Quote VS Estimate

Some commercial relocations require a quote while others need an estimate. A quote is a guaranteed cost based on specific scope of work discussed to be done and the final cost for the move will not change unless the scope of work changes. An estimate is based on an approximation of hours needed for the move at an hourly rate and the final cost is determined by the man hours and equipment used to complete the job. We are happy to provide either option to our clients and our Estimators will speak with you to determine which option works best for you.

PREPARING FOR A SUCCESSFUL COMMERCIAL RELOCATION

The process of moving offices, industrial complexes, healthcare facilities, institutional buildings, entire corporate campuses, manufacturing plants, laboratories, or warehouses can seem at times to be full of complexities, unhappy employees, cost overruns, and several more potentially unpleasant outcomes. So what’s the secret to a successful commercial relocation?

The simple key to success is to follow closely the rule of the six “P”‘s – Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance! This rule certainly applies to you if you’re the one with the ultimate responsibility for executing the relocation process and outcome, but it also applies to your company teammates and to your outside service providers. It also applies to every company planning for a relocation regardless of type or size.

When it comes to a large relocation project there is no such thing as being over prepared. The process should ideally start with outlining your every need in a step-by-step protocol, and then nailing down those details with each service provider and communicating those details with your internal constituents.

Sure, there are some basic pre-move elements such as office/facility design, space utilization, technology concerns (inclusive of availability, usage and maximization), inventory control, resource tracking, utility planning, and timing that you may think are outside a moving company’s purview. But one area where many companies make a mistake is by not calling in their moving company earlier in the process so that their mover can play a pivotal role in the actual pre-move planning. Plus, your mover will have relationships with services that can be helpful to you in the moving process.

Where the relocation process sometimes breaks down is when employees are neglected and/or uninformed of the need, the plan, the outcome and how the actual relocation impacts them in the end. Generally speaking, employees are still regarded as the biggest asset that any company can have. Communication, even to the point of being accused of over-communicating, is one of the key elements of a truly successful relocation plan and outcome.

Having a partner or partners who understand all of the above is also important when it comes to planning a successful relocation. You want a moving company partner that has knowledge and valuable input, capacity and capability, proper equipment and manpower, planning expertise, and relationships with service providers you may need during your big move. Having a move manager, a well-thought-out plan, and good execution can make the difference between a great move and a stress filled one. Let Dreiske provide you with the former.
