Your physical relocation is a major step in the process to bringing your new office to life. You want your employees to feel excited and energized on day one in the new space.

There are three common consultants hired to run a construction project: Project Managers (PM), Construction Managers (CM), and General Contractors (GC). The differences between these job descriptions are distinct, but they are often and easily confused.

Exude recently moved from Race Street in Philadelphia to Chestnut Street. The employees rave about the amenities of their amazing new space.

Watchdog orchestrated Exude’s move from Race Street in Philadelphia to Chestnut Street. Exude Founder and CEO Marcus Lopez called Watchdog’s involvement “instrumental.”

Exude’s previous location on Race Street in Philadelphia consisted of twenty-two private offices. Their new location on Chestnut Street is drastically different—it has none.

Exude moved to a new location on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia with the assistance of Watchdog. The move was a result of Exude’s growth and desire for more open areas.

The purchase of furniture tends to be one of the largest on a corporate real estate project. Watchdog recommends clients spend time and due diligence up-front in the procurement process that reflects the value of the purchase.

A major aspect of project management is controlling communication that is received by the client. Watchdog functions in whatever the capacity the client feels will most benefit their project.

Watchdog recently completed the new 17,000 sq. ft. Campbell’s Soup Family Center in Camden, New Jersey, which includes thirteen classrooms for newborns through Kindergarten.

Watchdog’s role as the owner’s representative is to learn the processes and procedures currently in place that work for the client. By doing so, they can provide support and integrate into the culture to make clients’ lives easier.

A stay in place renovation is a project where a client does not move to a new building. Instead, they stay in a building currently occupied while it is under construction.

Watchdog moved GeoBlue out of multiple offices and suites into their new headquarters in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania which was completed in June 2017. It was important that their new location have amenities geared toward employee health and wellness.

When people “go global,” they can reach their professional and personal aspirations. Also, when people feel secure with their healthcare they can achieve more. GeoBlue’s purpose is to provide a simple, international healthcare experience.

By working closely with GeoBlue’s teams, Watchdog ensured the process was streamlined and the sequencing of the phases aligned with business operations.
