The core difference: downtime
Residential moves are about care. Commercial moves are about time-to-recovery. Every planning decision flows from that.
Residential planning inputs
- Home size and access
- Fragile and sentimental items
- Packing preferences
- Family schedule (school, work)
Commercial planning inputs
- Business hours & when downtime is acceptable
- IT infrastructure timing
- Furniture systems & seating chart
- Compliance (HIPAA, records)
- Building rules at both addresses
Timeline reality check
- Residential: 2–6 weeks lead time
- Small office: 3–6 weeks
- Medium office: 6–8 weeks
- Large / multi-floor: 12+ weeks
Why phased office moves work
Move accounting Friday. Sales Sunday. IT overnight. Nobody misses a Monday. It costs slightly more in hours but saves days of lost productivity.
