Occupancy and Move Management are where TCC separates ourselves from the competition. So often, a Project Management firm will get you through Certificate of Occupancy, but you, the owner is left with a vacant building. At TCC, we understand the lift it takes to oversee and manage end users expectation, deliveries, wind down/ramp up plans, and moves, all while trying to deliver your mission.TCC helps manage early on change management planning as well as all aspects of your move and occupancy efforts from close out to operational readiness. Using our proactive, detailed, and strategic approach, we ensure a seamless hand off from construction activities to go-live, providing a true owners representative experience.What does that mean for you? It means our team will build out an Activation or Occupancy Schedule that will include activities for the early occupiers. These are teams that are the first in the building and require an extra level of coordination to make sure we have inspections, equipment, and supplies. TCC also works directly with vendors to ensure delivery times and dock coordination. Loading in a building is no small task – you can’t have the patient room couches arrive after the beds, or computers deployed before desks or wall mounted arms. This attention to detail in coordination with the overall construction schedule provides a seamless transition from construction to building load in ultimately saving you time, money, and operational issues that delay your ability to conduct your revenue generating business operations.BUILDING LOADIN LOGISTICS

THE CARLIN COLLABORATIVEEquipment selection, procurement, and coordination are critical to a projects success. Early on design coordination with equipment and vendors minimizes the need for costly changes during construction. Our team members have experience with highly specialized equipment and an in-depth understanding of how they relate to the operations of the spaces being designed. TCC’s Vendor & Equipment Coordination services will help your team coordinate key decisions, procurement and installation milestones, as well as training and turnover.Equipment and vendor coordination is so crucial from start to finish. TCC has established relationships with many equipment vendors and first hand experience with specific equipment requirements. and will work to ensure the design team understands the complexities of the new equipment coming in, or existing equipment that will be relocated during the move phase. Furniture timing and installation need to be carefully choreographed to eliminate the potential for any damage and properly coordinate infrastructure and user requirements. The last part is training. When it comes to new equipment, it’s important for there to be training to ensure a smooth transition into their new workflow or processes. TCC understands the regulatory requirements for training and proper turn-over of newly installed equipment. By holding your vendors accountable for all contract requirements, we will ensure that your equipment is working properly prior to go live, your regulatory inspections are successful, and you obtain everything you are owed by your vendors.VENDOR + EQUIPMENT COORDINATION

Move Management is the grand finale of each project. It is the last step before go-live and presenting your new facility or space to the public. Our team is experienced in moving a variety of spaces including patient rooms, operating rooms, labs, pharmacies, office space, and even patients when needed. So often movers are hired to support the move, but having an experienced Owner’s Rep in this phase is invaluable and ensure that the operational considerations that most movers will not think of, are addressed prior to go-live.When moving complex spaces, considerations need to be made for validation, commissioning, and testing of equipment, transitioning, programing, and training for IT and support services.. TCC will coordinate directly with your internal teams, vendors, movers, and all support units to make sure there is a clear and efficient communication plan to ensure all stake holders always have real time data to ensure that all of your occupancy and move activities are successfully deployed without interruption to your operations.MOVE MANAGEMENT + OCCUPANCY
