Is your business expanding, contracting, refurbishing or looking for new premises elsewhere? There are a small number of websites that deal with relocation, from investment agencies that want you to locate in their region, to service providers able to project plan and manage the move for you.
Site Selection
www.siteselection.com
US website which deals primarily with large US-based companies looking to move or expand. The site contains a large amount of information such as investment guides, news, and supplier information, for so called 'expansion planning decision-makers' including chief executives, corporate real estate executives, facility planners, human resource managers and consultants.
    + large amount of information
    - predominantly US-based information catering to larger corporations and major deals
    - relatively cluttered homepage.

Office IQ
www.officeiq.co.uk
Office IQ is a UK-based interactive website operated by Property Futures, designed to help guide the user through each stage of an office move or refurbishment. The service is free and the website contains a number of useful web applications including a space calculator, budget tool and project planner.

    + practical & informative service
    - registration (free) required to use some of the tools (free)
    + logical design & structure.

Relocation Journal
www.relojournal.com
Online version of a US moves and relocation journal. The online features are mainly concerned with the human resource perspective but some look relocation from the real estate point of view.

    + large archive of articles
    - largely US-based information
    - poor design and structure.
