5 Steps to Reduce Risks in Your Lab Relocation
Whether you plan on moving your lab in the near or distant future, it’s important to plan ahead to avoid potential risks involved with this type of relocation. Planning ahead and taking the following steps can help you have a stress-free experience with minimal downtime and optimal results:

A major risk of relocating a lab is spending more time and money on the process than expected. Setting a budget and considering an ideal move timeline can help avoid extensive downtime and unnecessary costs.

Organize Paperwork and Permits
Every city, town, and state has different regulations labs must follow when relocating, so before moving day, it’s essential to ensure you take the appropriate steps to avoid potential violations and comply with the safety rules. You may also need to obtain certain permits for your move. Our knowledgeable team can help you understand the rules and regulations involved in the process while keeping your paperwork and permits organized.
Communicate With Your Team
Another risk involved in moving a lab is miscommunication, which may result in delays and confusion. Our attentive team can help you maintain communication among your employees, keeping them informed and involved. They may be able to help with aspects of the move and provide useful insight into how items should be packaged, how the new space should be configured, and the best timeline for the relocation.
Understand Your New Space
Before moving day, it’s crucial to understand the layout of your new space to determine how it should be organized, how to keep each area safe, and its previous purpose. This information can help us properly clean out the lab and prepare it for your relocation. It also sets your team up for success, as they will already be familiar with the space.
