The right consulting company should be able to explain how it will handle your specific office project and its dependencies. Location matters for physical work, but it is only one part of the evaluation.
Present a realistic scenario
Describe a move, recurring network issue, or support transition that resembles your need. Ask what the consultant would inspect, which vendors it would involve, and what information must be confirmed before an estimate. Look for questions about business impact and access, not just equipment quantities.
Compare responsibility
Clarify whether the provider coordinates building management and external vendors or expects your staff to do so. Ask who manages the schedule, approves changes, and communicates delays. Identify work that requires a separate specialist.
Review the deliverables
An assessment should explain findings, priorities, and dependencies. An implementation should include agreed testing and a handover. Ask for documentation and account ownership to remain with the business, including when the relationship ends.
Check support after the project
Confirm how unresolved issues and recurring faults are handled. Distinguish included follow-up from a new support agreement. Avoid judging proposals only by an hourly rate when the scope differs.
