Planning a Base-Adjacent Office Move

Plenty of work around Naval Station Mayport and NAS Jacksonville happens in ordinary office space outside the gates: engineering and logistics contractors, program offices, staffing firms, and training companies in the business parks nearby. When one of those offices moves, the Navy isn’t part of the plan. The landlord sets the loading door and the hours, your company decides what moves, and the whole job happens in a commercial building off the installation.

What makes these moves different is inside the suite. Many contractor offices keep documents or equipment their contract says must be controlled, and some have a room only certain employees may enter. None of that goes on our list. Your facility security officer empties or locks that room, carries or ships anything controlled under the company’s own procedures, and tells us which doors are open to the crew. We then move what’s left, which looks like any office: proposal and conference rooms, workstations, the program manager’s office, supply rooms, and a break room. A new contract or a recompete often sets the date.

Who usually signs off: Office administrator or facilities lead who approves the inventory and coordinates with the building manager and company security officer
Timing that works: Set by a contract start, a recompete, or a lease date; evenings or a weekend if staff can’t lose a workday

What typically moves

Proposal and conference-room furniture Long tables, credenzas, and whiteboards wrapped and set to the new room plan; wall screens come down by your IT provider first.
Engineering and analyst workstations Desks tagged to seats; our crew unplugs the computer, docking station, and monitors at each desk, pads them, and reconnects them at the new seat.
Program and site managers’ offices Desks, bookcases, and personal boxes labeled by name, ready before that person’s first morning in the new suite.
Training-room tables and chairs Flip-top tables and stack chairs counted by room, so a scheduled class can run the week after the move.
Supply rooms and binder shelving Unrestricted manuals, binders, and supplies boxed by shelf, once your security officer has confirmed nothing controlled is inside.
Break room and reception Reception desk, lobby chairs, and an emptied fridge moved last out of the old suite and first into the new.

Access and scheduling

The building is the only site we visit, and the property manager writes its rules: where the truck parks in the surface lot, which door we load through, any lift, and move hours around neighboring tenants. Some parks near the bases keep a visitor sign-in at the front desk, and we follow it. Business parks here are mostly one- and two-story buildings, so the carry is usually a short run across a lot rather than a freight elevator.

Walk the suite with us and your security officer together. We mark which rooms the crew may enter and which stay closed until the officer releases them. If staff can’t lose a workday before a contract deadline, we can move on an evening or a weekend. From June through November a storm can close a park for a day or two, so we agree on a second date early.

Protection and handling

Your security plan is the frame for ours. Our crew stays out of any room the officer hasn’t released, doesn’t open locked cabinets or sealed containers, and if a marked document turns up in a drawer, we leave it where it is, unread, and call your designated contact. If a cabinet has to travel locked, your staff keep the key, and we note its tag number on the load list so your officer can check it off at the new suite.

For the rest, the risks are ordinary: finishes, floors, and heat. Door frames and hallway corners get padding, and laminate worksurfaces travel wrapped flat. On a July afternoon a closed truck in a Mayport or Westside lot gets very hot, so computers and monitors are loaded last and come off first, with the truck doors kept shut between trips.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Controlled documents, equipment, and closed rooms: Your facility security officer secures, carries, or ships them under company procedures and releases each room to the crew.
Building rules, visitor sign-in, and parking: The business park’s property manager; we plan the carry inside those rules.
Phone lines, internet, and mounted displays: Your IT provider or cabling contractor handles service and takes screens off the wall; we move the desk hardware.

Not part of our work

Any work inside Naval Station Mayport, NAS Jacksonville, or another installation.
Handling controlled or marked material, or entering a room your security officer hasn’t released.
Military household moves, which are a residential job and not part of this service.

Base-Adjacent Office Moving FAQs

Another question? Call (904) 209-9277.

Our suite is near Mayport. Whose visitor instructions does the moving crew follow?

The building’s. The property manager sets sign-in, parking, and move hours for the business park, and we follow them. A privately managed building outside the gates runs on its own landlord’s rules, and the move stays inside that building. If your company adds its own visitor log for the suite, we sign it too.

We have a room only certain employees may enter. How do you work around it?

We don’t enter it until your security officer says so. The officer empties or locks the room, moves anything controlled under your procedures, and then releases the furniture to us. Until then we treat the door as a wall and plan the rest of the suite around it.

Our contract start date is fixed. Can the move happen around it?

Yes. Tell us the date staff must be working in the new suite, and we plan backward from it: packing during the prior week, the move on a weekend or evening, and IT on site the next morning. We hold a second date in storm season in case the park closes.

Can you also move our employees’ households?

Household moves for employees or military families are a residential job, booked and planned separately from the office. This service covers the contractor or admin office only. If you are relocating staff at the same time, keep the two schedules apart so office furniture and household goods don’t end up on one truck.
