Office moves in Al Hamra are a different job
Al Hamra sits in central Jeddah on the waterfront and mixes homes with a lot of commercial activity: office buildings, company headquarters, hotels and showrooms along main roads such as Palestine Street and the Corniche, plus a number of diplomatic missions. Moving an office here is not like moving a flat. Buildings have security desks, booked service-lift slots and loading rules, and every hour your team cannot work has a cost.
That is why every Al Hamra office move we plan starts with the building rules at both ends, not with the number of trucks.
What we move
- Staff desks and open-plan workstations with their partitions.
- Task chairs and reception seating.
- Meeting and boardroom tables, including wood and glass tops.
- Steel cabinets, filing cabinets and paper archives.
- Executive desks and manager office furniture.
- Computers, monitors and printers once disconnected by your IT team.
- Reception furniture, artwork and decor.
Our process, from inventory to day one
- Survey or photos of the current office and the new floor plan if available.
- Written inventory of every item and what needs dismantling.
- Labelling scheme: a code per department and per desk that matches the new layout.
- Scheduling, usually the evening of the last working day or the weekend.
- Move day: building protection, disassembly, wrapping and loading by department.
- Setup: every item placed at its coded position and reassembled.
- Handover walk-through with your office manager.
WhatsApp us your desk count and photos of the current office, and we will reply with a plan and a suggested date.
Working with building management
Many office buildings in Al Hamra ask for notice before a move, assign a service lift and set hours for using it, and may require corridor and lift protection. We help you prepare the details management usually wants: the date and time, crew size, truck type and where it will park.
We check the rules at the destination building too. A truck arriving at a building that does not allow unloading at that hour means hours of waiting. Sorting this out in advance is what lets most small and mid-size offices move in a single night.
Timing around Al Hamra traffic
Palestine Street and the roads around the Corniche get busy at rush hour, in the evenings and at weekends because of restaurants, hotels and the seafront. We time loading so the truck stands outside your building during the quietest window, which often means an early weekend start or a late evening after office hours. For longer distances we split the load across trips or trucks so key departments can be set up first.
Workstation and furniture disassembly
Open-plan workstations, partitions and large meeting tables rarely fit through doors and lifts in one piece. We dismantle them, label each part and bag the hardware with the same code. Boardroom table tops are separated from their bases, wrapped in several layers and carried upright. Steel cabinets are emptied or their contents secured, and drawers locked before lifting. At the new office everything is rebuilt to plan and checked for stability, working drawers and locks.
Archives and confidential files
Client files, contracts and financial records need care. We supply sturdy archive boxes, number each one by cabinet and shelf, and can seal them in front of your staff. Our crew does not open or read files, and boxes stay grouped by department so they go back onto shelves in the same order. Archives you rarely use can go straight into short-term storage rather than taking up space in the new office.
Need archives moved securely and in order? Call us to arrange the inventory.
Computers and electronics
- Your IT team backs up and disconnects equipment.
- Monitors are wrapped and moved upright.
- Each workstation's cables go into a bag marked with the desk code.
- Large printers are moved with moving parts secured according to the manufacturer.
- Servers and network gear are handled together with your technician.
Typical timeline
| Stage | Small office | Mid-size office |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory and planning | Days before | A week or more before |
| Packing archives and personal desks | Last working day | Over two days |
| Disassembly and loading | Evening | Evening or weekend morning |
| Setup | Same night | Over the weekend |
| Back to work | Next day | First working day after |
This is a guide only; actual timing depends on office size and both buildings' rules.
Protecting the building
Office lobbies in Al Hamra often have marble floors and shared corridors with other tenants still working. We lay floor protection from your door to the lift, pad the lift interior, and fit corner guards on columns and frames where long tables pass. We keep shared corridors clear of cartons so emergency exits stay open, and remove all protection afterwards.
Example: a ten-person office
Imagine an Al Hamra office with ten staff desks, a manager's office, a meeting table, three filing cabinets and a reception area. Before the move we take an inventory and photos, and every employee gets two cartons and labels with their desk code. On the last working day the archive is sealed in numbered boxes. On Thursday evening, for example, the crew arrives, protects the corridors, dismantles desks and the meeting table and loads by department. By the end of the weekend every desk is in place and every carton is next to its owner.
What drives the cost
- Number of desks and chairs and the volume of archives.
- How much furniture needs disassembly and reassembly.
- Floor level, service lift and parking distance.
- Evening or weekend timing.
- Distance to the new office and number of trips.
- Short-term storage or extra packing materials.
You receive a written quote after the inventory showing crew, trucks and scope, so there are no surprise extras on the day.

How your team can prepare
- Name one person as our point of contact.
- Share the new floor plan with desk codes with all staff.
- Ask staff to pack personal drawers into small labelled cartons.
- Dispose of furniture and files you no longer need before the inventory.
- Back up and disconnect equipment.
- Notify management at both buildings.
Clinics and small private offices
Alongside companies, Al Hamra has small private offices, clinics and service businesses that cannot close for more than a day and often hold sensitive items such as patient or client files. We apply the same labelling and confidentiality rules and, where needed, move in two phases: essential areas first, the rest later.
Furniture you may not want to move
An office move is a good moment to decide what is worth taking. Broken chairs, worn-out desks and archives past their retention period take up truck space and floor space at the new office, and they add to the cost. We suggest marking anything you plan to leave behind before the inventory so it is not counted in crew size or trips. If the new office is partly furnished, we compare its existing furniture list with yours to avoid moving duplicates that will have nowhere to go.
Communication on move day
Our crew supervisor stays in direct contact with your point person throughout: when loading starts, when the truck leaves and when it arrives at the new building. If something unexpected comes up, such as a lift out of service or a table that will not pass a door, the supervisor calls you with the options instead of making the decision alone. Management stays informed without needing several employees on site after hours.
Common office-move mistakes
- No desk coding against the new plan, so staff spend day one searching.
- Monitors moved unwrapped or flat under other items.
- No service-lift booking, leaving the truck waiting for hours.
- All cables thrown into one box.
- Moving old archives nobody needs.
After the move
In the first days some staff may want a desk adjusted or a cabinet moved. That is normal. We suggest collecting all notes in one list during the first week so anything related to furniture we dismantled can be handled in a single organised visit.
