Lab Relocation Service with Experience

Many laboratory relocations are unfortunately disorganized and poorly executed. In many cases, laboratory relocation projects are undertaken internally with a limited understanding of the required skillset and complexity involved. Laboratory relocation responsibilities are often delegated to owner's project managers (OPM) who, though fluent in new project construction, may not have the required technical understanding of laboratory instrumentation, service and support requirements and other critical considerations that affect relocation project phasing and the overall relocation plan.


Furthermore, bench level knowledge of the assets, laboratory workflows and understanding the lab personnel’s requirements for them to perform their daily tasks, is critical. This effectively establishes credibility and cooperation amongst diverse cross functional teams including scientists, facilities, lab management and support personnel within the organization. The best way to ensure that these abilities are available is to entrust a laboratory relocation to an experienced team of expert Lab relocation specialists.


With so many moving parts, strict time frames and production schedules, a lab relocation presents a variety of risks. To mitigate these risks, contingency planning for various scenarios is essential. Your plan should be expected to change, and how you make decisions based on these changes will play a critical role in the success of your move. An experienced lab relocation specialist is a necessary resource in this regard. Understanding the complexity and designating a qualified relocation manager to properly manage a laboratory relocation is a critical decision. Your relocation manager should also be able to identify weak links in the chain of accountability, putting the right resources where they need to be.
