What does a commercial project management firm like RSI actually do?

RSI serves as your independent advocate and coordinator throughout every phase of a commercial office relocation or construction project. Unlike a moving company or general contractor, we do not sell any direct services. We manage the entire process on your behalf, including conducting feasibility studies, creating and managing project schedules, selecting and overseeing vendors, coordinating IT and construction teams, and ensuring your new space is ready for occupancy on time and within budget. Our independence means every recommendation we make is based solely on what is best for your project and not on what is most profitable for a supplier.

How is RSI different from just hiring a moving company?

A moving company handles the physical transportation of your office contents. RSI manages everything else, and then the movers too. We start months before moving day with space planning, feasibility analysis, and lease negotiation support. We coordinate your IT infrastructure, construction vendors, furniture procurement, and decommissioning. We build a master project schedule and manage every milestone. When moving day arrives, it is just one step in a thoroughly planned process. The result is a faster, smoother, and more cost-effective transition than any business could achieve by piecing it together on their own.

What types of businesses does RSI typically work with?

RSI works with commercial businesses of all sizes, from growing small businesses relocating for the first time to large corporations managing multi-phase, multi-location transitions. Our clients span industries including professional services, healthcare, financial services, government and municipal agencies, staffing firms, and retail corporate offices. Whether you have 10 employees or 1,200, our project management approach is tailored to your specific size, timeline, budget, and operational needs. We are equally at home managing a single-floor office move in Charlotte as we are coordinating a nationwide rebranding and facilities rollout.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a commercial test fit and why does my business need one?

A commercial test fit is a detailed space planning exercise that shows exactly how a prospective office space will accommodate your business, your team, your furniture, and your operations. RSI produces a test fit before you commit to a lease or a build-out, giving you a clear and accurate picture of whether the space truly works for your business. Without a test fit, businesses regularly commit to spaces that are too small, too large, or simply not configured in a way that supports how they actually operate. A professional test fit from RSI eliminates that risk and gives you the confidence to make the right space decision.

How is RSI's test fitting service different from what a landlord or real estate broker provides?

Landlords and brokers have a financial interest in leasing you a space, which means their assessments are not always fully objective. RSI is completely independent. We have no financial relationship with any landlord, developer, or real estate broker, which means our test fits are built entirely around your business needs, not around closing a deal. We evaluate each space honestly, identify its limitations as clearly as its strengths, and give you the information you need to negotiate better lease terms or walk away from the wrong space entirely. That independence is what makes RSI's test fitting services uniquely valuable.

What does commercial interior design programming involve?

Programming is the process of documenting and analyzing your business's operational needs before any design work begins. RSI's programming process involves understanding how your team works, how many people need to be accommodated, what types of spaces are required such as private offices, open workstations, collaboration areas, and break rooms, and how your daily workflows move through the space. This information forms the foundation of your test fit and interior design plan, ensuring the final layout is not just aesthetically appealing but genuinely functional for the way your business operates every day.

Can RSI help with ADA compliance and building code requirements?

Yes. Code compliance and accessibility are core components of RSI's commercial interior design services. Our team ensures that every space plan and interior design recommendation meets all relevant building codes, safety regulations, and ADA accessibility standards. This is particularly important for businesses in regulated industries such as healthcare, government, and financial services, where compliance requirements can significantly impact space design. RSI addresses these requirements proactively, early in the planning process, so they never become a costly surprise during construction or occupancy. Learn more about our Construction Oversight services.
