Corporate Relocation Services in Los Angeles — Employee Moves Done Right
Employee household moves with the paperwork, scheduling and single point of contact relocation programs actually need.
Built for how relocation actually works
Whether your company runs a managed program, a lump-sum benefit or simple reimbursement, the needs are the same: documentation finance will accept, dates that match a start date, and zero drama for the employee. Every corporate move gets a named coordinator, written scope, itemized invoice (separated into reimbursable categories on request), and proactive status updates the employee never has to chase.
What HR and the employee each get
- Employee: one phone number, a written flat rate or binding price, packing options, and delivery on a scheduled day — not a window.
- Employer/HR: itemized invoices with W-9 on file, certificates of insurance, valuation documents, and consolidated billing for multiple moves.
- Both: 30 days of free storage when housing isn't ready — the most common relocation friction, solved by default.
Typical corporate move formats
| Format | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Local employee move (1–2BR) | $330–$832 hourly |
| Inbound from another state | Binding flat price by route |
| Lump-sum employee (self-pay, reimbursed) | Standard rates + reimbursement-ready invoice |
| Group moves / office + staff | Project pricing, one coordinator |
An office move is a downtime problem, not a furniture problem
Nobody calls about an office move because the desks are heavy. They call because the business cannot be closed on Monday.
So the plan runs backwards from the first hour of trading in the new space. What has to be working at 9am — usually phones, network, and the people who answer them — moves first and gets tested before anything else is unloaded. What can be boxed for a week moves last. The furniture, which is the only part that looks like a moving job, is the least time-critical thing in the building.
Best Movers LA runs commercial jobs nights and weekends for exactly this reason: a Friday-evening start with a Sunday finish costs the same hourly rate as a Tuesday and costs you no trading days at all. Weekend and evening work carries no surcharge on our rate card.
The four things that delay office moves in LA
| What | Lead time to arrange |
|---|---|
| Certificate of insurance naming both buildings, to each landlord's exact wording | Best Movers LA issues within 24 hours at no charge; buildings often want it 48–72 hours ahead |
| Freight elevator reserved at both ends, with padding booked | Days, sometimes weeks in DTLA and Century City towers — the scarcest resource in the whole move |
| Loading dock slot and vehicle height clearance | Booked with building management; some docks will not take a 26-foot truck at all |
| After-hours building access and security sign-in for the crew | Arranged with property management ahead of the date |
Only the first of those is ours to solve. The other three belong to your landlords, and they are the reason office moves slip. Start them the week the lease is signed — a freight elevator that is already booked for another tenant will decide your move date regardless of what anyone else prefers.
On IT: Best Movers LA crews move and reinstall the furniture and transport packed equipment, but servers, network gear and anything that needs decommissioning and recommissioning belong with your IT provider, working to the same schedule. The handover point should be written down before the day, not negotiated during it.
