Clear communication is key to a smooth installation. At RDI – ReceiveDeliverInstall, our proven step-by-step process keeps projects on track from the moment furniture leaves the manufacturer to the final walkthrough. Here’s what a typical installation timeline looks like.
Step 1: Receiving & Inspection
- Furniture shipments are sent directly to our secure warehouse.
- Our team inspects for damage, verifies quantities, and organizes product by project.
👉🏼 Catching issues early prevents costly delays on installation day and gives project managers time to address missing or damaged items with the manufacturer.
Step 2: Warehousing & Storage
- Product is stored safely in our facility until the job site is ready.
- Inventory is tracked and staged for delivery according to your schedule.
👉🏼 Clients don’t always have space on-site to receive large shipments. Warehousing gives you flexibility to coordinate with construction schedules, building access, or phased move-ins.
Step 3: Delivery & Site Access
- Our crews transport product to the site, coordinating with security, elevators, docks, and staging areas.
- Protective measures are used wherever possible to minimize impact on walls, floors, and property.
👉🏼 Smooth access planning reduces downtime and prevents disruption for tenants, employees, or other trades working in the space.
Step 4: Installation & Assembly
- Furniture is assembled, leveled, and installed according to the approved layout plan.
- Installers work around other trades if needed and keep the space organized as the project progresses.
👉🏼This is where the design vision comes to life. Attention to detail ensures furniture is functional, aligned, and professional in appearance.
Step 5: Final Clean & Project Closeout
- All packaging and debris generated by RDI is removed, and our team wipes down surfaces and furniture so the space is clean, safe, and ready for use.
- A project lead receives signed paperwork from the onsite contact and communicates any issues with the project manager. Then, our office staff sends the signed paperwork along with any punch items.
👉🏼 The walkthrough is your opportunity to verify that expectations were met — and your client’s chance to see the finished product exactly as designed.
Why This Timeline Works
RDI takes the guesswork out of installation day, giving project managers a clear, professional process from receiving to walkthrough. A clear timeline builds trust, minimizes disruption, and ensures every workspace is ready to perform.
Keep your next project on time and stress-free.
