We understand that every minute of disruption means lost productivity, so our services are designed around one promise — to make your business move as seamless as possible.
What Is Commercial Relocation and Why Businesses Need Professionals
Commercial relocation is more than shifting desks and chairs. It involves relocating sensitive equipment, confidential files, IT systems, and large office furniture — all while ensuring your operations resume quickly at the new location.
Many businesses underestimate how complex the process can be. From disassembling office setups to coordinating with building management and handling data servers, professional expertise is essential.
At Al Fannan Movers and Packers, we specialize in end-to-end corporate moving solutions across Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Whether it’s a small office, a multi-floor corporate building, or a full-scale commercial facility, our team manages every detail with precision.

How We Handle a Corporate Relocation
A well-executed relocation follows a structured plan. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1: Consultation and Planning
Our specialists visit your site to assess requirements, space dimensions, and timelines. A customized relocation plan is then drafted with clear milestones and communication channels.
Step 2: Packing and Labeling
We use premium-grade materials — double-layered cartons, bubble wraps, wooden crates — and assign color-coded labels to each department or zone for easy re-installation.
Step 3: Disassembly and Equipment Handling
Our technicians handle workstation disassembly, IT cabling, printers, and electronics carefully. Servers and computers are packed using anti-static materials to prevent damage.
Step 4: Secure Transportation
Fleet trucks designed for corporate moves ensure furniture and equipment remain safe, vibration-free, and moisture-protected. All vehicles are GPS-tracked for transparency.
Step 5: Re-installation and Setup
At the new location, our team reassembles furniture, reconnects systems, and sets up each department as per the floor plan — ensuring your staff can resume work immediately.
