Moving Matters, Vol. 2, No. 3, July 2007
In This Issue:
The ultimate goal of a successful move is to minimize the impact of a relocation on your company’s day-to-day operations. Being a move coordination firm, it’s easy for us to foresee and prepare for potential hitches in a plan as we’ve coordinated dozens of small- to large-scale office moves. If your company is planning a move and if you’ve never planned one before, read how you can disaster-proof your office move.
The Challenge
Our client, Husic Capital Management, was relocating from the Bank of America Building in San Francisco to another beautiful office downtown about six blocks away. The challenge was that they were pulling furniture from storage to outfit their new office. Because the items had been in storage for so long, it was difficult to say what was inside and whether the items would coordinate with their new office space.
The Golden Gate Company Solution
The GGC met regularly with the client to understand their needs in the new space. We then took a trip to Husic’s storage unit to pull furniture and match like items together. We used measurements to put together a space plan so that we knew where everything would go before it arrived at Husic’s new office space. We managed the movers over their move weekend to make sure that our space plan was implemented and that everything was in its place before the employees arrived at their new offices on Monday morning.
The Results
The new office space was beautiful on the day following the weekend move! Thanks to our space plan and worry-free execution, everything was in its place and the employees were able to get to work almost immediately.
As Tracy White, Husic Controller said: “The follow up was spectacular. Without question, I will contact Golden Gate as my move coordination company of choice for all future office relocations with which I may be involved.”
