Costs:

This service is in two parts:

A fixed project cost = $1,000

This cost covers costs that are part of any move.  This includes things like project management work related to coordinating the IT aspect of a move.

A per person cost = $250 / person

This cost covers the labor involved in coordinating and verifying the IT and AV assets in the move. 
This includes but not limited to: 

  • Inventory of existing assets
  • existing equipment assessments
  • ordering replacement equipment as needed
  • IT and AV support labor as part of the move process.

How to calculate the cost for this service:

Example: I am moving 30 people from one location to another.

Total project cost = Fixed Project Cost + (Number of people x the per person cost)

Total Project Cost = $1,000 + (30 people x $250) = $8,500
