A corporate relocation is bigger than a single office move. It might mean moving a headquarters to a new tower, consolidating three locations into one, opening a regional branch or relocating key employees and their families to Montreal or away from it. Many moving parts have to line up: lease dates, IT cutovers, furniture deliveries, staff communication and building rules at several addresses.

Déménagement NST Moving & Storage manages corporate relocations for companies across Greater Montreal. We act as your moving partner from the first planning meeting to the last box placed, coordinating crews, trucks, storage and schedules so your facilities and HR teams can focus on running the business.

Every project is led by a dedicated coordinator who becomes your single point of contact. We document inventories for each site, agree on a phased schedule and provide guaranteed flat-fee pricing for each phase, so your budget is clear before the work begins.

Quick answer: NST plans and carries out corporate relocations in Montreal, from headquarters moves and site consolidations to employee household moves, with one coordinator and guaranteed flat-fee pricing. Call (514) 458-7786.

Types of corporate relocations we handle

How NST manages a corporate relocation – NST Montreal movers

Headquarters moves: relocating a main office to a new building, often over several nights or weekends.
Office consolidation: merging two or more locations into one, including deciding which furniture moves, which goes to storage and which is recycled.
Expansion and new branches: setting up a second Montreal office or a branch in Laval, the South Shore, Quebec City, Ottawa or Toronto.
Floor and department moves: internal moves within the same building when teams are reorganised.
Employee relocation: household moves for staff moving to or from Montreal, with the same care we bring to every residential move.
Decommissioning: clearing out a space at the end of a lease so it can be returned to the landlord.

For single-location projects, our office moving service may be all you need.

Our corporate relocation planning process

Discovery meeting. We meet your facilities, HR, IT and leadership contacts to understand timelines, priorities and constraints.
Site surveys. Our coordinator surveys every location involved, documenting furniture, equipment, archives and building access.
Move strategy. Together we decide whether to move in one push or in phases, which departments go first and what must stay operational at all times.
Detailed schedule. Each phase gets dates, times, crew sizes, truck allocations and building bookings.
Communication kit. We supply packing instructions, labelling guides and timelines you can share with employees.
Execution. Our crews carry out each phase, with a crew lead on site and your coordinator available throughout.
Close-out. We confirm every item has arrived, collect crates, handle storage pickups and help clear the old space.

Employee relocation support

Relocating people is as important as relocating desks. When a company asks an employee to move, the experience shapes how quickly that person settles into the new role. NST can handle household moves for your transferees, from a studio apartment to a family house, with packing, storage and setup at the new home.

We work directly with the employee to schedule the move around their life, while giving your HR team clear pricing and updates. Common services include full packing, storage between homes, furniture assembly and long-distance moves to and from cities such as Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec City.

Budgeting and pricing for corporate moves

Corporate projects need predictable budgets. Rather than open-ended hourly rates, NST quotes each phase as a guaranteed flat fee. The main cost drivers are:

Cost driver	What it includes
Inventory per site	Workstations, offices, boardrooms, files, IT and special equipment at each location.
Number of phases	One large move or several smaller ones spread over nights or weekends.
Access and building rules	Freight elevators, docks, restricted hours and distances at every address.
Packing and IT handling	Whether staff pack, we pack, or a mix, plus anti-static packing for electronics.
Furniture installation	Dismantling and rebuilding workstations, boardrooms and shelving.
Storage and disposal	Surplus furniture stored, donated or recycled, and archives kept off site.
Employee moves	Household moves billed separately or under a company agreement.

Reducing risk during a corporate move

Single chain of responsibility. One coordinator owns the plan, so nothing falls between teams.
Inventory tracking. Every item is labelled and matched to a destination, reducing loss and mix-ups between sites.
Secure records. Confidential files can travel in sealed or locked crates, supporting your obligations to protect personal information under Quebec’s privacy rules.
IT protection. Equipment is packed in anti-static materials and kept together, and your IT team decides the order of disconnection and setup.
Building protection. Floors, walls, doors and elevators are protected at every address to protect your deposits.
Insurance documentation. We supply certificates of insurance to building managers on request.

A typical corporate relocation timeline

Every project is different, but most corporate relocations follow a similar rhythm. Use this timeline as a starting point for your internal planning.

Four to six months before: confirm the new lease and key dates, appoint an internal project lead and contact your moving company for an initial consultation. This is also the moment to review furniture: will you reuse existing workstations or buy new ones?

Three months before: complete site surveys at every location, agree on a phased move strategy, and start planning IT, telecom and security systems for the new space. Share the high-level timeline with department heads.

Six to eight weeks before: finalise floor plans and seating charts, confirm elevator and loading dock bookings, order packing materials and plan which items will go to storage, donation or recycling.

Two to four weeks before: distribute packing kits and instructions, hold a short briefing for each department, and update your address with clients, suppliers, banks and government accounts.

Move week: final confirmations with buildings, IT disconnection schedule, labelled equipment and a clear contact list for the crew lead and your coordinator.

After the move: walkthrough of every floor, adjustments, crate pickup, stored item deliveries and handover of the old premises.

Working with landlords and property managers

Corporate moves often involve several buildings, each with its own rules. Property managers may require a certificate of insurance naming the landlord, specific moving hours, protection of elevators and lobbies, and advance booking of loading docks. Some downtown towers only allow moves at night or on weekends.

Your NST coordinator contacts each property manager, collects the requirements and confirms bookings in writing. We protect common areas at every address and leave them as we found them, which helps you recover security deposits at the old location and start on the right foot with your new landlord. At the end of the project, we can also help clear the old space so it is ready for the lease-end inspection.

Reuse, donate, recycle: a greener relocation

A relocation is the perfect moment to reduce waste. Before moving everything, review what you actually need in the new space. Furniture in good condition can be reused, stored for future growth or donated to local organisations. Old electronics should go to a certified e-waste recycler, and confidential paper archives should be securely shredded rather than thrown away.

We help you separate items into clear categories during the survey: move, store, donate, recycle or dispose. Fewer items on the truck means a faster move, a lower price and a smaller environmental footprint. Our reusable plastic crates also replace hundreds of cardboard boxes on larger office moves.

Common challenges in corporate relocation

Moving targets. Construction delays at the new site can push dates back. Short-term storage gives you flexibility without paying for a second move.
Many decision makers. We keep one approved plan and one contact list so everyone works from the same information.
Business continuity. Phased moves and after-hours scheduling keep critical teams online throughout.
Employee concerns. Clear communication, simple packing guides and an organised first day help staff feel confident about the change.

What a corporate relocation coordinator does for you

Your NST coordinator is the person who turns a complex project into a simple schedule. Before the move, they collect requirements from every stakeholder, survey each site, build the inventory and floor plans, book trucks and crews, and confirm building rules. During the move, they keep everyone updated, solve problems on the spot and make sure each phase finishes on time. After the move, they handle follow-up visits, stored item deliveries and final paperwork.

For your facilities manager, that means one phone number instead of ten. For HR, it means a clear plan to share with employees. For finance, it means a flat-fee price per phase with no surprise overtime. And for leadership, it means the business keeps running while the company changes address.

Corporate relocation FAQs

What is the difference between corporate relocation and office moving?

Office moving usually means one location moving to another. Corporate relocation can involve several sites, phased schedules, storage, decommissioning and employee household moves, all coordinated as one project.

Can you move our company in phases?

Yes. We often split large relocations into phases by department or floor so the business keeps running throughout the move.

Do you relocate employees as well as offices?

Yes. We can handle household moves for employees moving to or from Montreal, including packing, storage and long-distance transport.

How do you price a multi-site project?

Each phase is quoted as a guaranteed flat fee based on the inventory, access, timing and services needed, so you know the total budget in advance.

Can you store furniture we do not need right away?

Yes. Surplus furniture, equipment and archives can be stored in our secure facility and delivered when and where you need them.

How early should we contact you?

For large or multi-site projects, contact us two to three months before the first move date so we can survey each location and build the schedule.

Can you help us decommission the old office?

Yes. After the last phase, we can remove leftover furniture, take items to storage, arrange donation or recycling and leave the space ready for the landlord’s lease-end inspection.

Do you move company branches outside Quebec?

Yes. We move offices and employees from Montreal to Ottawa, Toronto and other Canadian cities, with the same coordinator-led planning and flat-fee pricing.

Can our employees choose their own moving date?

Yes. For employee household moves, we schedule directly with each person around their lease, school calendar and start date, while keeping your HR team informed.
