Pricing guide
Ottawa-Gatineau moving cost guide
Use this Ottawa-Gatineau page as a planning range, not a flat quote. Government-zone buildings, downtown towers, and cross-river coordination create more access checks than the drive time alone suggests.
The range is only the baseline. Bridge timing, permit rules, and different Ontario or Quebec parking patterns can shift the truck plan materially. Storage helps when possession timing, bridge-side access, or phased office occupancy leave the delivery window uncertain.

When packing or storage makes sense
Professional packing
Packing becomes relevant when the move includes fragile items, glassware, artwork, or when building schedules leave little room for last-minute preparation.
Temporary storage
Storage makes sense when possession dates, elevator bookings, or closing dates do not line up cleanly and delivery needs to stay flexible.
