Move planning, coordination, and vendor management
We can coordinate and plan all move activities. From helping to organize the office purge, internal garage sales, disposal plans, or temporary storage locations, we do it. Vendors partner with us to develop cost proposals for evaluation based on detailed move scopes, validate scope on walkthroughs of each project, assess timelines, and evaluate any risks associated with the move.
White glove move day experience
After carefully planning and coordinating the move, we can be on-site to act as the liaison between the move crew, the organization’s points of contact, and to direct traffic to ensure everything is in its place. We provide detailed move reports that indicate what scope has been completed during that move day and remedy any potential issues that may come up in the following day.
Evaluation of existing facilities and assets
We have the expertise to review your on-site assets, existing furniture, workplace programming, and equipment. This can be put into a detailed shared inventory or used to inform the costs and timeline of a future project or decommission.
FF&E budget development
Using our experience and vendor relationships,we assess every aspect of a new furniture or reconfiguration project and provide a detailed multi-level budget. Understanding the potential costs associated with their project allows our clients the ability to spend their capital funds wisely and engage the correct vendors and service providers.
Support construction, tenant improvement, or decommission projects
There are times that a client’s resources may be depleted in the midst of a project that involves a move, needs furniture oversight, or a plan for vacating a space. Our construction partners are the boots on the ground, and understand if a project is at risk for becoming a furniture or move coordination disaster. That’s when they call Re-Form to take the stress off the project team and push it towards a successful first-day-of-business.
Furniture requests for proposals (RFP) and selection guidance
Re-Form Consulting truly understands commercial furniture, the importance of selecting the right vendor, and the adjacent products and services that will provide long-term value for our clients. Our industry relationships are deep and methodology for conducting the RFP process, interviews, and vendor evaluations is not only proudly unorthodox, but most importantly, fair and transparent. We provide a platform for every vendor to address the important aspects of a project, but don’t ask them to waste their time on RFPs that are not vetted.
Development or refinement of internal facilities and operations processes
Many companies, regardless of their size, have existing processes for procurement, bidding, moves / adds / changes, or how their internal departments that support building operations communicate. Some of those processes work well, some do not, and some don’t yet exist. Our experience in working with vendors, facilities and operations teams, executive teams, and real estate professionals offers a perspective that is valuable to organizations of all sizes. Our belief is that all facilities and operations processes must be created from a holistic perspective and in partnership with adjacent departments, vendors, internal teams, and executives.
Furniture dealer management
We partner with the selected furniture vendors on our clients’ projects to develop proper meeting cadences that align with the decision milestones, help them through the sometimes complicated nature of the construction of a space, and ensure that they are performing.
