Office shifting in Dehradun without losing a working day
Office shifting in Dehradun works best when the move fits around your business, not the other way round. Agarwal Packers and Movers plans office, shop and clinic moves for evenings, Sundays or in phases, so staff leave one set of desks on a working day and sit down at the new ones on the next.
Office relocation across Dehradun
Commercial moves in the city range from a two-room consultancy to a floor of workstations. Each kind of business has its own priorities on the day.
IT and corporate offices
Around the IT Park on Sahastradhara Road, along Rajpur Road and on GMS Road. Lots of identical desks, monitors and chairs, which is exactly why tagging matters.
Tip: get the new seating plan signed off before the survey.
Industrial units and their offices
Administrative blocks in the Selaqui industrial area and on Haridwar Road, often with records rooms, sample stores and heavy steel almirahs.
Tip: check the estate's rules for goods vehicles entering and leaving.
Clinics and diagnostic rooms
Patient records, examination tables and delicate equipment. Specialised medical machines should be prepared by the supplier's engineer before we pack them.
Tip: tell patients the closing date well before the move.
Coaching institutes
Classroom benches, whiteboards, projectors and study material, usually moved between batches or over a weekend so no class is missed.
Tip: schedule around exam weeks, not just the lease date.
Bank and branch offices
Furniture, files and counters. Cash, valuables and anything under the branch's own security rules stay with the branch and its procedures.
Tip: share your head office's checklist with us early.
Shops in commercial complexes
Stock, display racks, glass counters and billing machines, often in complexes where the loading bay and lift are shared with other tenants.
Tip: count stock before packing and again after unpacking.
How to plan office shifting in Dehradun
A small office can be planned in a week or two. A larger one moves more smoothly with about a month of notice. This is a sensible order to work through.
Three to four weeks before
Name one person on your side to own the move. Book a survey of both premises, current and new, so we can see the stairs, lifts, loading points and parking at each.
Two to three weeks before
Receive the written quote and agree the move window. Ask both building managements about lift booking, permitted hours and any permission letter they need.
Two weeks before
Finalise the floor plan of the new office with a number for every desk, cabin and cupboard. Decide what is being scrapped, sold or sent to storage.
The week before
Staff clear personal items and archive old files. Your IT person plans the network shutdown and the order in which systems come back up.
Move window
We pack, tag, load and move, then place everything by the floor plan. Workstations are rebuilt and furniture reassembled before we leave.
The first morning
Staff walk in to their numbered desks. Keep the crew lead's number handy for any desk that needs shifting a few feet.
After-hours, Sunday and phased office moves
The right move window depends on how long you can afford to be closed. Most businesses pick one of these.
1Evening moves
Packing starts once staff leave, and the office is set up at the new address before the next morning. Suits smaller offices and shops, where the volume fits into one long evening.
2Sunday or holiday moves
A full day with nobody at their desk. Common for larger offices and coaching centres. Check that the commercial complex allows goods movement on a Sunday.
3Phased moves
One department or floor at a time, across several days. Accounts can move while sales keeps working, and nobody is offline for long.
4Floor plan tagging
Every chair, monitor, CPU and drawer unit carries a tag matching a number on the new floor plan. The crew places by tag, so nothing ends up on the wrong desk.
5Modular workstations
Linear desks, partitions and cabin units are dismantled, the hardware bagged per unit, and rebuilt to the new layout. Bring the original layout drawing if you have one.
6Files and records
Files go into sealed, numbered cartons with a list of what each holds. Cartons are opened only at the new office, by your staff if you prefer.
Who does what on an office move
IT equipment moving is where roles need to be clearest. Your IT person shuts systems down and brings them back; we handle everything physical in between. Desktops, monitors and printers are padded and packed in cartons, and servers or network racks are moved once your team has disconnected them.
| Task | Your business | Agarwal Packers and Movers |
|---|---|---|
| Data and backups | Back up before shutdown | Not involved |
| Network and servers | Disconnect, label cables, reconnect | Pack and move the hardware |
| Desktops and printers | Shut down, unplug | Pad, carton, tag and place by desk |
| Floor plan | Approve the new seating | Tag items and place to the plan |
| Building permission | Request from both managements | Work within the permitted hours |
| Files | Sort and archive | Seal, number and list cartons |
| Furniture | Mark what is being scrapped | Dismantle, move and reassemble |
Permissions, billing and storage for corporate shifting
Lift booking and building permission
Many commercial complexes on Rajpur Road and around the IT Park control the goods lift, the loading bay and the hours when trucks may stand outside. Ask each building's management what they need from you, and share their rules with us so the crew is booked to match.
GST invoice
Businesses receive a GST tax invoice with our GSTIN 05GMIPB4229N1ZV. Share your company name and GSTIN for the invoice. You can check our registration details before you book.
Storage for surplus furniture
Moving into a smaller space, or waiting for a fit-out to finish? Extra desks, chairs and old files can go into storage in Dehradun until you need them, priced by volume.
End of the financial year
March is a popular month for office moves, as leases and budgets close together. If yours falls then, book the survey early.
Questions about office shifting
How do I plan an office shifting in Dehradun?
Start three to four weeks ahead. Appoint one coordinator, book a survey of both premises, get a written quote, confirm lift and permission rules with both buildings, approve a numbered floor plan and brief your IT person on the shutdown. The movers then pack, tag, move and place everything to that plan.
How long does it take to shift an office?
A small office or shop can often move in one evening. A larger office usually needs a full Sunday or a phased move over a few days. The survey tells us which fits, based on the volume and the access at both buildings.
Do packers and movers shift offices on weekends?
Yes. Evening, Sunday and holiday moves are common for offices, so the business does not lose a working day. Check that both buildings allow goods movement at those times.
How are computers and servers packed during an office move?
Your IT person backs up data and disconnects the network and servers. We then pad desktops, monitors and printers, pack them in cartons tagged by desk, and move servers and racks as your team has prepared them. Your IT person reconnects everything at the new office.
Will I get a GST bill for office shifting?
Yes. Businesses receive a GST tax invoice with our GSTIN 05GMIPB4229N1ZV. Share your company name and GSTIN for the invoice.
How much does office shifting cost in Dehradun?
Office moves are quoted after a free survey, because the number of workstations, IT equipment, floors, lift access and the move window vary too much for a fixed range. See how moving charges are worked out.
