Description
In these days of rapid business change and re-organisation an increasing number of facilities
and other managers are becoming involved in relocation including fitting out office space.
Even quite small projects can involve identifying and sequencing a wide range of tasks, tight
budgeting and financial control, setting up and managing a project team and extensive
liaison with users.
A poorly executed project can result in missed deadlines, cost overruns, unhappy users and,
sometimes, a ruined FM reputation.
This workshop based course leads delegates step by step through the processes involved in
planning and project managing a relocation including the building fit-out and move. The
workshop sessions include assessing space needs, sourcing suitable buildings, checking
organisational fit and outline space planning as well as budget and programme planning.
