Office moving in Dubai, in brief
An office move is judged on one thing: whether people can work on Monday. Everything else is detail, and the way to protect it is to move outside working hours and to plan for the fit-out overrunning — which is the moving half of moving and storage in Dubai.
Collections are normally evenings or a weekend, because an office cannot be cleared around people working in it, and most Dubai commercial towers restrict move-outs to defined windows anyway.
Where the new floor is not finished — which is the normal case rather than the exception — everything goes into storage for the gap and comes back in stages as areas complete.
Plan for the fit-out overrunning
Fit-outs overrun. Not sometimes — as a rule, and usually by weeks rather than days, because approvals, contractor scheduling and snagging all compound. An office move plan that assumes the new floor is ready on the promised date is a plan with one point of failure in it.
The way to remove that failure is to decouple the two dates. Hand the old floor back on its date, store everything, and move in when the new floor is genuinely finished rather than nominally finished. Billing is monthly with no fixed end, so the overrun costs the weeks it costs and nothing else.
The alternative — extending the old lease at short notice — is almost always more expensive and sometimes not available at all, because the landlord has already re-let it.
Phased delivery back works well with this: as areas of the new floor are completed, the furniture for those areas comes back, so the business occupies the finished part while snagging continues elsewhere.
The office move checklist that protects Monday
- Confirm the move-out window and permit at the old building, and the move-in window at the new one.
- Back up and image every machine, and take drives out of anything critical. Storage should never be the only copy.
- Photograph each workstation's cable layout and bag cables per desk. This is the single biggest time saving on reassembly.
- Label by destination department and new-floor zone, not by which room it came from.
- Decide what is not going before the day. An office move is where the surplus furniture problem surfaces at 9pm.
- Keep licences, leases and statutory originals with you rather than in a crate — see office and relocation storage for the records side.
- Nominate one person on each side who can make decisions on the day, and make sure the crew knows who they are.
Scale and timing
Up to 10 desks
Typical window: An evening
If it goes into storage: 80–150 sq ft
10–30 desks
Typical window: A full day or a night
If it goes into storage: 150–400 sq ft
30–60 desks
Typical window: A weekend
If it goes into storage: 400–800 sq ft
60+ desks
Typical window: Phased over two weekends
If it goes into storage: Survey required
Above about 30 desks we would rather survey than estimate. On an office move a wrong estimate is a Monday morning with no desks, which is a different order of problem from a domestic overrun.

Can you move us over a weekend?
Yes, and for most offices that is how it is done. Evenings and weekends avoid disrupting trading, and most Dubai commercial towers restrict move-outs to those windows in any case.
What happens if the new fit-out is not finished?
Everything goes into storage and comes back when the floor is genuinely ready — in stages if you want to occupy the completed areas first. Billing is monthly with no fixed end date, so an overrun costs weeks rather than triggering a renegotiation.
Do you handle IT equipment?
Yes. Back up and image machines beforehand and remove any drive holding critical data. Screens travel and are stored upright, and cables are bagged per workstation.
Who arranges the building permits?
We arrange lift bookings and crew registration at both buildings. Anything the landlord requires from you as tenant — an NOC, a clearance letter — remains yours to obtain, and it is worth starting early.
Can you deliver in phases as the fit-out completes?
Yes, and for a phased fit-out that is the sensible approach. Each delivery is quoted as its own job and areas get refurnished as they are handed over.
