Why Boston Companies Choose McLaughlin
Boston office moves present challenges that don’t exist in suburban markets. Loading zones require permits. Buildings have narrow stairwells and historic freight elevators. Parking is a nightmare. And your lease doesn’t care about any of it—you need to be out by a specific date and operational in your new space immediately.
We’ve managed commercial moves throughout Boston’s neighborhoods, from Financial District high-rises to Cambridge tech corridors. Our teams understand the permitting requirements for different municipalities, the building access procedures for major commercial properties, and the timing needed to complete moves in Boston’s congested urban environment.
As a Mayflower agent, we bring the infrastructure of a national moving network with the local expertise of a New Hampshire-based company. Your move gets a dedicated project manager who coordinates with building management, secures necessary permits, and ensures crews arrive with equipment appropriate for your specific location.
How we handle Boston’s unique challenges:
- Advance coordination with building management for elevator reservations and loading dock access
- City permit acquisition for street parking and loading zones
- Specialized equipment for buildings without freight elevators
- Crews experienced with Boston’s traffic patterns and parking restrictions
- Contingency planning for weather and unexpected delays
Full-Spectrum Commercial Moving Solutions
Corporate Office Relocations We move entire offices—workstations, private offices, conference rooms, break rooms, and reception areas. Our crews disassemble modular furniture systems, transport them safely, and reassemble everything according to your new floor plan.
Technology & Server Moves IT equipment demands specialized handling. We pack computers, monitors, and peripherals with anti-static materials and coordinate server moves with your IT department to maintain data integrity and minimize network downtime.
Laboratory & Medical Equipment Sensitive scientific instruments and medical devices require climate-controlled transport and careful handling. Our teams follow manufacturer specifications for equipment that can’t tolerate standard moving conditions.
