Client name withheld. Figures are sample content for this demonstration website.
The constraint
- Client files carried strict confidentiality obligations and could not travel in a mixed load without a provable seal.
- The Melbourne tenancy was eleven weeks from practical completion when the Perth lease expired.
- Two jurisdictions, two building managers, two sets of access rules, one relocation manager.
The outcome
- Both consignments reconciled with zero exceptions against the item manifest.
- Seal numbers verified at delivery by the practice's office manager before any module was opened.
- The Melbourne office opened on the Monday after practical completion plus four days.
How we ran it
Records as their own sealed consignment
46 cubic metres of client files travelled as a separate sealed module set with seal numbers recorded at both ends and checked before opening.
Storage bridging the eleven weeks
The office consignment was held in Perth for six weeks, then in Melbourne for five, on a single weekly module rate quoted before either move.
One manager across both states
The same relocation manager lodged building access at both ends and briefed the Melbourne crew from the Perth runsheet.
What the client said
The seal numbers mattered to us more than the price. They were the only firm that led with them.
