Relocation budgeting
Understand the financial impact
before you commit.
How much does your relocation project really cost? A useful estimate starts with a clear assignment, an inventory and a feasible scenario.
VM360° brings together cost items, assumptions and uncertainties. This provides you with a substantiated basis for freeing up a budget, comparing quotes and assessing changes.
First focus the command
Comparable principles provide useful figures.
What moves, between which locations and when? Who packages, disassembles or reconnects? We record included benefits and exclusions. Missing data remains recognisable as an assumption or item yet to be confirmed.
Scope & inventoryAccessibility & treatmentPhasing & timingInternal commitment & external performance
A tailor-made overview
More than just transport.
We determine together which costs belong to the moving budget and which costs fall under a different project budget.
Removal & handling
Personnel, transport, packaging materials, labelling, disassembly and assembly according to the agreed scope.
Technology & specialists
ICT support, specialised equipment and interventions by suppliers, estimated separately where necessary.
Storage & Workarounds
Temporary storage, intermediate movements and facilities required during a phased transition.
Old location & repurposing
Reuse, donations, disposal, cleaning and agreements regarding the handover of the abandoned location.
Commissioning & aftercare
Support during start-up, agreed aftercare and follow-up of outstanding items.
Weighing scenarios
The cheapest quote does not tell the whole story.
A move in one go requires different resources than a transition per department. Evening work, temporary storage, extra movements or limited access can influence the estimate.
We compare scenarios on costs and consequences for your operation. We also make visible which amounts have been confirmed and which amounts still require investigation or a quote.
Connect budget with planning →Hospitals & healthcare
Coordination with care teams, phased commissioning and specialised suppliers are included in the cost delineation.
Laboratories & pharma
Equipment handling, disconnection, reinstallation and any validations are delineated and estimated with the specialists involved.
Uncertainties and reserve
We discuss an appropriate reserve based on specific risks. There is no standard percentage for every project.
Quality of the implementing partner
The right people for the right assignment.
When comparing quotes, we also check whether the employees deployed are sufficiently trained and have experience with the planned work. We ask which relevant diplomas, licenses, attestations or certificates are available and whether they match the tasks and conditions of your location.
Working safely
Consider VCA where requested, safety instructions and experience with the risks of your environment. We distinguish employee qualifications from any company certification.
Operate equipment
For example, for a forklift truck or ladder lift, we look at the demonstrable training, experience and any required certificates of the operator, tailored to the equipment used and the assignment.
Record in the quotation
We make visible which qualified employees and specialised partners are provided. Required training, instruction or extra effort is discussed in advance, including any impact on the budget.
The supporting documents required depend on the work, equipment and location conditions. The implementing partner remains responsible for the appropriate deployment of its employees.
What do you receive?
An overview that you can use to manage.
We tailor the elaboration to the project phase and the agreed assignment. Each update makes clear what information the estimate is based on.
- ✓A cost overview per agreed part
- ✓Defined scope, assumptions and exclusions
- ✓A distinction between estimates, quotations and confirmed amounts
- ✓A comparison of relevant scenarios or quotes
- ✓Insight into risks and a discussed budget reserve
- ✓For further guidance: follow-up of changes and expected final costs
Consciously assess changes
Every additional request also needs a cost assessment.
An additional department, additional archive or changed moving date can affect personnel, equipment and planning. We map out the impact and present it to the agreed decision maker.
After approval, scope, planning and cost overview are updated. This makes it visible why the budget is changing.
Frequently asked questions
Can you already estimate if not everything is known yet?
Yes, based on available data. We identify the assumptions and uncertainties and refine the estimate as volumes, timing and performance become clearer.
Is this the same as a moving quote?
No. VM360° helps structure and assess the total moving budget. Executive partners offer their own performance. Their quotes are compared with the agreed assignment.
What about internal costs and VAT?
We agree on how internal efforts, additional project costs and VAT are shown in the overview. This makes it clear which amounts are comparable and what is or is not included in the total.
Can you compare existing quotes?
Yes. We compare scope, volumes, timing and included performance, but also the employees provided, their relevant training and experience and appropriate certificates, such as VCA or training for forklift and ladder lift operation. Uncertainties and differences are made visible before you decide.
Can budget formatting be done separately?
We look at what inventory and project information is available. On this basis we determine the necessary analysis and agree on the scope of the assignment.
From assumptions to insight
Discuss your moving budget.
We look at what information is already available and what is needed for a substantiated estimate.
