Scope and inventory
What moves, what stays and what needs separate handling? We connect volumes, locations and destinations to the way your organisation operates.

Relocation management for biotech
A biotech relocation connects equipment, research schedules, materials and technical utilities. VM360° coordinates research teams, facilities, IT and specialist contractors. Your authorised owners define material handling requirements and the conditions for restarting activities.
Discuss your relocation →Support from Aalter, with on-site attendance as agreed.
Prepare your site
Starting with research continuity
- Link every critical instrument to a destination, specialist and confirmed restart condition.
- Have material owners define and document transport and storage conditions.
- Plan checks and any post-installation qualification as separate steps with authorised owners.
Project experience
ArgenX
ArgenX is among the existing references for projects in which Kurt Van Synghel was involved. Discuss which aspects of that experience are relevant to your research environment.

An approach shaped around your operations.
Budget and contractor selection
A supported estimate and comparable quotations inform decisions. Assumptions, exclusions and changes remain visible.
More about this step →Building and workstations
Access, IT, utilities and outstanding issues each have an owner. Authorised people confirm what is ready for use.
More about this step →Planning and instructions
Move phases reflect operational needs. Teams and contractors share instructions for timing, labels and destinations.
More about this step →Coordination and decisions
We coordinate actions and dependencies. Deviations reach the right decision-maker; on-site attendance during the move is agreed as part of the assignment.
More about this step →Handover and aftercare
Reported issues and outstanding items are followed up. We record who takes over and when an item can be closed.
More about this step →Clear responsibilities
You choose the partners. We coordinate the interfaces.
VM360° provides independent advice and coordination. Transport, technical inspections and specialist work remain with the appointed contractors. Your organisation decides on budgets, contracts and the release of move phases.
Practical questions
Does VM360° take over scientific or technical release?
No. We coordinate dependencies and follow-up; scientific decisions, specialist handling and technical release remain with authorised owners.
When should we start?
As soon as a relocation or site change becomes concrete. Scope, building availability, IT and internal decisions determine the preparation time, which we establish together.
What does the support cost?
This depends on scope, the number of sites, phasing and the required attendance. We define the assignment and expected outputs before preparing a proposal.
