Receive Deliver Install

Commercial furniture installation process from warehouse receiving to office installation
Behind the Scenes at RDI: From Receiving Dock to Final Placement

As a project manager, your reputation depends on how smoothly every stage of an office installation unfolds. You’re balancing client expectations, tight timelines, and multiple vendors — and the last thing you need is uncertainty about what happens once the furniture leaves the manufacturer.

At RDI – ReceiveDeliverInstall, our process is designed to remove the guesswork. From receiving and warehousing to delivery and final installation, we handle each step with precision so you can focus on managing the big picture.

Step 1: Receiving & Inspection

Every successful project begins at our dock. When product arrives from the manufacturer, our warehouse team:

  • Inspects all items for accuracy and visible damage.
  • Verifies shipments against packing slips and project paperwork.
  • Tags and organizes items by project to keep everything streamlined.

This early step gives project managers peace of mind — problems are flagged before delivery, not on installation day.

Step 2: Secure Warehousing

Not every project is ready for furniture the moment it arrives. That’s why RDI offers safe storage until your timeline calls for installation. We:

  • Track and manage inventory in our system.

  • Provide 30 days of storage included with our services.

  • Keep product secure and accessible for phased or scheduled deliveries.

We recently moved into a brand-new, expanded warehouse. This upgrade means more space for product, streamlined operations, and even greater efficiency on your projects.

Step 3: Delivery & Site Logistics

When your project is ready, we move product from warehouse to jobsite with efficiency and care. Our crews:

  • Coordinate access details like badging, docks, elevators, and parking.
  • Stage furniture in designated areas for minimal disruption.
  • Take precautions to help protect walls, floors, and property during the move.

Because we’ve worked in facilities across Missouri and Illinois for decades, we already hold credentials for many secure or restricted buildings — saving you time with approvals.

Step 4: Professional Installation

This is where your design vision becomes reality. Our installers:

  • Follow your layout plans with precision.
  • Assemble, level, and align furniture for a finished, professional look.
  • Coordinate with other trades to keep the project moving.
  • Walk through with you at the end to confirm everything is placed exactly as expected.

The goal: zero surprises for you or your client.

Why This Process Matters for Project Managers

When you partner with RDI, you gain more than an installation crew — you gain a logistics partner who understands what’s at stake for your client relationships. Our process ensures:

  • No delays from damaged or missing product.
  • No confusion about where items are or when they’ll arrive.
  • No stress on install day thanks to clear communication and professional crews.

Simply put, we remove the friction so you can deliver a flawless experience to your client.
