Laboratory Relocation Project Management
Taking care of your relocation
As the largest and leading provider of laboratory relocation services in the UK, Harrow Green brings unequalled expertise in planning and executing complex laboratory moves. Our full-time employed, highly-skilled pool of project managers understand not only logistics and stakeholder engagement but also the technical demands of research environments, including GxP, HTA and UKAS 17025-accredited laboratory standards.
Strategic planning for science and research
In the life sciences and research sector, relocation is far more than simply moving bench surfaces or equipment racks. Our laboratory logistics services cover the full lifecycle from the earliest planning workshops with lab managers, researchers and senior stakeholders through to handover of the new facility. Our approach centres on communication, governance and stakeholder engagement: we map workflows, define asset lists, coordinate with OEMs and integrate the logistics planning into your laboratory supply chain and equipment schedule.
Logistics planning to minimise downtime
Minimising research downtime is critical. Our laboratory logistics project management team develops detailed timelines, resource plans and logistics sequencing so equipment de-installation, transport, unpacking, re-installation and commissioning are optimised. We interface with facilities, procurement, quality assurance and lab operations to track every asset and ensure your operations resume with minimal disruption. We lead the move project, manage contractors and ensure that your new laboratory is ready in line with your business goals.
Technical expertise for complex laboratory environments
Our project managers are embedded specialists in laboratory relocation planning and execution in GxP, regulated research and UKAS 17025 contexts. They understand instrumentation, environment requirements, vibration isolation, utilities and bespoke connections, enabling coordination with OEMs, vendors and third-party engineers. From cold chain assets and cryogenic stores to high-end analytical instrumentation, we deliver move-planning that safeguards scientific integrity.
Key stakeholder engagement
Successful laboratory relocation requires alignment across multiple stakeholders: lab directors, research staff, facilities and services teams, IT, procurement and external OEM / TPV engineers. Our approach ensures a single point of contact, the dedicated Project Manager, who leads stakeholder workshops, communicates change control, manages risk, and controls the project scope. This integrated governance approach supports seamless relocation and commissioning of scientific research labs.
