When a business moves, every hour the doors are closed costs money. Staff cannot work, customers cannot reach you and orders stop shipping. That is why commercial moving is a very different job from moving a home. It needs a plan, a schedule built around your operations and a crew that understands how to move desks, files, servers, inventory and equipment without losing a single box along the way.

Déménagement NST Moving & Storage helps Montreal businesses relocate offices, shops, clinics, restaurants, warehouses and light industrial spaces across the island, Laval, Longueuil and the North and South Shores. We move after hours, overnight, on weekends and during holidays so your team can leave on Friday and be back at work on Monday morning as if nothing happened.

Every commercial move starts with a dedicated move coordinator who visits or video-surveys your space, builds an inventory, maps the new floor plan and confirms building requirements at both addresses. You get a guaranteed flat-fee price before moving day, so a slow freight elevator or a long hallway never turns into a surprise on the invoice.

Quick answer: NST moves Montreal offices, stores, warehouses and clinics after hours and on weekends, with a single coordinator, full protection of your building and a guaranteed flat fee. Call (514) 458-7786 or request a free quote.

Commercial moving services we provide

What every NST commercial move includes – NST Montreal movers

Commercial clients rarely need just one thing. Most moves combine several services, and we coordinate them under one plan so you deal with one company and one point of contact.

Office moving for small offices, open-plan floors and multi-storey headquarters, including workstations, boardrooms and file rooms.
Corporate relocation for companies moving departments, consolidating locations or relocating employees to a new city.
Retail store moving for boutiques, showrooms and chains, with fixtures, displays and stock handled in the right order.
Restaurant moving for kitchens, dining rooms and bars, including commercial appliances and smallwares.
Warehouse moving and industrial moving for racking, pallets, inventory and light machinery.
Medical office moving for clinics, dental offices and labs that need careful equipment handling and confidential records.
IT equipment moving for computers, servers, printers and network gear, packed in anti-static materials.
School, library, hotel and government office moves with strict schedules and security needs.

Need somewhere to put furniture or inventory between leases? Our secure storage lets you keep items for days, weeks or months and have them delivered when the new space is ready.

How we plan a commercial move, step by step

A smooth business move is ninety percent planning. Our process is designed to remove guesswork and give every department a clear role.

Site survey. Your coordinator walks through the current space in person or by video, notes every room, workstation, file cabinet and special item, and checks access: loading docks, freight elevators, parking and stairwells.
Inventory and floor plan. We match each item to a destination on your new floor plan. Every desk, chair, cabinet and box gets a colour and number so the crew knows exactly where it goes.
Building coordination. We confirm elevator bookings, loading dock times and certificate of insurance requirements with both property managers well in advance.
Packing kit and timeline. Your staff receive crates or boxes, labels and simple instructions on what to pack and when. We can also pack the whole office for you.
Move window. The crew arrives at the agreed time, protects floors, walls, doors and elevators, then disassembles, wraps and loads in a planned sequence.
Setup at the new space. Furniture is reassembled and placed according to the plan, boxes are delivered to the right desks and protective materials are removed.
Post-move support. Your coordinator follows up to handle any adjustments, extra pickups or items that need to go into storage.

Moving after hours, overnight and on weekends

Most commercial customers ask us to move outside business hours. NST is one of the Montreal moving companies that works 7 days a week, which gives you real flexibility.

Evening moves start after your team leaves and finish before morning, ideal for small and medium offices.
Overnight moves let larger offices close Friday evening and open Monday with phones, desks and files in place.
Weekend and holiday moves suit retail stores, clinics and restaurants that cannot close during the week.
Phased moves split a large relocation over several nights or weekends, department by department, so part of the business is always running.

For buildings with restricted moving hours, we schedule around the property manager’s rules and confirm every booking in writing. That keeps you on good terms with landlords and neighbours at both locations.

What affects the price of a commercial move

Every business move is quoted individually, and the price is locked in as a guaranteed flat fee before the day. These are the main factors we look at:

Factor	Why it matters
Size of the space and inventory	The number of workstations, cabinets, boxes and large items sets the crew size and truck capacity.
Access at both buildings	Freight elevators, loading docks, stairs and distance from the truck change how long each load takes.
Time of the move	Evening, overnight and weekend moves are planned around building rules and crew scheduling.
Disassembly and setup	Modular workstations, boardroom tables and shelving need tools and time to take apart and rebuild.
Packing services	You can pack yourselves, have us pack only IT and fragile items, or have us pack the entire office.
Special equipment	Servers, safes, medical equipment, machinery or commercial kitchen appliances need specialised handling.
Storage and phasing	Storing furniture or splitting the move into phases is quoted clearly as part of the plan.

Protecting your people, data and building

A commercial move puts more than furniture at risk. We take care of the things that matter most to a business.

Your data. Computers and servers are labelled, packed in anti-static materials and kept together on the truck. Confidential files can be moved in sealed, locked crates and kept in sight of the crew lead at all times. Quebec businesses must protect personal information under Law 25, so ask us about sealed crate options if you handle client or patient records.

Your building. We use floor runners, corner guards, door jamb protectors and elevator padding at both addresses. Damage to common areas can cost you a security deposit, so we treat the building as carefully as your furniture.

Your team. We give staff simple packing guides and a clear schedule so nobody is lifting heavy boxes or wondering where their desk went. On move-in day, every workstation is ready to plug in.

Trained, uniformed crews. Background-checked movers who know how to work quietly and respectfully in occupied buildings.
7-day availability. Evenings, nights, weekends and holidays are all possible.
Everything under one roof. Packing, crating, IT handling, furniture assembly and secure storage from the same team.

Industries we move every week

Commercial moving looks different in every sector, and our crews adapt their methods to the space they are working in.

Professional offices. Law firms, accounting practices, agencies and tech companies need workstations rebuilt exactly as planned, confidential files kept secure and IT ready to reconnect. These moves usually happen after hours to protect billable time.

Retail and showrooms. Shops need fixtures, mannequins, display cases and stock moved in an order that lets the new store open quickly. We pack inventory by department and label it to match your new layout.

Restaurants and cafés. Commercial fridges, ranges, stainless steel tables and smallwares are heavy, awkward and expensive. We plan the route through the kitchen, protect floors and coordinate with your installers.

Healthcare and clinics. Dental chairs, examination tables, diagnostic equipment and patient files require careful handling and a strict schedule so appointments can resume.

Warehouses and light industrial. Pallets, racking, inventory and light machinery need the right equipment, a safe loading plan and coordination with forklifts and docks.

Schools, libraries and public offices. These moves often run on fixed calendars, such as the summer break or a holiday week, and involve thousands of books, files or classroom items that must be tracked carefully.

Common commercial moving mistakes to avoid

After many business moves, we see the same avoidable problems again and again. A little planning removes most of them.

Booking too late. Freight elevators, loading docks and good moving dates fill up, especially at month-end. Contact movers as soon as your lease is signed.
Forgetting the building rules. Many buildings require a certificate of insurance, set moving hours and floor protection. Missing a requirement can stop a move at the door.
Moving everything. Old furniture, broken chairs and decades of archives cost money to move. Decide early what to keep, store, donate or recycle.
Leaving IT to the last minute. Internet, phone lines and network equipment at the new site should be ordered weeks in advance so staff can work on day one.
No labelling system. Without numbered labels and a floor plan, crews lose time asking where things go and boxes end up in the wrong room.
No internal move lead. Each department should have one person who answers questions and makes decisions during the move.

Questions to ask before hiring commercial movers

Not every moving company is set up for business relocations. Before you sign, ask:

Do you provide a guaranteed flat fee, or will the price change with the hours worked?
Can you work evenings, overnight and on weekends?
Can you provide a certificate of insurance for our building?
Who will be our single point of contact before and during the move?
How do you protect computers, servers and confidential files?
Can you disassemble and reassemble our workstations and boardroom furniture?
Do you offer storage if our new space is not ready?

At NST, the answer to every one of these questions is yes, and your coordinator will put it in writing in your moving plan.

Commercial moving FAQs

How far in advance should we book a commercial move?

For small offices, two to four weeks is usually enough. For larger offices, phased moves or moves near the end of a month, we recommend six to eight weeks so we can survey the space and book elevators and loading docks.

Can you move our business overnight or on a weekend?

Yes. Most of our commercial moves happen in the evening, overnight or on weekends so your team does not lose working days.

Do you provide a certificate of insurance for our building?

Yes. Many Montreal buildings require a certificate of insurance before movers can use the freight elevator or loading dock. Send us the building’s requirements and we will provide the document in advance.

Will you disassemble and reassemble workstations?

Yes. Our crews disassemble and reassemble desks, modular workstations, boardroom tables, shelving and most office furniture as part of the plan.

Can you store furniture or inventory between locations?

Yes. We can store furniture, files and inventory in our secure facility and deliver it when your new space is ready, in one delivery or in phases.

How is a commercial move priced?

We give a guaranteed flat fee based on your inventory, access at both buildings, timing, packing and any special equipment. The price is confirmed before the move and does not change with the duration of the day.
