Large relocations rarely fail due to transport. They fail due to lack of planning, unclear responsibilities, unrealistic timelines, or insufficient coordination between stakeholders. This is exactly where professional relocation consulting comes in.
Gebr. Roggendorf GmbH supports companies, institutions and public clients with structured relocation consulting – from the early conceptual phase to project management and risk management, all the way to the controlled commissioning at the new location. The goal is to avoid operational interruptions, minimize risks, and implement projects in a predictable manner, both nationwide and internationally.
With Gebr. Roggendorf GmbH, you have an experienced partner by your side. We support you with personalized advice, thorough planning, and safe transport — so your move goes as smoothly as possible.
Relocation consulting is not an operational moving service, but a higher-level planning, management and control function. It creates the organizational, scheduling, and economic prerequisites for a seamless relocation.
A relocation consultant plans, structures, and manages. The actual execution can be carried out by internal teams or external service providers. Consulting ensures that everyone involved works based on a unified plan.
Every relocation consulting project begins with a thorough analysis of the initial situation. This is not only about space or volume, but especially about processes, dependencies, and risks.
Typical basics are:
current location and target location
affected areas, departments, or functions
timing constraints and fixed deadlines
requirements for business continuity
sensitive areas (IT, data, technology, archives)
Based on the analysis, a structured relocation concept is developed as the central working basis.
A reliable relocation plan breaks the project down into clearly defined phases — e.g., preparation, detailed planning, implementation, commissioning — with clear milestones and dependencies.
A schedule is only reliable if it considers real processes, dependencies, and buffers. The goal is not a theoretically fast move, but a functioning move without unplanned downtime.
Many projects do not allow a complete operational shutdown. Relocation consulting ensures that processes continue while locations or departments are being relocated.
Typical measures include phase-based and partial relocations, staggered transfers, and clearly defined handover points. What matters is that critical functions remain secured at all times.
Large relocations involve risks, from delivery delays to IT outages. Professional consulting identifies these risks early and develops countermeasures.
Risks are systematically assessed and backed with concrete measures. This includes alternative scenarios, escalation paths, and defined decision structures.
Common mistakes include overly tight schedules, unclear responsibilities, or insufficient communication. Structured consulting minimizes these risks before they become issues.
Large relocations are interface projects. Various service providers, internal departments, and external partners must be coordinated.
A central goal of relocation consulting is to define responsibilities clearly and avoid loss of information. All parties work based on unified requirements.
On request, the consulting can support tendering, supplier comparisons, and awarding processes. Even during implementation, project management ensures quality assurance and schedule transparency.
A clear inventory overview is the basis for planning, cost control, and smooth commissioning.
Depending on the project, simple lists, barcode systems, or RFID solutions can be used. The goal is clear assignment and traceability throughout all project phases.
Handovers are structured and documented, for example via handover protocols or tracking systems. This creates transparency and security, especially for sensitive goods or data.
In company and site relocations, data protection and IT stability play a crucial role.
Handling of personal data, confidential documents, or IT systems is clearly regulated in consulting, including access rights, non-disclosure agreements (NDA), and security concepts.
IT relocations are planned so that systems are shut down, moved, and restarted in a controlled way. The goal is availability with minimal interruption.
A core goal of relocation consulting is cost transparency.
Costs are not estimated as a flat rate, but calculated based on scope, schedule, provider structure and risks. This helps avoid budget overruns.
Ongoing controlling, target/actual comparisons, and clear decision paths keep costs manageable — even if the project changes.
Relocation consulting does not provide abstract recommendations, but concrete work results.
Relocation concept and project plan
Time and milestone planning
Risk and contingency concepts
Checklists and process plans
Handover and acceptance concepts
Documentation for audit and verification
A move is only complete when the new site is operational.
Commissioning is planned, tested, and accompanied. Acceptances ensure that processes, technology, and IT work as intended.
Not every project has to start at full scale immediately.
In complex projects, a pilot or partial relocation can make sense to test processes and gain insights for the overall move.
Getting started is often possible at short notice. What matters most is a clear goal definition and the availability of core project information.
