Planned relocations, built for Cardiff.
Cardiff's office estate has consolidated around Central Square (the BBC Wales HQ block and Legal & General plates) and the Callaghan Square / Capital Quarter cluster, with Cardiff Bay's regeneration adding a second waterside core. A move often crosses those clusters — with quite different loading, lift and building-manager processes at each end. We plan for the Principality Stadium event schedule, Cardiff's expanding bus-priority network and the M4 J32/J33 approach from the west as standard.
Every relocation is owned by a directly-employed Smart Move team with a named project manager, a fixed-price proposal and the same family-run standards we built our reputation on. Our entire model is built around your trading hours: weekends, evenings and overnight cutovers at no surcharge, so the business never goes dark and your team logs in to a working office on Monday morning.

Cardiff access & compliance notes
Principality Stadium event days close large sections of Westgate Street, Wood Street and the Central Square approach — we check the fixture list at survey stage. Cardiff Council's expanding bus-priority network changes some approach routes, and the Cardiff Bay Barrage bridge follows a published opening schedule. Bus-lane camera coverage is heavy across the city core; we route kerbside dwell around it. Cardiff does not operate a Clean Air Zone charge on general HGVs at the time of writing, but the Welsh Government's Air Quality Plan is under review.
Typical Cardiff moves we plan
- Legal firm consolidating Cathedral Road terraces into Central Square
- Broadcaster relocating a production team within the BBC Cymru Wales estate
- Tech scale-up moving from Tramshed Tech (Grangetown) into Cardiff Bay
- Financial services team moving from Cardiff Gate to Callaghan Square
- NHS clinical function moving between UHW and Llandough sites

Local knowledge that changes the invoice.
From Central Square HQ moves to Cardiff Bay relocations and Cardiff Gate / Cardiff Business Park cutovers along the M4 J32, our teams know the South Wales rhythm — stadium event-day access restrictions, Bay Barrage bridge windows and the A470 approach from the Valleys.
