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.
