Frequently Asked Questions
How is office relocation cost calculated?
Per-seat pricing model: ₹2,500-₹4,000 per seat for local moves, ₹4,500-₹7,500 for inter-city. For 100-seat office: 100 × ₹3,000 = ₹3,00,000 base. Add 20-30% for weekend execution, plus specialized equipment (server room, AV systems) as add-ons.
Should I do office relocation on weekend or weekday?
Weekend strongly recommended for offices over 30 seats. Weekday execution = 2-5 days business downtime = ₹50,000-5,00,000+ revenue loss for typical SMBs. Weekend premium of 20-30% costs less than even 1 day of downtime. ROI positive almost always.
How long does office relocation take?
Standard timeline (50-100 seats, local): Friday 6 PM packing → Saturday loading/transport → Sunday unloading → Monday 9 AM operational. Total 65 hours including transit. For inter-city: add 1-2 days for transportation. Larger offices (500+ seats) need 5-7 days planning + 3-day execution window.
Do I need to disconnect IT systems before move?
Yes, IT department coordination critical. Standard sequence: backup all data → disconnect servers (planned downtime announcement) → label all cables → pack workstations → move → reconnect at new location → test → resume operations. Specialized IT movers (Blue Dart's IT division) handle entire process.
Should I include employee transportation in office relocation cost?
Generally no — office relocation cost covers infrastructure only. Employee personal items, transportation to new location are separate. However, if relocating inter-city with employee household shifts, ask for combined corporate package — typically 15-25% discount on individual moves.
What insurance coverage is needed for office relocation?
Three layers: (1) GIT insurance for equipment in transit (Tata AIG up to ₹2 crore typical). (2) Premises insurance during loading/unloading. (3) Data insurance (if applicable, for sensitive customer data). Blue Dart Corporate package includes all three with documentation. Critical for IT companies and BFSI sector.

"In 20+ years process & quality management, I've learned that successful relocations come down to three things: thorough preparation, transparent communication, and accountability. Cutting corners on any of these costs customers more in the long run."
