Denver Office Moving Costs in 2026, by Office Size
A local office move in the Denver metro usually lands between about $1,800 for a 10-person suite and $32,000 or more for a full floor of 100 people with IT equipment, cubicle work and a weekend window. The distance between buildings is rarely the main driver. What moves the number is the headcount, how many modular workstations have to be taken apart, how the two buildings behave on move day and whether the work has to happen after hours.
The figures below are typical market ranges for the Denver and Front Range area in late 2026, in US dollars. They are not a Mobilix price list, and your move gets its own written quote once the scope is clear.
Typical ranges by office size
These bands assume a local move within the Denver metro, a standard mix of workstations and private offices, light to moderate IT work and a reasonable amount of lead time.
- 10 to 20 people, suite move. About $1,800 to $5,500. One truck, a small crew, a Saturday window. Most offices in this band fit inside one freight elevator booking at each building.
- 20 to 40 people. About $5,000 to $12,000. Two to three trucks, more disassembly and reassembly, and usually some IT work beyond workstation moves.
- 40 to 75 people. About $10,000 to $22,000. Multiple crews, overnight or weekend work, modular furniture systems to break down, and a project manager coordinating both buildings.
- 75 to 150 people, floor or multi-floor. About $18,000 to $45,000. Phased IT handling, server or network room moves, multiple elevator reservations, and extended project management.
- 150+ people and warehouse-attached offices. Priced on scope. Expect $35,000 and up, with the final number driven by racking, inventory, specialty equipment and the number of move windows.
A warehouse move in Denver, Aurora, Commerce City or along the I-70 corridor sits in a separate category. Racking disassembly, forklift coordination and inventory volume dominate the price, and quotes get built from the asset list rather than from headcount.
Hourly crew rates in Denver
Published hourly rates for commercial moving crews in Denver generally sit between $140 and $220 per hour for a two-person crew with a truck, and from $75 to $110 per additional mover. Specialty roles cost more: a lead installer on modular systems, a project manager on site, or a server-room specialist add their own line to the quote. Travel time to and from the yard is usually billed, so look at how it is calculated when comparing bids.
Hourly rates are useful for a half-day office tidy-up or a short internal move inside the same building. For a full office relocation, a flat or capped quote based on a written scope is almost always better. It makes the Monday morning number predictable, and it forces the questions about IT, furniture and timing to be answered before move day.
What moves the price in Denver specifically
Building rules and access
A ground-floor suite with a dedicated loading dock near I-25 is cheap to move out of. A high-rise in LoDo, the Central Business District or along the 16th Street corridor, with a single freight elevator shared by other tenants and a strict evening-only window, is not. The difference between those two buildings on the same move can be several thousand dollars.
Ask both buildings for their move-in and move-out rules early. Insurance certificate requirements, elevator pads, timing restrictions, dock reservations and after-hours security coverage all show up in the quote. The sooner they are known, the fewer surprises on the day.
Headcount and furniture systems
Workstation count matters more than square footage. A 60-person office with Steelcase, Herman Miller, Haworth or Teknion workstations takes longer to disassemble and reassemble correctly than a 60-person office with freestanding desks. Note the system you have in the request form; the manufacturer and generation change the labour hours needed to break down and rebuild the panels, surfaces and electrical whips.
Private office furniture usually travels as is. L-desks, credenzas and bookcases get padded, strapped and transported assembled when the elevator and corridors allow it.
IT equipment and server rooms
A small comms closet with a few switches and a UPS can be moved in a short window with a weekend shutdown. A full server room with on-premises storage, phone systems and failover gear needs a separate plan: shutdown and power-up sequencing with your IT team, labelled asset tags, protective packing, and a defined handover at each end. In our server room moving guide we walk through the full sequence. Expect any serious IT scope to add $2,000 to $10,000 depending on size, and much more for data centre work.
Timing
Most Denver commercial moves happen Friday night through Sunday, so staff arrive at the new address Monday morning. After-hours and weekend work carries a premium that is baked into the quote. End-of-month and end-of-quarter dates are the busiest, and getting a crew on short notice during those weeks is harder and more expensive. More lead time almost always lowers the number.
Altitude, weather and winter dates
Denver's altitude is not a cost factor on paper, but it does shape move day. Crews cover more flights of stairs when elevators are not available, and the extra effort shows up as hours. Winter is the bigger variable. A storm in January can close I-70 or shut down a building's loading area, and a move planned around a storm needs built-in contingencies. If you have schedule flexibility between late October and April, build a backup date into the plan.
Insurance and certificates
Most Denver office and commercial buildings ask for a certificate of insurance from the moving company before anyone can book an elevator. Make sure the certificate language matches the landlord's wording, including additional insureds and limits, and plan for a few business days to issue it. Our team handles that paperwork as part of the quote, and we cover the general requirements in commercial moving insurance across North America.
Three ways to lower a Denver move quote
- Book earlier. Four to eight weeks of lead time for a mid-sized office makes the crew easier to size, the freight elevators easier to reserve and the IT work easier to sequence. Last-minute weekend bookings cost more and leave less room to recover from any problem.
- Decide what is not moving. Furniture that is not going to the new space should not be put on a truck. A short list of items for liquidation, donation or disposal, prepared a few weeks before the move, usually pays for itself. See furniture liquidation versus storage during an office move for how to decide which items are worth storing.
- Give one point of contact at each site. A single decision maker on your side at both buildings, and one at the mover, reduces delays, prevents duplicate work and keeps the move crew productive. On a 60-person move, this habit can save a crew-hour or two across the weekend.
Frequently asked questions
Does Mobilix publish a flat price list for Denver office moves?
No. Every commercial move gets a written quote based on both sites, the headcount and furniture, the IT scope and the move window. The ranges above are typical market numbers for Denver so you can budget before the scope is finalized.
Is it cheaper to move during the week?
Weekday daytime moves can be slightly cheaper on the crew rate because there is no after-hours premium, but most buildings in Denver limit commercial moves to evenings and weekends. If your buildings allow a weekday move and the business can handle the disruption, say so in the request and we price both options.
How long does a 50-person Denver office move take?
A standard 50-person office move with normal IT and furniture scope typically runs from Friday evening through late Sunday, with staff arriving Monday morning. Overlapping work, a complex server room, or a building that only allows a single freight elevator can push that window; a written plan sets the exact timing.
Do the ranges include packing materials and dollies?
Usually yes. Reusable bins, dollies, labels, padded covers and asset tags are commonly included in a commercial move scope and delivered before move day. Specialty packing for art, lab equipment or oversized items is quoted separately when it applies.
