Office move phasing: commercial crews and building rules

Commercial moves punish vague scope. Tenants need COIs, freight elevator slots, and often after-hours load windows so desks and servers are not idle during business hours. Affinity routes office work through commercial movers Minneapolis at Moves You Commercial — separate from residential intake so project managers see cubicles, safes, and IT timelines upfront.

What belongs in the first estimate

Inventory workstations, conference tables, file rooms, and specialty items. Note whether disconnect/reconnect is in scope or handled by vendors. Parking and dock access in downtown Minneapolis and Lowertown St. Paul should be confirmed before crew count is final.

Residential brands are the wrong door

Apartment and local-home brands optimize for leases and elevators in housing stock. Office jobs that start there often get re-quoted when scope grows. Start on the commercial service line when the move is B2B.
