Office Relocation Case Study

Description:

Liberty Moving & Storage was awarded the Edo project after an intense bidding process. The project involved the consolidation of Edo's Defense and Technology Group in Deer Park and its Marine and Air Systems Group to multiple locations at its Amityville location. In total, there were over 400 employees involved in the move and over 150,000 feet of warehouse/ office space. The complexity of the project was compounded by the high level of security at all origin and destination locations.

The Liberty Planning Team, headed by Vincent Miano and Lew Sayre, conducted over 20 on site visits and planning meetings with Edo staff to develop an intimate knowledge of the Edo facility and create an efficient move plan. For the warehouse part of the move, Liberty was responsible for the relocation high tech manufacturing equipment, industrial machinery, a clean room, granite tables, B1B test cells, warehouse racking and related stock items. For the office part of the project, Liberty was responsible for packing, relocating and unpacking all computer equipment, file systems and office furniture of over 350 office employees.

Liberty created a tagging system utilizing 25 different colors to ensure proper placement of warehouse/ office items at destination locations. During moves in and out of Edo facilities, Liberty created a plan to ensure protection of all floors, corridors, corners and elevators. Finally, Liberty conducted instructional meetings with Edo staff to explain the proper techniques for packing, tagging, etc. The move was completed within the parameters of Edo 's move schedule and within budget.

Description:

As with most major relocations, planning was a key element to the successful relocation of this facility. The relocation involved three major steps: 1. The Development & Approval of the Move Plan; 2. The Coordination of the necessary vendors (riggers, plumbers, electricians, etc.) and 3. The Physical Move.

The planning phase consisted of interviewing all department heads and determining the order in which departments would be relocated. This tedious assignment was critical to minimize disruption to BAE's operation. The move was also dependent upon the completion of construction at multiple destinations. The move plan (sample attached) was developed over a period of 30 days (as requested by the client) and it identified each of the tasks necessary so that each department had advance notice of when their group would be required to have information available for the actual move. This planning work was conducted at BAE by Liberty 's on-site Project Management Team.

BAE's actual relocation included not only the offices of approximately 350 employees, but also the tagging, inventory and packing, rigging, loading, unloading and unpacking of all products, trade fixtures, machinery, chambers, lab contents and testing room equipment. Hazardous materials containers were moved under the Department of Transportation regulations and12Kardex files were packed and unpacked. Several cranes and outside chillers (cooling towers) were relocated as well. A great deal of classified materials were relocated and strict security guidelines were followed.

Description:

Liberty was awarded the Omega Moulding project after a detailed bidding and interview process. Omega needed a relocation company that could assist in planning and carrying out a major office/ warehouse relocation involving multiple origin sites and a wide range of moving services including machinery rigging, stock relocation, packing, electronics and a substantial office move. After several meetings with Omega's move management team, Liberty Project Managers Andrew Hill and Al Jackson created a move plan involving 4 Phases and centered around keeping Omega's operation up and running during the one month project.

Phase 1 involved the relocation of loose molding stock from Omega's Motor Parkway facility into their 110,000 square foot facility in Bellport. Phase 2 involved the relocation of over 22,000 boxes (each 10 x 2 and weighing over 80 lbs.) from three locations to the destination site. Phase 3 involved the relocation of delicate production equipment, live stock and the entire office operations of Omega. This Phase was done over the weekend to ensure there was no loss in productivity for the Omega workforce. The final Phase of the move was the relocation of Omega's heavy industrial equipment. Rigging specialist Al Jackson was able to accomplish this phase within a 2 day time period. The Omega Moulding Project was completed within the stated time schedule and within budget.

Description:

In the summer of 2003, Liberty was hired by the Town of Brookhaven to plan and execute a massive consolidation of their administrative offices in Suffolk County . The project involved the relocation of furniture, computer equipment, files and contents of over 700 employees from three locations in Suffolk County to the new Town of Brookhaven headquarters located at the old Allstate building in Farmingville.

The planning process for this move started three months prior to the move with weekly meetings including general contractors, architects, Town of Brookhaven engineering and security personnel and the Liberty Move coordination team.

One of the biggest challenges was the move was planning and executing the reconfiguration of over 300 workstations to accommodate the new space and the layout of the architectural plans. The process involved the inventorying, relocation and assembly of over 9,000 existing workstation parts that were stored in the new facility. The entire project lasted over three months and was completed on time and within budget.
