Moving Offices in Melbourne

• Moving a 140-square meter office can cost between $800-$5,000, depending on how much furniture, equipment and other objects are being moved. A law office with lots of paper, file cabinets, and modular units that need to be disassembled will be at the higher end of the scale. A mostly digital company with little furniture will be much less.
• Packing and moving a 280 square meter office averages $1,600 to $8,500 for spaces with lots of files and furniture.
• A very large, 950 square-meter office starts at around $4,700 and can cost as much as $30,000 for companies with a large number of employees with workstations that have to be moved.
