Frequently Asked Questions About Moving in SoMa
Common questions from SoMa businesses planning an office relocation.
Ontrack Moving is a top choice for SoMa commercial moves, with extensive experience relocating tech startups, creative agencies, and coworking spaces throughout South of Market. We understand the unique challenges of converted warehouse offices, mixed-use buildings, and the fast-paced needs of growing companies. Licensed USDOT #2551548.
SoMa's converted warehouse and loft offices present unique challenges: open floor plans, exposed ductwork, freight elevators with limited hours, and sometimes street-level loading only. We assess each building's access requirements, coordinate with property management, and bring the right equipment for industrial-style spaces. Our crews are experienced with the older freight elevators and building quirks common in historic SoMa structures.
Yes. We understand that startups often need to scale up or down quickly. Lease changes, funding rounds, and rapid growth can all trigger sudden moves. While 2-4 weeks notice is ideal for building coordination and COI processing, we can accommodate rush moves with 1 week or less lead time depending on availability. Contact us to discuss your timeline.
Absolutely. SoMa offices often feature open layouts with modular furniture, standing desks, collaborative workspaces, and custom-built pieces. Our crews are experienced with disassembling and reassembling benching systems from Fully, Steelcase, Herman Miller, and other brands. We can also reconfigure layouts if you're changing your floor plan during the move.
We handle all standard tech equipment: servers, network switches, UPS systems, multi-monitor workstations, 3D printers, large-format displays, and AV equipment. We use anti-static packaging and coordinate with your IT team on disconnect/reconnect sequencing to minimize downtime. For specialized equipment, we can arrange appropriate handling.
We provide COIs with fast turnaround during business hours. SoMa buildings, especially the newer high-rises, often have specific insurance requirements. Our standard coverage includes $10M general liability. If your building requires specific endorsements or additional insured language, send us the requirements and we'll have the COI to property management before your move.
Yes. Most SoMa commercial moves are scheduled for after business hours or weekends to minimize disruption to your team. Many converted warehouse buildings actually prefer moves outside regular hours. We coordinate with building management on freight elevator availability and loading access during these times.
Efficient and organized
We were moving from one town to another about half an hour away. The movers showed up, got everything in, and even took some stuff we though wasn't ready to go yet. They shrink-wrapped the loose stuff, and got everything down a set of stairs quickly and efficiently. It was super hot and they hardly ever stopped. Nelson and Edwin...

moved from bedroom
We moved from a 2 bedroom to a 1 bedroom about 50 miles away. We received a quote from Luke and it was by far the most realistic quote we received from any moving company - he was very clear about costs and realistic expectations. We had about 10 large items we couldn’t lift ( entertainment center etc ) ....
