Case Study | Paired Workplace Transitions
+Two sites, one coordinated response
TWO CITIES.OVERLAPPING MOVES.ONE DELIVERY TEAM.
ASI connected furniture, physical moves, decommissioning and workplace technology across two offices as shifting delivery dates compressed the execution window.

Challenge
The offices were initially planned as staggered transitions. Furniture timing changed, bringing the work into overlapping windows. Origin clearance, new-office installation and technology readiness had to stay aligned while freight access, door approvals and field changes constrained the sequence.
ASI Approach
ASI connected furniture pull and installation plans to separate field crews, move windows and specialist scopes. The team coordinated electrical, low voltage, AV, access control, finishes and furniture with the physical transition, then tracked punch work and later changes separately.
Results
- Two completed office transitions under one coordinated program
- Technology relocation and installation delivered at both destinations
- Test records, warranties and punch work carried through
BROWN AND CALDWELL
A workplace move is a chain of dependent decisions. Across San Diego and Phoenix, ASI connected what stayed, what moved, what was removed and what had to work in the receiving offices. The assignment extended from planning and trade coordination into installation, punch work and follow-up support.

Furniture planning and spatial coordination
TWO WORKPLACE PLANS. ONE CONNECTED DELIVERY PROGRAM.
The receiving-office plans connect retained furniture, new components, room layouts and circulation. These were the working interfaces between furniture decisions, power, technology, move sequencing and installation crews.
The ASI Delivery Model
FURNITURE TIMING SHIFTED. ASI REBUILT THE DELIVERY SEQUENCE.
The solution was not a single move crew. ASI aligned separate trade teams, furniture arrivals, building access and client technology requirements around a connected field plan.
Connect both site programs
Reconcile origin pull lists, receiving layouts and furniture availability. Reassign crews and trade windows as the two transitions move into overlapping schedules.
Sequence the physical transition
Coordinate people, contents, retained furniture and equipment with truck, dock and freight access. Keep decommissioning and destination installation moving in parallel.
Manage teardown and restoration
Coordinate furniture breakdown, electrical safe-off, defined cable removal, wall patching and drywall work with origin clearance. Preserve infrastructure approved to remain.
Integrate the receiving workplace
Connect low voltage, AV and conference systems to furniture placement and workplace reset. Coordinate testing, access control and acoustic-system interfaces.
Carry changes through closeout
Separate origin exit from receiving-office punch work. Coordinate return visits and evolving requirements through the responsible trade partners.
One Coordination Point
Furniture arrival did not operate on its own clock. ASI connected delivery, floor access, electrical disconnection, asset handling, room technology and field crews. Site-specific instructions carried the master schedule into each trade handoff.
ORIGIN EXIT AND DESTINATION PUNCH WORK WERE DISTINCT CONTROL POINTS.
The Outcome
TWO TRANSITIONS. CONNECTED SCOPES. ONE ACCOUNTABLE DELIVERY PARTNER.
ASI carried two overlapping office transitions from furniture plans and physical moves into installed workplace systems. Both destinations reached technology substantial completion, with test records, as-built documentation and contractor warranties supporting the delivery.
Separate local crews connected to the same program priorities.
Retained furniture and equipment coordinated with new components.
Moving, furniture, electrical, technology and restoration linked together.
What the Program Connected
A coordinated field response
Crew assignments, site access and furniture arrivals were reconciled as the original staggered schedule changed.
Asset decisions reached the floor
Pull lists and receiving plans connected furniture retention, installation, removal and the physical move.
Technology delivered and documented
Relocation and installation at both offices were backed by cable testing, as-built records and contractor warranties.
Punch work carried through
San Diego conference-system adjustments and Phoenix access-control and conference-cabling punch work were completed after the initial delivery stages.
One Accountable Partner. FROM FURNITURE PLANS TO WORKPLACE CLOSEOUT.
MOVING OFFICES WITH MULTIPLE TRADES IN PLAY?
Field Execution
THE WORKPLACE, NOT A SINGLE TRADE. CONNECTED FROM CLEARANCE TO RESET.
San Diego field views show the cleared workplace and interior circulation. Phoenix photography shows the furniture environment that tied retained assets to the wider workplace transition.
