Office relocation horror stories are far too common:

• Moving companies that don’t show up, don’t meet schedules, don’t complete the move
• Cost overruns not included in the initial office relocation contract more than double the cost
• Technology transition failures increase downtime and result in loss of sales and the goodwill of the business
• Poor space planning reduces the efficiency of the new office space
• Increased employee turnover, right when you need them the most, cripples the business

In other words, when businesses try their office relocation on their own, the most common results are increased costs, lost sales, lost goodwill, low productivity and loss of key employees. All in all, it is not a pretty scenario.

• Increased employee turnover due to high stress
• Loss of sales and customer goodwill due to downtime, poor service
• Poor space planning in the new space reduces productivity
