Moving within the building
A short distance, but many details
Even if the distance is only one floor, an internal move often affects many workstations at the same time. Desks have to be dismantled and reassembled, boxes allocated, and the lift and stairwell protected – all while the rest of the business keeps running.
We divide the move into stages, protect floors, walls and the lift and set up the furniture according to the new occupancy plan. We can dispose of or store surplus furniture at the same time.
- Staged plan: only a few workstations affected at any one time.
- Protection of lift and stairwell: protective materials are included.
- Furniture assembly: desks, cabinets and shelves according to the occupancy plan.
- Surplus furniture: disposal CHF 65.– per m³ or storage from CHF 15.– per m³ per month.
Internal move costs
How much does an internal move cost?
Internal moves involve no long drives – the work lies in carrying, dismantling and reassembling. We bill in 15-minute increments and give you a cost ceiling after the on-site survey.
| Service | Guide value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Team of 3 people incl. furniture van | from CHF 262.– per hour | Minimum booking 3 hours, billed in 15-minute increments |
| Furniture lift deployment | from CHF 300.– | depending on floor, access and duration of use |
| Office Furniture Disposal | CHF 65.– per m³ | plus effort for dismantling and transport |
| Interim storage | from CHF 15.– per m³ per month | clean, dry, insured |
All prices include insurance, excluding 8.1% VAT. The exact effort depends on workstations, furniture and IT equipment and is determined during the free on-site survey.

I was very satisfied with the moving services and the cleaning work. The furniture was properly packed and handled with care. The subsequent cleaning was also carried out professionally, so the handover went through without any issues. What's more, all the staff were extremely friendly. I can only recommend the company.

The move went perfectly. The team was upbeat, friendly and very careful. They also worked extremely efficiently, so they were even faster than originally planned. On top of that, the price was very good. I can warmly recommend Swiss Umzüge.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about internal moves
Who disconnects and sets up computers, monitors and printers during an internal office move?
Our team, as part of the IT relocation: equipment is disconnected, packed in shock-proof material, labelled and set up again at the new workstation. Network and software are best configured by your own IT staff, and we agree the timings together.
How do files and records stay in the right order during an internal move?
With an organised archive move: we pack shelf by shelf into numbered boxes, note where each comes from and where it goes, and put the files back in the same sequence at the new location. Staff find their documents straight away and nobody has to re-sort anything.
Where can a company get moving boxes for an internal move?
From us, free of charge: we deliver moving boxes and packing material two to three weeks before the date so that every department can pack without rushing. Once everything is unpacked, we collect the empty boxes again, so they take up no space in the office.
When is a furniture lift needed for an internal move within an office building?
When large cabinets, desks or shelving units do not fit into the passenger lift or the stairwell is too narrow. The furniture lift raises them on the outside of the building through a window to the new floor. We check whether one is needed during the free on-site survey.
What applies to laboratory equipment when a department moves internally?
That is what our laboratory relocation service is for: delicate instruments are packed individually in protective material, transported securely within the building and set up at their new place. Please clarify chemicals and samples with the internal officers in charge beforehand, so that storage and transport are properly arranged.
What do employees need to prepare before an internal office move?
Empty desks and pedestals, pack personal belongings into separate boxes and label every box with your name and new room. It is best to mark cables before unplugging them. The clearer the labelling, the sooner each workstation is ready again at the new location.
