What are the biggest mistakes companies make when relocating?

What pitfalls should we avoid when selecting space, planning layouts, or managing the move?

This most common mistake is companies believing they can handle all nuisances of relocating internally while not alienating the staff. Other mistakes include:

• Budget 
  • Underestimating the budget 

• Space Selection 
  • Leasing too much or too little space, not properly vetting your needs 

• Space Planning Layout 
  • Most people are not familiar with reviewing floor plans and sometimes what is on paper looks different than the space it will take up in reality.  Relocation Strategies can utiilize its experience to review plans with your interests in mind to make sure the space works for you.  We are here to make sure you understand the spatial relationships in the space and to interpret the drawings for you. 

• Review Construction Drawings 
  • Reviewing construction drawings can be overwhelming and there are so many details that are not always on the same page. Assuming that you told the architect, broker or property manager will not be sufficient if it is not on the drawings.   

• Managing the move 
  • The timing of moves can go way over schedule and have hours of downtime if not planned correctly. Using Relocation Strategies to manage the move gives you leverage because we bid and hire movers several times each month.
