Relocation project management, the way we do it, means one person to deal with from the first call to sign-off. The surveys, RAMS and planning are done beforehand by the same people who then do the move, so nobody works from someone else's notes on the night. We're in Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire, and cover London and Heathrow.
You tell us what you need. From the first email or call we appoint a single point of contact who manages it from start to finish, and who'll set up Teams calls to tell you how it's going.
If an office move has landed on you on top of your day job, start here. This is what works.
Someone on your side has to own the plan. That's the move owner. You'll also want an IT lead, and a contact at each building.
On our side, the project manager is the one person who talks to all three. The crew supervisor on the day answers to the project manager.
We work in six stages. Our Office Move Planner Pack has a tick list for each.
It's usually the same few things. Internet ordered too late. Nobody owns the plan.
The seating plan changed after the labels were printed. Building management told in the last week. IT treated as an afterthought to the furniture.
The old office clearance left out of the budget. Nobody there on the first morning.
Keep one list of risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies, and go through it every week. Project managers call it a RAID log.
What's moving and when, what to pack and what to leave, how to label crates, monitors and peripherals, what to take home, when to be out of the building, and who to call if something's missing on the first morning.
Keep one contact sheet: the move owner, IT lead, building managers at both ends, the crew supervisor, and security or reception. Everyone has the numbers before the weekend. Our Weekend Changeover Plan and Comms Checklist has a template.
We're ISO 9001:2015 certified and members of the Road Haulage Association. Our public liability is no less than £2 million. Cover for your equipment is arranged for each job to its value, up to £0.5m without referral.
Data centres and managed buildings often ask for contractor paperwork before they approve a visit: insurance, training records and confirmation of who's attending. Our DBS, Insurance and Training Pack Index lists what they usually want. Our accreditations page has the certificates.
They're the one person who knows the whole plan: the surveys, the dates, the paperwork and who's doing what. They keep you updated and sort problems before the day.
Name an owner, start early, tell building management at both ends, label everything and tell staff what to expect. See the guide above.
Use one contact sheet and one plan, and keep IT in it from the start.
Yes. If you only want the transport and the rack and stack, that's all we do. If you want more, say so.
We do, if you ask. Or you can start with our free templates.
Yes, one person from the first call to sign-off.
