What are Lab Relocation Services


Lab relocation services involve much more than simply moving equipment. They require careful planning and management to safely transport sensitive instruments, chemicals, and supplies while ensuring compliance and staying on schedule.


These projects depend on close coordination between teams, vendors, and facility managers. Every part of the laboratory move must be handled with precision, including the relocation of equipment, the setup of new office space, and the integration of updated inventory systems.


Lab relocations are complex, high-stakes efforts designed to protect research, reduce downtime, and keep scientific work moving forward.


LAB RELOCATION SERVICES OVERVIEW

Why Professional Lab Relocation Services Matter

Downtime

Lab relocations can become costly when landing site requirements are missed and the job isn't done right the first time, leading to delays and unexpected expenses..

What's the cost?

Lost productivity, lost revenue, lost clients and a lost reputation can easily be the consequences of a disorganized relocation.

Peace of Mind

Peace of mind means leaving lab relocations to the experts. Relocations are one of the most critical and costly events in the life of the business. Why take the chance?

Experience Counts

Overbrook personnel are uniquely qualified to manage and support your lab relocation, as we specialize in providing expert lab relocation services.


Whether with your Client Group, Design Group or Construction Group, our protocols, plans and processes insure an operationally sound laboratory relocation plan with the lab moving team, scientists, facilities personnel and outside vendors.

Relocations are Full Time Jobs

Most laboratory personnel assigned to the relocation already have full time jobs, increasing the risk of something being omitted or overlooked. The devil is in the details.


Those labs that attempt to absorb the burden of managing a lab relocation internally, quickly regret it. You already have a full-time job so adding the intricacies of relocating a lab denies you of the peace of mind required to carry out your daily responsibilities.

Lab Relocation Services for Lab Managers

Lab Managers play a critical role in ensuring that scientific operations run smoothly, managing daily workflows, staff, and research output. When a lab faces relocation, the added responsibility can quickly become overwhelming and increase the risk of costly mistakes, delays, and disruptions to productivity.


Bringing in a lab relocation specialist early in the planning process, ideally before a new location is even selected, helps mitigate these risks. With the right expertise, specialists handle technical logistics, safeguard sensitive equipment, and coordinate asset tracking and infrastructure needs. Their involvement allows lab managers to stay focused on science while ensuring a smooth, efficient, and secure transition to the new space.

Lab Relocation Services for Facilities Managers

Facilities Managers are skilled at keeping building systems and maintenance running efficiently, but relocating a laboratory introduces a level of complexity that extends beyond standard operations. From specialized gas lines and power loads to ventilation, clearance, and infrastructure alignment, lab environments come with unique technical demands. A lab relocation specialist helps bridge the gap between lab users and building systems, ensuring every detail is accounted for.


Involving a specialist at the beginning of the planning or construction phase helps prevent costly mistakes such as utility mismatches or last-minute change orders. The relocation expert works closely with vendors, architects, and construction teams to validate infrastructure needs and coordinate technical requirements. This partnership allows Facilities Managers to stay focused on current operations while ensuring the new space is designed to fully support lab functions from the start.

Lab Relocations for Architects & Engineers

Architects and engineers play a critical role in shaping lab environments, but successful lab design goes beyond standard floor plans and utility grids. Each piece of lab equipment has unique specifications such as power requirements, gas hookups, clearance dimensions, and workflow dependencies that directly impact space planning and system layouts. A lab relocation specialist provides this detailed data, ensuring the design supports both functionality and safety from the start.


Bringing a specialist into the process during early schematic planning helps prevent costly design revisions, delays, and miscommunications later in the project. With accurate equipment specifications in hand, architects and engineers can create lab spaces that align with operational needs, streamline collaboration with clients, and stay on schedule and within budget.

Lab Relocations for Venture Capital & Real Estate

Venture capitalists have a lot at stake when investing in laboratory spaces. These projects involve high-value equipment, strict regulatory requirements, and complex operational demands. A lab relocation specialist helps protect that investment by ensuring labs are planned, relocated, and launched with precision. Their oversight helps prevent costly delays, equipment issues, and tenant dissatisfaction that can impact financial returns and long-term success.


Involving a specialist early in the process, before leases are signed or spaces are built out, ensures that timelines, budgets, and tenant needs are aligned from the beginning. The specialist helps deliver labs that are compliant, move-in ready, and fully operational on schedule. This reduces risk, builds tenant trust, and allows scientists to stay focused on their work.
