Planning a Government Office Move

A government office move has several decision makers. Your purchasing office authorizes the written scope and purchase order. Facilities decides which entrance, elevator, and loading area a moving crew may use. A department lead decides what stays operational, while the records lead decides which files may leave the floor. We ask for those decisions before setting a moving sequence.

Our part begins with the released inventory: service-counter furniture, staff workstations, freestanding file cabinets, records cartons prepared by your team, and meeting-room pieces. We label movable items with destination room codes supplied by the agency, then place them against the receiving floor plan. A sealed records carton stays closed; its label tells us where it goes, not what is inside. If a department needs its public counter or intake desks set first, that order goes into the load plan. See the property and institutional moving overview for related settings.

What typically moves

  • Public service-counter furniture Freestanding counter sections, queue dividers, and visitor chairs receive destination codes; attached millwork stays for facilities to assess.
  • Department workstations and pedestals Desks, chairs, and drawer units are marked by receiving room and seat so staff can find their assigned stations.
  • Freestanding records cabinets Your records lead clears or secures contents; we protect the cabinet faces and place each unit by the approved floor plan.
  • Agency-prepared records cartons Staff seal and identify cartons before release. We move them by destination code without opening or sorting their contents.
  • Meeting-room tables and lecterns Removable legs and hardware remain with each piece for setup in the assigned meeting room.
  • Permit and intake supply shelving Freestanding shelves and closed supply cartons are labeled by department so counters can be stocked in the order staff choose.

Access and scheduling

Send the purchasing contact a scope that separates furniture, packed records cartons, and any desk-level equipment the agency wants moved. We can provide inventory details and a written work description. The agency issues the purchase order and approves any change to that scope; our schedule follows its authorization.

Facilities supplies the practical entry rules: the crew name list, identification requirements, visitor badges, escorts, loading location, and any rooms that remain off limits. We plan arrival and cart routes around those rules and ask who can admit the crew at each site. A building may also require a freight elevator reservation or Certificate of Insurance. Public-facing counters often need an agency-selected closure or evening window, while back offices may have a different release time. We use the facility's approved window for each area.

Protection and handling

Before loading, the agency gives us a receiving map and tells us which department can be cleared first. We mark each released desk, cabinet, and carton with a destination code; changes follow the agency's revised map. Desk edges and cabinet faces are padded, loose parts are bagged with their furniture, and carts follow the route facilities has opened. At delivery, we place pieces by room code so the department lead can check the layout.

Records are a separate preparation task. Agency staff decide what may travel, seal the cartons, and retain their own identifying list. Our crew uses only the outside destination code for placement; staff handle any sorting, access decisions, and reopening. For desktop computers, monitors, and printers included in the scope, we can physically disconnect, pad, move, and reconnect them at labeled desks. Your IT contact handles network access, accounts, and testing. Fixed counter wiring or building electrical work belongs to the agency's licensed trade.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Records selection, carton contents, and release
Your records lead decides what travels, seals cartons, and keeps the identifying list. We transport released cartons by destination code and place them unopened.
Network service and desk equipment testing
Agency IT handles accounts, network connections, and testing. We can physically disconnect and reconnect released computers, monitors, and printers at desk level.
Building access and attached counter work
Facilities sets badge and escort rules; its fixture contractor or licensed trade handles attached counters and building connections. We move released freestanding pieces.

Not part of our work

  • Opening records cartons, choosing files for transfer, or deciding who may read them remains with agency staff.
  • Issuing badges, approving restricted-area entry, or changing building access rules remains with facilities.
  • Detaching built-in service counters or altering building wiring remains with the agency's contractor or licensed trade.

Around San Antonio and the Hill Country

A San Antonio agency office may use a downtown tower dock or a service entrance near Loop 410. The carry route depends on the building's approved dock and visitor path. For a move toward Boerne or Kerrville, the receiving office may use a different badge desk or entrance, so both facilities contacts need to confirm access.

Government Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (830) 329-7272.

What does purchasing need before our agency can schedule the move?

Ask your purchasing contact which scope format and authorization it requires. We can describe the movable inventory, origins, destinations, and requested service window for that review. The agency issues its purchase order and clears changes to the work. Once the authorized scope and building access dates match, we can set the move sequence with your facilities coordinator.

How should we arrange identification and visitor badges for the moving crew?

Give your facilities contact the planned crew arrival and ask what names, identification, sign-in steps, and escorts it requires. We can provide the crew details it requests before the visit. Facilities decides where the crew may enter and which areas are released. If the receiving office uses another badge desk, arrange that handoff as part of the access plan.

Can our records cartons travel without the crew seeing their contents?

Yes. Your records staff choose the files, close and seal the cartons, and keep any detailed list within the agency. We need an outside destination code and a placement map, not a contents description. Our crew moves the released cartons unopened and puts them in the rooms your lead assigns. Agency staff handle access and unpacking afterward.

Who decides which public counter is set up first at the new office?

Your department lead sets the opening order and marks it on the receiving plan. We can load the freestanding counter furniture, seating, and intake supplies to match that sequence. Facilities confirms when the new area is available, and IT and the agency's fixture contractor handle their own setup work. The department checks the counter layout before it resumes service.
