Sensitive technology
Why IT and laboratories need their own moving plan
Servers, network cabinets, monitors and laboratory equipment are sensitive to shocks, vibrations and temperature changes. In addition, downtime must be kept as short as possible. That is why we plan IT and laboratory relocations together with your IT or laboratory managers.
We take care of packing, transport and set-up. Shutdown, data backup, calibration and commissioning remain the responsibility of your specialists or the manufacturer – so responsibilities are clearly defined.
- Separate transport: Equipment does not travel between furniture and boxes.
- Labelling per device: Old and new location, connections, responsibility.
- Time slots to suit your IT: Evenings or Saturdays at no surcharge.
- Insured: up to CHF 100'000.– per van, business liability insurance up to CHF 5 million.
IT relocation costs
How much does an IT and laboratory relocation cost?
We bill IT and laboratory relocations at an hourly rate. Additional effort arises mainly from special packaging, heavy equipment and narrow access. Everything is recorded during the survey and set out in the quote with a cost ceiling.
| 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 IT and laboratory relocation
Who packs the files and binders during an office move with IT and lab equipment?
We handle this as an archive move: binders go into numbered boxes in their existing order and end up on the shelves in the new office exactly as before. Personal items from each workstation are best packed by staff themselves into their own box labelled with their name.
How do heavy lab instruments get to an upper floor without a large goods lift?
During the survey we measure doors, corridors and the existing lift car and plan the route. If there is not enough space, we can raise equipment up the façade with the furniture lift. Throughout, we protect the lift, stairwell and floors with padding and floor protection.
Where do desks and cabinets go after an office move, and who reassembles them?
Exactly where your floor plan puts them. Our own carpenters reassemble desks, pedestals and shelving at the new site before the equipment is put in place. That way every workstation is set up by the time your IT team starts commissioning.
When is the old office cleaned and handed back after an IT and lab move?
Straight after move-out, if you book the final cleaning with us. Our team is on site for the handover inspection with the landlord or property management and fixes any complaints immediately and free of charge. Your staff can then focus entirely on getting started at the new location.
What changes if the new company location is abroad?
Customs clearance is added, and we take care of all of it: export at the Swiss customs office (BAZG) and import in the destination country. It is based on a complete list of equipment and furniture. We check the destination country's rules for business equipment with you in advance.
What should employees prepare on their last working day before an office move?
Empty desks and pedestals, pack personal belongings into their own box and label it with their name and new desk number. Loose small items such as mice or headsets go into a labelled bag. The clearer this groundwork, the faster each workstation is ready to use at the new site.
