Full-Service Move in Business Bay: The Easy Way
A full-service move in Business Bay in 2026: what the movers handle, what you still do, typical prices and a simple low-effort weekly plan.
A full-service move is the easiest way to change apartments in Business Bay. You do not spend evenings packing boxes or chasing building management. Instead, you hand the whole job to one team. They pack, move, rebuild and clean up, while you get on with work. This 2026 guide explains exactly what you need to do — and what you can leave to the movers.
Quick answer: with a full-service move, your only jobs are booking the movers, requesting the building permits and keeping your valuables with you. The crew handles everything else for one fixed price.
What a full-service move includes
First, here is the split. Everything in the left column is done for you.
| The movers do | You do |
|---|---|
| Survey and fixed quote | Choose a date |
| Supply all boxes and wrap | Request move permits for both towers |
| Pack every room and label boxes | Pack valuables and documents |
| Dismantle and rebuild furniture | Tell the crew where things go |
| Protect lifts and corridors | Hand over keys and access cards |
| Unpack and remove debris | Enjoy your first evening |
See our packing and unpacking service for how the packing day works.
Your low-effort plan, week by week
- Two weeks before: book a 10-minute video survey, then confirm the fixed price.
- One week before: request the move-out and move-in permits. Our NOC guide lists what towers ask for.
- Three days before: confirm service lift times, and share them with the movers.
- The day before: the crew packs the whole apartment, usually in one day.
- Moving day: the crew loads, moves, rebuilds furniture and unpacks the kitchen and bedrooms.
Why a full-service move suits Business Bay
Business Bay is almost all towers. So every move has lift slots, loading bays and building rules. Because a full-service crew plans all of this, the day runs on time. Also, packing in advance means the lift window is used only for loading. As a result, there is less risk of running out of time. For more on the area, see our Business Bay movers page, or our Business Bay tower moving guide.
What it costs
A full-service move costs a little more than a basic one, because packing labour and materials are included. However, it often saves money overall. That is because nothing breaks, and the move finishes in one lift window.
| Apartment | Typical full-service price (AED) |
|---|---|
| Studio | 450 – 700 |
| 1-bedroom | 600 – 900 |
| 2-bedroom | 900 – 1,400 |
| 3-bedroom | 1,400 – 2,200 |

Optional extras that save even more time
- Storage: if dates do not line up, storage holds your things until the new apartment is ready.
- Handyman work: curtain rails, shelves and TV mounting at the new home.
- Cleaning: a move-out clean for the old apartment, which helps with your deposit.
Moving to nearby areas
Many Business Bay residents move to Downtown Dubai, JLT or Dubai Marina. Because these are tower areas too, the same plan works. Also, remember to update your tenancy through Ejari on the Dubai Land Department website after you move.
