Office moves don’t stop for rain, early sunsets, or year-end deadlines, and that’s when experience matters most. As Vancouver’s weather turns colder and wetter, the logistics of moving a business become more complex. From coordinating elevator access and dock time to protecting sensitive IT equipment in damp conditions, a smooth transition requires more than careful packing. It calls for planning, precision, and a team that understands the unique challenges of relocating a workplace.
That’s where DLO Move Support Services comes in. With decades of experience supporting commercial relocations across the Lower Mainland, our team of specialists brings deep knowledge of how to plan, coordinate, and execute moves that keep businesses running, even through Vancouver’s rainiest months.
Navigating Fall and Winter Moves with Confidence
Anyone who’s lived through a Vancouver fall knows that weather conditions can change quickly. Slick loading bays, limited daylight, and crowded building schedules all make timing and coordination essential. DLO Move Support Services’ commercial moving team plans for these seasonal factors long before move day arrives.
From conducting detailed site visits to mapping out elevator access and safe walkways, our coordinators ensure every step is covered. Extra attention is given to protective floor coverings, equipment shielding, and clear communication with property management to prevent weather-related delays.
We also offer after-hours and weekend moves to help clients minimize disruption during regular business hours. This is an essential option for organizations that rely on uninterrupted operations. These flexible schedules, combined with the team’s ability to work efficiently in complex downtown environments, make us a trusted partner for moves that demand precision under pressure.
Expertise Built for the Workplace
Office relocations involve layers of complexity that go far beyond moving household items. Commercial spaces often span multiple floors, have limited access points, or contain highly specialized equipment. Our move teams are trained specifically for these environments, and they’re equipped with the tools, techniques, and experience to handle every detail safely and efficiently.
Their expertise extends to:
- Logistics and Coordination: Managing elevator bookings, building access, and vendor schedules in alignment with property management requirements.
- Confidentiality and Security: Ensuring sensitive files and data remain secure throughout the move.
- Furniture and Equipment Handling: Disassembling, moving, and reinstalling desks, systems furniture, and office equipment with care and accuracy.
- In-House Storage Solutions: Providing more than 25,000 square feet of secure warehouse space for short-term or staged storage between move phases.
This level of detail is what distinguishes a professional office move. Every task from planning to placement is designed to minimize disruption and maintain business continuity.
The IT Move Division: Keeping Businesses Connected
Technology is the backbone of most workplaces, which means an office move can’t just focus on furniture and files. Every device, cable, and server connection matters, and downtime can be costly.
That’s why we operate a dedicated IT Move Division, led by Rick Demarse, who is one of our Move Managers and has been part of the company for more than 20 years. Rick and his team handle the full disconnection, transport, and reconnection of computers, servers, and network systems with precision and care.
Rick also developed our Packless Move system, a specialized method that allows workstations to be relocated and reinstalled exactly as they were in the previous space, right down to the keyboard placement. The result is a move that feels seamless for employees, helping teams return to work quickly without confusion or downtime. Rick and his crew make sure that when your staff sit down on the Monday morning after a move, everything works exactly as it did on Friday.
Professional Coordination That Keeps You Moving
Behind every smooth relocation is DLO Move Support Services’ team of Move Coordinators, specialists who plan timelines, oversee communication, and make sure each stage happens exactly when it should. They liaise directly with property managers to schedule elevators, manage dock access, and verify building requirements well in advance.
By the time move day arrives, every detail is mapped out. Our Move Coordinators remain on-site to manage progress and problem-solve in real time, ensuring your relocation stays on track from start to finish. It’s this level of proactive management that allows our clients to relocate with confidence, even in the middle of a busy or unpredictable season.
