Services: Planning & Pre-Move Consultation

Long before you make a move, IMC is already hard at work. As soon as you contact us about a contemplated move, we begin outlining a relocation strategy. During this time, IMC will:

• Determine project objectives
  Meet with client to develop a thorough understanding of project needs;
  Review the project outline, including time factors, scheduling, destination location;
  Assign an IMC project manager to oversee the move.
• Conduct a physical survey
  Identify furniture, equipment, files and other contents that need to be relocated;
  Review building constraints at both locations such as elevators, loading docks, etc.;
  Meet with building management at both locations to discuss issues such as insurance and accessibility.
• Establish a preliminary budget
  Prepare a draft of the move plan involving all elements of the relocation;
  Present draft to client and work out changes or alterations (if any).
• Bid specification for moving companies

  Evaluate bid responses and recommend a qualified carrier to client;
  Update budget to reflect choice of carrier

  Inform client staff as to upcoming move-related dates via meetings and IMC-produced newsletters;
  Identify and accommodate important and unique needs
