Our Services / Move Management

Move Management

When it is time to move, every detail matters. We plan and execute workplace moves end to end, from headquarters relocations to phased restacks to full decommissionings, so your people land in their new space on day one with nothing missed and nothing disrupted.

The Role

The Move Is the Moment Everything Comes Together.

A relocation touches every person in the organization and every system that keeps it running. Furniture, technology, vendors, building access, the sequence of who moves when: each piece has to be planned, coordinated, and executed on a fixed date that does not move. There is no second chance at a move day.

North Ave runs that process so you do not have to. We build the plan, manage the vendors, and own the logistics from the first box to the first morning in the new space. Your team keeps working while we handle the move around them.

A move is judged on a single morning. We make sure it goes right.
Why North Ave

Experience, accountability, and care on every project

A team assembled with intent

Built by bringing together proven leaders one at a time, each selected for their track record, their judgment, and the way they treat clients and partners. A concentration of talent and capability rarely found in a single firm.

Selective by design

We take on a limited number of projects so we can stay engaged, responsive, and accountable. Structure and controls are part of how we work, applied deliberately and adapted to each client.

Innovative technology

Projects deserve more communication, visibility, and transparency than off-the-shelf tools provide. So we built our own. An almost entirely custom stack that surfaces the data behind better decisions.

A value-forward mindset

We carry a fiduciary responsibility on every assignment. We drive value in two directions: the savings we help identify and validate, and the costly problems we see coming and avoid altogether.

Scope of Services

Every Box. Every System. Every Detail.

Full-service transition planning and execution, from the first inventory through the first day of business in your new space and the closeout of the space you leave behind.

01

Move Planning & Sequencing

Building the master move plan: phasing, timelines, and the sequence of departments, so the relocation unfolds in the right order with the least disruption.

02

Inventory & Space Allocation

Cataloging what moves, what is retired, and what is purchased new, then mapping every person and asset to a specific location in the new space.

03

Communications & Change Readiness

Preparing employees and stakeholders through targeted communications, move coordinator programs, and readiness initiatives, so your people arrive at move day informed and confident.

04

Vendor Coordination

Selecting and managing movers, installers, technology teams, and decommissioning crews, holding every vendor to one schedule and one standard.

05

Technology & Infrastructure

Coordinating the disconnect and reconnect of IT, AV, and telecom so systems are live and tested before your people arrive.

06

Move Day Execution

On-site leadership through the physical move: directing crews, solving problems in real time, and keeping the day on schedule from start to finish.

07

Day-One Readiness & Hypercare

Confirming every workstation, system, and space is ready for business, then staying on the floor with help desk support and daily issue tracking until the new space runs on its own.

08

Decommissioning

Closing out the space you leave behind: furniture disposition with a priority on reuse, resale, and donation, technology and cabling removal, restoration oversight, and the final landlord walkthrough that protects your lease obligations.

The Relocation Difference

Your Team Works. We Handle the Move.

A relocation can consume an internal team for months and still go sideways on move day. The planning is relentless, the vendors are many, and the deadline does not flex. Most organizations do not have the bandwidth or the experience to run it alongside their day jobs.

We do this for a living. We take the entire relocation off your plate, manage every vendor and every detail, and stand on site on move day so problems get solved before they reach you. Your people stay focused on their work, right up to the moment they sit down in the new space.

Experience
