The Project Manager works closely with your facility personnel in planning moves, inventorying furniture, assessing needs and following up on all details.

Your Project Manager will supervise all deliveries and installations to ensure that the work is carried out in an efficient and timely manner according to your requirements. This work includes:

• Physical inspection of elevators
• Reservation of elevators, as required
• Physical inspection of loading dock

• Prepare and distribute written delivery schedule for elevator reservations and loading dock facilities.

Throughout the installation the project manager works with the lead installers to minimize the punchlist. Prior to client/design firm involvement, the project manager walks through with the lead installer to resolve any issues. The project manager then walks the project with the client and designer to review punchlist and add any client requests.

Logistical Planning

Transact is structured using a team approach, consisting of a Project Manager, Project Coordinator and Specifier. Their mission is to make your move as smooth as possible and ensure your new office is up and running quickly.
