Relocation Consulting: Planning, Coordination & Risk Minimization – Nationwide & International

Topics on this page

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.

What Relocation Consulting Means

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.

Distinction: Consulting vs. Implementation

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.

Project Start: Analysis, Goal Definition and Framework Conditions

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.

What information is needed at the start of the project

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)

Relocation Planning and Project Structure

Based on the analysis, a structured relocation concept is developed as the central working basis.

Phases, Milestones, and Project Logic

A reliable relocation plan breaks the project down into clearly defined phases — e.g., preparation, detailed planning, implementation, commissioning — with clear milestones and dependencies.

Set up a realistic relocation schedule

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.

Relocation During Ongoing Operations

Many projects do not allow a complete operational shutdown. Relocation consulting ensures that processes continue while locations or departments are being relocated.

Ensuring Business Continuity

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.

Risk Management and Contingency Planning

Large relocations involve risks, from delivery delays to IT outages. Professional consulting identifies these risks early and develops countermeasures.

Risk Plan and Contingency Concepts

Risks are systematically assessed and backed with concrete measures. This includes alternative scenarios, escalation paths, and defined decision structures.

Avoiding Common Mistakes in Large Relocations

Common mistakes include overly tight schedules, unclear responsibilities, or insufficient communication. Structured consulting minimizes these risks before they become issues.

Coordination of Service Providers and Trades

Large relocations are interface projects. Various service providers, internal departments, and external partners must be coordinated.

Interface and Stakeholder Management

A central goal of relocation consulting is to define responsibilities clearly and avoid loss of information. All parties work based on unified requirements.

Tendering, Awarding and Service Provider Management

On request, the consulting can support tendering, supplier comparisons, and awarding processes. Even during implementation, project management ensures quality assurance and schedule transparency.

Inventory, Labeling and Tracking

A clear inventory overview is the basis for planning, cost control, and smooth commissioning.

Inventory Concepts (Barcode/RFID/Lists)

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.

Documented Handovers and Chain of Custody

Handovers are structured and documented, for example via handover protocols or tracking systems. This creates transparency and security, especially for sensitive goods or data.

Data Protection, Confidentiality, and IT Relocations

In company and site relocations, data protection and IT stability play a crucial role.

GDPR, NDA and Sensitive Data

Handling of personal data, confidential documents, or IT systems is clearly regulated in consulting, including access rights, non-disclosure agreements (NDA), and security concepts.

Planning IT Relocation Without Downtime

IT relocations are planned so that systems are shut down, moved, and restarted in a controlled way. The goal is availability with minimal interruption.

Costs, Budget Planning, and Cost-Effectiveness

A core goal of relocation consulting is cost transparency.

Calculate Relocation Costs Realistically

Costs are not estimated as a flat rate, but calculated based on scope, schedule, provider structure and risks. This helps avoid budget overruns.

Control Instead of Surprises

Ongoing controlling, target/actual comparisons, and clear decision paths keep costs manageable — even if the project changes.

Deliverables: What You Receive from Relocation Consulting

Relocation consulting does not provide abstract recommendations, but concrete work results.

Typical Results of a Consulting Project

  • 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

Commissioning and Ramp-Up at the New Location

A move is only complete when the new site is operational.

Testing, Acceptance, and Ramp-Up Planning

Commissioning is planned, tested, and accompanied. Acceptances ensure that processes, technology, and IT work as intended.

Project Start, Pilot Projects, and Entry

Not every project has to start at full scale immediately.

Pilot or Partial Relocations as a Starting Point

In complex projects, a pilot or partial relocation can make sense to test processes and gain insights for the overall move.

How Fast Consulting Can Start

Getting started is often possible at short notice. What matters most is a clear goal definition and the availability of core project information.
