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

Laboratory relocation and move management in Herent
For a laboratory move in Herent or between Herent and the Leuven area, VM360° connects the relocation schedule to your organisation’s daily operations. From moving instruments internally to changing buildings, we define what moves, who prepares it and the conditions for receiving and reuse.
Discuss your relocation →Support from Aalter, with on-site attendance as agreed.
Prepare your site
Moving a laboratory with clear handover conditions
- Prepare an inventory with instrument owners, destinations, utility needs and planned availability.
- Agree arrangements for ongoing analyses, equipment staying temporarily, and the handover of samples and data.
- Have contractors assess routes, doors, lifts and protection for delicate instruments.
- Allow time for installation, checks and release before scheduling full operating capacity.
From analysis to handover
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
Is coordination useful for an internal laboratory move?
Yes. Even within one building, utilities, specialist availability and shared instruments can determine the schedule. Support is matched to the assignment’s scope and dependencies.
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.
