Deciding you need more space or redesigned space is the easy part. Getting it isn’t. First you’ve got to weigh revamping your present location versus expanding versus relocating. Then you’ve got to juggle real estate agent, landlord, attorney, architect, engineer, interior designer, general manager, moving company, contractor, your employees and your customers. Plus run your business and handle the changes that made you decide to redesign, expand, or relocate in the first place.
Avoid the Minefield
There’s an easier way. Hire Wood Builders Collaborative. Then you can concentrate on building your business, while Bob Wood handles the army of people it’s going to take to relocate or expand it. For over 20 years, Bob Wood has helped companies large and small cope with getting larger or more efficient, from Westinghouse, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Saudi Arabian Government, and several boards of education to the American Red Cross, food service groups and retailers. And, whether the solution has been to haul sand to the desert to make concrete (desert sand is unusable) or schedule moving vans to load every hour through the night so a company could close Saturday in one location and open Monday morning in another, Bob Wood’s innovative ideas have saved large and small companies time and money.
An Arsenal of Experts
Bob Wood will pull in the specialists you need when you need them, only for as long as you need them, to handle any situation, including:
- Weighing the pros and cons of revamping vs. expanding vs. new construction, and preparing a detailed cost-benefit analysis based on your company’s needs.
- Designing or redesigning your new or existing space for maximum efficiency now and in the future, to accommodate employees and customers, boost profits, and save you money.
- Handling all negotiations with your landlord, and “unlocking” lease payments and capital improvements to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.
- Managing general contractors, sub-contractors, and vendors to make sure you’re getting what you pay for, and keep projects moving along on time and within budget.
- Coordinating all services necessary for relocation for minimum disruption to employees, customers, and clients.
Handling the Tough Missions
Big companies have full time facilities experts. Now small and medium size companies can hire one when necessary. Like the manufacturer who saved 33% on a tenant improvement package negotiated by Bob Wood. Or the department store whose new facility was 16 months behind schedule when Bob stepped in and completed the project with a month to spare. Or the nursery whose sales increased dramatically when a new interior design channeled customers past more high profit items. Or the nursing home that avoided the increase in patient mortality that normally occurs after a major move. Or the dozens of office managers whose jobs have been saved by a relocation expert. (According to Business Week, the office manager who handles a company’s move and doesn’t use a consultant is fired or demoted 68% or the time after the move, due to mistakes and confusion, and 80% of those who had a successful move did use a consultant.)
Contact Wood Builders Collaborative and let an expert help you win the expansion-redesign-relocation battle.
