You are a dynamic and rapidly growing company, your current office space and layout no longer fits your business needs and you are looking at relocation options. You have already approached several realtors, but feel the need for an objective and unbiased opinion. You are not very familiar with the real estate industry, but you realize that before relocating you must:

• identify total needed space
• find the ideal location that will offer both visibility and expansion potential
• negotiate a rent or pre-rent contract, even before the building is finished, and that this contract must indicate technical and quality standards that will allow at least reasonable quality control procedures upon hand-over
• contract the services of an architect who will provide a space-planning project ensuring the functional needs of your business are met, in a style that promotes your company's image in accordance with your high standards
• elaborate a realistic and reliable budget that will map both investment level and cash-flow
• understand and plan for efficient space management
• prepare for infrastructure changes (ventilation ducts, piping, electric circuits and panels, security features, voice/data communications, server rooms, data rooms, etc.)
• define furnishing plans
• contract engineering services to plan and implement any structural changes to the workspace (new walls, new rooms, spacing configuration, etc.)
• elaborate scope of work documents for contractor selection
• identify qualified contractors that will carry out all activities linked to workspace configuration
• inspect and take delivery of premises according to standards mentioned in the lease/rent agreement
• obtain all legal permits related to configuring/using the workspace
• coordinate technical execution of all activities
• coordinate and manage employee and equipment moving in a non-disruptive way

...accomplish all the above with maximum efficiency, in order to keep "downtime" to an absolute minimum...
