On behalf of owners and in partnership with project teams, we are a key partner to successful project execution. By working with owners to organize their assets and inventory, track their procured items, and coordinate their complex moves, we eliminate much of the stress associated with residential construction. Each project is unique, but our experience in home organization, inventory management, and tracking & deployment of owner-direct purchases limits the risks and provides comfort to owners, estates, and household management teams.
Inventory of residence’s items
Organization of owner’s belongings
Re-Form Consulting first begins with a full inventory of all items in a residence or estate. We take photographs of everything in the residence, along with dimensions, and import all of the information into a shared document that architects, designers, contractors, and vendors have access to. The live document can be referenced at any point in the project life-cycle and becomes a critically important tool in the deployment program.
We work directly with owners or their household management staff to determine what items need to be retained, which will be replaced, and what items will be donated or relocated. We are also capable of coordinating “second use” or philanthropic donations.
Vendor coordination for owner purchases
Assessment and tracking of newly purchased items
Every residential project has new purchases that may include furniture, rugs, art pieces, appliances, & etc. These items may need to go through customs, have long lead times, or require site preparation prior to their installation. We partner with the project team and owner to provide a consolidated delivery schedule for each of the items that have been procured.
In order to develop our deployment program, the project team and owner need to understand when their purchased items are going to arrive. We partner with the owner’s vendors to assess, track, and coordinate important items that have been purchased, when they ship, when they’ll arrive, and where they will be stored.
Move planning, coordination, and vendor management
Storage and deployment program for new and existing owner items
Once our clients have purged their existing belongings and determined what needs to be kept, we use our shared inventory documentation to evaluate what needs to be stored temporarily. Using our network of move vendors, we coordinate short and long-term storage of owner items and determine what needs to be deployed back to the home or estate when the project is ready. In partnership with the owner’s vendors and project team, we develop a logistics plan and strategy to blend the new items with the old at the precise time the project is ready to receive the deliveries..
Using the shared inventory we have developed in conjunction with the owner and household management staff, we coordinate and plan all move activities, as needed. We obtain cost proposals for evaluation, schedule walkthroughs, assess timelines, and evaluate any risks associated with the move and deployment projects for the home or estate.
White glove move-in experience
After planning and coordinating the move and deployment projects, we can be on-site to act as the liaison between the move staff, the owner, and the household management team. As an extension of the owner and household staff, we understand the scope, timeline, and nuances of the home or estate and can provide direction to the move crews so that owners have the peace of mind to know that they won’t be continually interrupted on the first day in their new residence.
