Every workplace has its own tools, rhythms, and operational needs. When it’s time to relocate, those unique details matter. A medical clinic doesn’t operate like an engineering firm. A creative studio has equipment you won’t find in a law office. And industrial spaces come with challenges that go far beyond standard desks and chairs.
That’s why DLO Move Support Services’ approach to commercial moves is intentionally adaptable. We work closely with Vancouver businesses across a wide range of industries, shaping each relocation plan around the equipment, environments, and workflows that keep that workplace running. Here is a look behind the scenes at how we support specialized moves across the region.
1. Healthcare & Medical Clinics
Healthcare environments rely on equipment that is both valuable and highly sensitive. Dental chairs, imaging systems, diagnostic devices, and refrigeration units all need to be moved with extreme care. Even the layout of each room is deliberate; equipment often needs to be returned to precise configurations for the space to function safely and efficiently.
To support these moves, we plan carefully around patient schedules, equipment requirements, and sensitive materials. This often includes:
- Protecting and transporting high-value medical equipment,
- Coordinating the move of refrigerated or temperature-sensitive items
- Organizing room layouts so that equipment is placed correctly at the destination
- Communicating with licensed professionals when needed for specialty equipment.
Our Move Coordinators work closely with clinic staff throughout the process, ensuring exam rooms, treatment areas, and administrative spaces are ready to reopen without unnecessary downtime.
2. Creative, Technical & Professional Studios
Architecture firms, engineering companies, photographers, and creative studios often rely on tools that are large, fragile, or highly specialized. These spaces may include equipment such as:
- Large-format printers and plotters
- Drafting tables and layout surfaces
- Photography and studio lighting systems
- Audio or video production equipment
Many of these items are both heavy and delicate. Too awkward for a standard moving crew and too valuable to risk improper handling. Our team uses the right combination of protective packing techniques, specialty carts, and experienced crews who understand how to maneuver oversized equipment safely through hallways, elevators, and tight studio spaces. When certifications or equipment-specific training are required for transportation, we take care of coordinating with contractors, keeping the logistics and back and forth off your plate.
To further reduce disruption, we also offer zero downtime “Packless Moves”, handling the packing and unpacking of contents, disconnecting and reconnecting computers and equipment, and installing furniture so creative teams can stay focused on their work rather than the logistics of a move.
We take time to understand how each environment functions so we can tailor our move plan accordingly. Instead of simply relocating equipment, we help studios reopen with a sense of order and continuity. This ensures tools are protected, spaces are organized, and teams can return to creative work without unnecessary delays.
3. Corporate Offices With Sensitive Or Confidential Materials
For workplaces built around secure information, moving is both a logistical task and a matter of trust. Law firms may need to transport large volumes of confidential files, finance and insurance teams often rely on secure storage and server setups, and government offices handle material that must remain organized and accounted for at every step.
We bring structure and consistency to these moves by creating clear systems for handling sensitive items. Files stay organized, locked cabinets remain secure, and equipment arrives exactly where it needs to be. The result is a move that protects confidentiality and minimizes disruption during periods when operational continuity is especially important.
4. Industrial & Light Manufacturing Offices
Industrial and manufacturing spaces often combine office areas with equipment or storage that requires extra planning. Teams may need to move oversized or awkward tools, coordinate with third-party technicians, or protect floors and loading areas that see heavy use. Timelines are also more sensitive, with even small delays affecting production schedules.
Some environments also involve materials or equipment that must be handled by certified professionals. Certain hazardous materials require specific training and certification to transport safely, and leased machinery such as photocopy equipment must often be moved by the vendor themselves. The right office mover knows when to bring in specialized contractors and can help arrange these services as part of the overall move coordination.
Our crews are experienced in navigating these environments safely and efficiently. We work alongside on-site teams and external vendors when needed, ensuring heavy items are handled correctly and the transition happens without extended shutdowns. Careful sequencing and practical planning help businesses maintain momentum through the move.
5. Education & Training Centres
Schools, tutoring centres, and specialized training facilities often relocate during tight windows, usually between semesters or outside instructional hours. These spaces also depend on highly organized setups, from computer labs to multi-room learning environments, all of which need to be rebuilt accurately and efficiently.
To keep the move running smoothly, we provide tailored support such as:
- Coordinating schedules around instructional hours and academic breaks
- Rebuilding classrooms and training rooms to match existing layouts
- Handling and reinstalling AV and computer equipment
- Organizing learning materials so they’re easy to unpack and put back into use
This coordinated approach helps educational spaces reopen quickly, with minimal disruption to instructors and students.
