The Clock Keeps Running on Commercial Moving

and So Does the Uncertainty

Commercial moves have a lot of waiting built in: freight elevators, loading dock windows, building managers. On an hourly move, your business pays for every minute of it.

Wall clockThat's a lot of uncertainty for your budget.

Red Cat does it differently.

We agree on the price after a walkthrough, so you know the cost before anything is unplugged.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate

Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?

Commercial moves run into dock windows, elevator bookings and after-hours rules. Hourly movers bill for every one of those waits; we plan around them inside one price.

    Marcus T. was moving a 14-desk office, pool table included, from a Tysons tower to a new suite in Reston, and both buildings had rules about when a truck could be there.

    • The challenge

      A four-hour dock window

      Tysons gave the crew 6 to 10 PM, no more.

      Dock window, Tysons
      6–10 PM
      Freight elevator
      Booked 6 PM
      Reston move-in
      After 7 AM

      The Tysons building allows move-outs only through the loading dock between 6 and 10 PM, with the freight elevator booked in advance. Reston would not let anything in before 7 AM. The whole move had to fit a four-hour load on Sunday evening and an early unload on Monday, with the truck holding everything overnight.

    • The challenge

      An 850-pound pool table

      It does not travel in one piece.

      Pool table
      850 lbs
      Pinball machine
      250 lbs
      Standing desks
      14

      The pool table weighs 850 pounds and does not travel in one piece, so it had to come apart in Tysons and go back together in Reston. So did all 14 adjustable-height desks, 1820 pounds of them. The 250-pound pinball machine was listed as bulky and packed by the crew, and all of it had to be down the freight elevator inside the window.

    • The challenge

      Everything unplugged by 6

      IT had to finish before the crew could start.

      IT shutdown
      5:30 PM
      Crew start
      6:00 PM
      Cables
      Bagged per desk

      The office's IT contractor needed the afternoon to shut down and unplug, so the crew could not start wrapping before 6. Every desk's cables went into a bag labeled with the desk number and stayed with that desk, so IT could rebuild each station in Reston without guessing.

    • The challenge

      A price that could not move

      A budget line, not a range.

      Budget
      Approved, fixed
      Hourly risk
      Dock delays
      Deposit
      $0

      The company had approved one number for the move. An hourly mover's quote depended on the dock, the elevator and the morning traffic to Reston, none of which the office controlled. They wanted the price before anything was unplugged.

    Everything in the office went on one list, and the office had its number before the first desk came apart.

      158 items, 71 boxes packed by the office.

      We listed the office line by line: 14 desks, 22 chairs, the conference table, the pool table, the pinball machine, the ping pong table, 14 rubber mats, two water dispensers, 6 large artificial plants with their stands and planters, the lounge and 71 boxes. The office packed those boxes itself, which kept packing labor and materials off the estimate. The dock window and the early move-in were planned around the same list.

      The crew blanket wrapped 45 pieces, from the desks and chairs to the pool table and the TV. The 14 desks and the pool table came apart in Tysons and went back together in Reston. Our crew packed the sofa, the glass coffee table, the TV over 75 inches and the pinball machine. Disassembly and reassembly of standard furniture is part of the flat rate.

      Loaded by 9:40, in by 7

      The truck held everything overnight.

      A crew of three cleared the Tysons dock at 9:40 PM on Sunday, twenty minutes inside the window. The sealed 26-foot truck spent the night at our warehouse and was at the Reston dock when it opened at 7 on Monday. Desks went down by the floor plan, each with its own bag of cables, and IT was rebuilding stations by 11.
