Frequently Asked Questions
Answers To Your Questions.
The questions we hear most before a move starts, and the answers you and your team are looking for.
About The Company
6 QuestionsHow long has Move Solutions been in business and is commercial moving your only focus?
Move Solutions has been providing commercial moving services since 1987 with zero layoffs in over 40+ years of operation. Commercial office and industrial moving is our entire focus. Every employee, every truck, and every piece of equipment we own exists to serve that singular purpose.
We are part of the Total Office Solutions family of companies, which gives our clients access to furniture, technology, decommissioning, and facilities services under one accountable partner when a project needs more than just the move.
How many people do you employ and are they all W-2 employees?
We support more than 400 families and operate with 275+ full-time W-2 trained professionals. We do not use day-labor staffing agencies or subcontract site crews to third parties. The crew that shows up on your move day has been background-checked, drug-screened, and trained to our standards before they ever set foot on a client site.
We also own the largest quantity of company-owned office-moving equipment in the Southwest, which means we do not rent equipment on the fly or improvise on large projects.
Is Move Solutions a woman-owned or minority-owned business?
Yes. Move Solutions is 51% woman-owned and 48% veteran-owned. We hold the following certifications:
- WBENC (Woman’s Business Enterprise National Council)
- NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners)
- Texas HUB (Historically Underutilized Business)
- GSA (General Services Administration Schedule)
- TXMAS (Texas Multiple Award Schedule)
Companies and agencies with diversity supplier requirements can use our contracts toward their reporting goals.
Are you part of a larger organization?
Yes. Move Solutions is a member of the Total Office Solutions (TOS) family of brands, which includes Office Furniture Plus, TechTeam Solutions, Office Boy, Corporate Source, Paint & Carpet, and others. When a project involves furniture, IT relocation, decommissioning, or ongoing facility support, we coordinate those services through TOS so you have one point of accountability.
We are also a member of the Office Moving Alliance (OMA), a nationwide network of 45 member companies operating across 228 markets with more than 15,000 movers, which allows us to serve multi-city and national accounts consistently.
What sets Move Solutions apart from other commercial movers?
Three things are meaningfully different about how we operate:
- Process-driven execution. We run every project through BrassTacks, our proprietary technology platform that creates, tracks, and reports all project data in real time. You see what we see, when we see it.
- Employee-based crews. Our people are W-2 employees, not contract day labor. That means consistent training, accountability, and a crew that takes ownership of your project from first contact to final punch list.
- Scale and equipment. We own 40+ air ride cargo trucks, 150,000 RFID-tracked reusable crates, 2,500 four-wheel dollies, and 8 forklifts. We are not improvising.
Do you work with non-profits or community organizations?
Yes. We partner with 25+ charitable causes and nonprofits across North Texas, including serving as the lead organizer for the Toys for Tots drive across all TOS companies. If your organization has a move need and a tight budget, reach out. We will be honest about what we can offer and point you to the right contact if we cannot take it on directly.
Government & Contracts
5 QuestionsWhat contract vehicles can government buyers use to engage Move Solutions?
We hold several vehicles that allow federal, state, and local buyers to work with us without a separate bid process:
- GSA Schedule for federal agencies
- TXMAS (Texas Multiple Award Schedule) for Texas state and local entities
- Texas HUB certification for diversity supplier credit
- WBENC certification for federal and corporate diversity requirements
If you do not see the vehicle your agency requires, ask. We may have it or be able to route the engagement through a partner.
Do you work with military installations and Department of Defense facilities?
Yes. We have experience moving offices, common areas, and equipment on military installations. Our crews can follow facility security protocols, work within base access requirements, and accommodate escort policies for restricted areas. Contact us with your facility requirements before the project begins and we will confirm compatibility.
Are you SAM.gov registered and do you hold a CAGE code?
Yes. We are SAM.gov registered and maintain a current CAGE code. We hold active certifications for WBENC, Texas HUB, GSA, and TXMAS. We can provide all required documentation as part of any bid response or solicitation. If your agency requires a specific certification we do not hold, we will tell you and may team with a partner who does.
Can you handle a government project with a tight delivery window or fiscal year deadline?
Yes, depending on scope and available scheduling. We understand that fiscal year deadlines are real and non-negotiable. Tell us the hard deadline upfront and we will be direct about whether we can meet it. We will not promise a completion date we cannot deliver. For projects requiring rapid mobilization, our OMA network can supplement our local capacity.
Do you partner with prime contractors on government opportunities?
Yes. We frequently subcontract to prime contractors on federal and state projects, particularly where our WBENC or HUB status helps meet small business or diversity participation goals. If you are a prime contractor looking for a qualified moving subcontractor for a Texas-based project, contact us with the solicitation details and we will respond with qualifications and pricing.
Insurance & Documents
5 QuestionsWhat types of insurance does Move Solutions carry?
We carry the following types of coverage and provide ACCORD Form 25 documentation before any project begins:
- Texas “Subscription” Workers Compensation for all employees
- General Liability
- Cargo / Transportation Coverage
- Auto Liability
Our limits meet or exceed standard commercial requirements for access to office buildings, government facilities, and institutional sites.
What does Texas “Subscription” Workers Compensation mean for me as a client?
Texas “Subscription” Workers Compensation provides you with the full legal defenses available under Texas statute. This is important because alternative workers compensation programs, sometimes offered by non-subscribing companies, strip you of those statutory defenses when their crews are on your property. When Move Solutions crews are on your site, you are protected under the strongest available legal framework.
Can you provide a Certificate of Insurance for our building or property manager?
Yes. We provide COIs to the specifications required by your building, property manager, or accounts payable team. Contact your Move Solutions account manager or call 1.800.668.3752 with the requirements. We typically turn a COI request around within one business day.
Can I get a W-9 on file from you?
Yes. Our current W-9 is available on request. Email or call us and we will send it directly to your accounts payable team. If your finance department requires a specific format or attestation, let us know what they need and we will provide it.
Are your crews background-checked and can you work in secure facilities?
Yes. All W-2 crew members are background-checked and drug-screened before their first day and are subject to random drug testing throughout employment. For projects in secure facilities, government installations, healthcare sites, or financial services environments, we can provide crew documentation and coordinate access requirements in advance. Let us know your facility protocols before the project is scheduled.
Payment & Billing
5 QuestionsWhat payment methods and terms do you offer?
We accept checks, ACH bank transfers, wire transfers, and major credit cards. For established commercial clients, we extend Net-30 terms after a credit application is approved. Payment terms are customized per project and detailed transparently in your proposal and invoice through BrassTacks. Call 1.800.668.3752 to discuss terms for a specific project.
Do you require a deposit before starting a project?
For new clients without an established credit history, we typically request a deposit before the project begins, with the balance due on or before completion. For approved net-terms clients, full payment is scheduled against the invoice. We are transparent about the deposit structure before you commit to anything.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. We accept purchase orders for qualified commercial accounts, government entities, and institutions. If your organization requires a PO prior to scheduling, provide it during the project setup phase and we will reference it on all billing documents. For government purchases against a contract vehicle (GSA, TXMAS, BuyBoard), include the contract number with your PO.
How do I pay an invoice that has already been sent?
The fastest way is through our BrassTacks client portal, which is linked directly on your invoice. You can pay by ACH or credit card there. If you prefer to mail a check or wire, remittance details are included on the invoice. If you have a question about an invoice, contact your dedicated account manager or call 1.800.668.3752.
What happens if my project scope changes after we agree on pricing?
Changes in scope are managed through a change order process in BrassTacks. Any pricing adjustment is documented, priced transparently, and requires your approval before we execute. We do not add undisclosed charges after the fact. If scope changes on the day of the move, our project manager will flag it with you before proceeding.
Process & Logistics
7 QuestionsHow do I start a project with Move Solutions?
The fastest way is to call 1.800.668.3752 or request a quote through our website. You can also book a meeting directly with someone on our team. The first step is always the same: a short conversation to understand your scope, your timeline, and any building or site constraints. From there we will schedule a pre-move survey if needed and turn around a proposal.
Do you do pre-move surveys and project timelines?
Yes. We conduct detailed pre-move surveys, either in person or via video call for remote or multi-city projects. The survey is free and it is how we catch things that matter for the quote: access constraints, elevator size, dock availability, building rules, and items that need special handling. Every project also includes a detailed timeline with milestones, coordination points, and completion dates tracked through our BrassTacks platform.
How far in advance should I book my move?
We recommend 4 to 6 weeks for large projects. For urgent situations, call us immediately at 1.800.668.3752 and we will tell you honestly whether we can accommodate the timeline. Our busiest periods are end-of-quarter months (March, June, September, December) due to lease cycles, so the earlier you engage, the more scheduling flexibility you have.
What site protections do you put in place on move day?
Site protection is standard on every project. We provide floor runners, wall padding, corner guards, door jamb protectors, elevator pads, and equipment with non-marking wheels. Our project managers also coordinate with building engineers ahead of the move for HVAC shutdown windows, power requirements, loading dock reservations, and elevator holds to ensure nothing in the building is at risk during execution.
What is your damage claim rate?
Our damage claim rate is less than 1%. We achieve this through RFID-tracked reusable crates, specialized protection protocols on every move, experienced W-2 crews, OSHA-certified quality control managers who audit every job site, and detailed work orders verified after every project. In the rare event damage occurs, we have comprehensive insurance and an established claims process to address it immediately.
What are your reusable crates and why do you use them instead of cardboard?
We maintain a fleet of 150,000 RFID-tracked Stack-N-Pack No-Lift Crates. These are crush-proof, lockable, stackable reusable containers that replace single-use cardboard on every move we run. One crate serves hundreds of projects over its lifetime. They protect assets better than cardboard, reduce landfill waste substantially, and make moves more efficient because they stack uniformly in our trucks. We pick them back up after you unpack, clean them, and return them to rotation.
Do you provide post-move support once installation is done?
Yes. We offer post-move verification, punch list completion, and ongoing MAC support after your project closes. If something shifts, a piece needs adjustment, or a department needs to move three months later, we keep your project records and floor plans on file so the next round goes faster. Our Office Boy division also provides same-day assistance for smaller tasks that come up between larger projects.

If business continuity matters to your project, after-hours scheduling is often the right call.
What is MAC service and do you offer embedded crews?
MAC stands for Moves, Adds, and Changes. It is ongoing workplace support for internal relocations, workstation reconfigurations, department changes, and equipment adds that happen after your initial move is complete.
Yes, we provide dedicated embedded teams that work at your location on an ongoing basis for facilities and MAC support. We also offer same-day assistance for small tasks through our Office Boy division with no minimums and no advance notice required.
Do you coordinate technology relocation and IT equipment?
Yes. TechTeam Solutions, our technology division, handles PC disconnect and reconnect, server relocation, network cabling installation and removal, A/V setup, and IT equipment inventory management. TechTeam also provides R2-certified electronics recycling, secure hard drive destruction, and NAID AAA certified shredding with certificates of destruction.
Can you handle facility decommissioning when we leave a space?
Yes. We provide complete decommissioning services to return your lease space to landlord-compliant condition. That includes furniture liquidation and removal, low-voltage cabling removal (plenum removal), electronics and e-waste recycling, secure shredding, and final cleanup. We coordinate directly with your property manager to make sure all requirements are met before you hand back the keys.
Can you move multiple locations or handle a national rollout?
Yes. Through the Office Moving Alliance we serve clients nationally and internationally across 228 markets. We assign a single point of contact at Move Solutions and coordinate all partner markets through our OMA network, so your experience and standards stay consistent regardless of where the project lands.
What types of specialized environments can you handle?
We have experience across a wide range of environments beyond standard office moves, including:
- Data centers and server room relocations with specialized climate and security protocols
- Healthcare and medical offices with HIPAA-aware chain of custody

- Manufacturing and industrial relocations with heavy equipment
Technology & Tracking
4 QuestionsWhat is BrassTacks and how does it benefit my project?
BrassTacks is Move Solutions’ proprietary project management platform. It is cyber-secure, mobile, and real-time — if we know something about your project, you know it too. BrassTacks handles proposals, work orders, scheduling, crew assignments, inventory tracking, completion reports, and job-site photos in one place.
For clients, this means no information gaps between the office and the crew. You have access to the same data we do, from any device, at any time during your project.
How do you track furniture and assets during a move?
Our 150,000-crate RFID system tracks every crate from your origin space through transit to your destination. For asset-intensive projects, we also provide barcode or RFID tagging of individual furniture pieces, equipment, and IT assets with online client portal access so your team can see where everything is in real time.
Can I see project updates in real time or do I have to wait for a report?
You do not have to wait. BrassTacks gives you real-time access to project data, scheduling, and status updates. Job-site photos are uploaded as they are taken. For national or multi-market projects, you see progress across all locations from a single dashboard, which is particularly useful for facilities managers overseeing simultaneous rollouts.
Do your trucks have GPS tracking?
Yes. Our fleet of 40+ air ride cargo trucks uses GPS tracking. For time-sensitive deliveries or projects where a building has specific arrival windows, our dispatch team uses live fleet data to coordinate access and communicate ETAs to your building manager proactively.
