Moving an office in Dublin isn’t just about shifting desks and wheeling chairs down the hall. It’s about relocating people’s livelihoods, their daily routines, and (let’s be honest) that one employee’s collection of novelty coffee mugs.
Whether you’re a startup finally outgrowing the shared workspace or a well-established firm looking for a fresh view over Dublin’s skyline, one thing is certain—moving your office can be stressful.
But here’s the twist: it doesn’t have to be.
At Expert Removals, we’ve seen it all. Boardrooms packed with a decade’s worth of outdated IT equipment, filing cabinets heavier than a bad decision, and employees clutching their ergonomic chairs like they’re life vests on a sinking ship. Our job? To make your move seamless, fast, and, dare we say it, pleasant.
Why Do Office Moves Feel Like a Soap Opera?
The emotional side of moving is wildly underestimated. Office relocations are full of uncertainty—where’s my new desk? Will I still have a window? And, most importantly, who packed the communal biscuit tin?
- Employees worry about their new setup—Will they have enough space? Will their plants survive the trip?
- Managers stress over downtime—Every hour spent moving is an hour not spent making money.
- IT teams go pale at the thought of reconnecting servers—One wrong cable and it’s lights out.
But here’s the real kicker—most office moves fail before they even start. According to a survey by E.ON, 78% of business relocations experience unexpected delays, and 40% of companies say a poorly managed move impacts productivity for weeks.
That’s why a properly planned move isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’—it’s an absolute necessity.
How Much Does It Cost to Move an Office in Dublin?
Let’s talk numbers—because if you’re a business owner or facilities manager, that’s probably the first question on your mind.
Average Office Moving Costs in Dublin
| Office Size | Estimated Cost (€) | Estimated Downtime |
|---|---|---|
| Small Office (5-10 desks) | €1,500 – €2,500 | 1 day |
| Medium Office (10-50 desks) | €3,500 – €10,000 | 1-2 days |
| Large Office (50+ desks) | €10,000+ | 2-3 days |
What affects the price?
- Distance of the move (Across Dublin or cross-country?)
- Volume of furniture & equipment (Are we moving IKEA desks or mahogany boardroom tables?)
- Specialist services needed (IT relocation, archive storage, confidential document shredding)
- Accessibility of both locations (Is there a lift, or are we carrying furniture up a spiral staircase from hell?)
A badly planned move can cost a company up to 30% more in lost productivity alone. That’s why you need experts—not just any old “man with a van” service.
The 5 Biggest Office Moving Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)
1. Leaving Everything to the Last Minute
Moving day should never be the first time you think about logistics. Start planning at least 3 months in advance for small offices and 6+ months for large offices.
2. Not Decluttering First
Do you really need that printer from 2005? Probably not. 25% of office moves involve moving redundant furniture and equipment, which only adds to the cost.
3. Forgetting About IT & Connectivity
Servers, Wi-Fi, phone lines—if they’re not set up before the first Monday in the new office, expect a very quiet day (except for the sound of panic).
4. Not Labeling Boxes Properly
It’s all fun and games until you’re knee-deep in boxes, looking for the finance department’s files. Use clear, color-coded labels to keep things organised.
5. Underestimating the Emotional Side
Employees resist change. A good moving plan includes internal communication—keep staff in the loop, and make them feel involved. Maybe even let them pick their new desk spots (if you’re feeling generous).
