Relocation Strategies, Inc. Completes FF&E Package for New Convention Center

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Relocation Strategies, Inc. completes Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment Package for the New Indiana Convention Center to be installed this Fall.  Indianapolis will soon house one of the nation’s top 20 largest convention center complexes.  The combination of the Lucas Oil Stadium and an expanded Indiana Convention Center enables Indianapolis to offer 3.4 million square feet of exhibit and meeting space.  The combined new space will make the Indiana Convention Center the nation’s 16th largest, bringing it up the charts from its current position at 32nd largest.

The Indiana Convention Center will have 566,600 square feet of exhibit space. The new exhibit halls are contiguous with the existing halls. Lucas Oil Stadium provides another 183,000 square feet, and will be connected to the center via walkway.

Lucas Oil Stadium, with 63,000 permanent seats, features a retractable roof that allows for multiple uses in addition to serving as the home of the 2006 Super Bowl champion Indianapolis Colts.  The RCA Dome closed in April 2008 and has been demolished.  The Indiana Convention Center expansion will sit on the RCA Dome footprint.

“Under Ratio Architects’ direction, we were hired as the lead team member for the specification of the Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) for the Indiana Convention Center Expansion in Indianapolis.  We subsequently hired Relocation Strategies, a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) firm, to assist us in the specification writing documentation and installation of all Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E) to ultimately be placed within the new facility.   Although the work is not yet complete, we have been very satisfied with the progress to date from Relocation Strategies Inc and look forward to a smooth installation as well.”

Case Study: Rheumatology Associates

Friday, September 25th, 2009

 

When companies move, it has to be as orderly and non-disruptive as possible to the flow of business, and it has to be quick. Time was of the essence when Bremner Duke hired Relocation Strategies, Inc. to move Rheumatology Associates to its new location so all parties involved could transfer their offices and commence with their business. RSI acted as the move manager for Rheumatology Associates, a company of five doctors and two nurse practitioners plus administrative staff specializing in treating people afflicted with more than 100 forms of arthritis and related disorders of the joints, muscles and bones.

 

After conducting a furniture inventory and determining what new furniture was needed in the new 11,000 square foot space, RSI wrote the Request for Proposal and analyzed bids in search of the best price and quality.

“The service provided by Relocation Strategies was immeasurable.  Costs were reduced by the inventory taken of our existing furniture for re-use, valuable time was saved with the multiple quotes obtained.  The relocation team coordinated every step of our move from beginning to end.  Their dedication and attention to even the smallest detail allowed our physicians and staff to continue working until the day of our move.”

Case Study: SMC Corporation

Friday, September 25th, 2009

 

SMC CORPORATION has long been a leader in pneumatic technology, providing industry with technology and products to support automation based on the guiding principle of “contributing to automation labor savings in industry.”

 

SMC Corporation’s offers a vast array of products engineered to meet applications in every market sector. From semiconductor to automotive, medical to petroleum, the company’s pneumatic products are designed to fit the unique automation requirements of its customers.

 

The company is currently relocating its headquarters from two adjacent Indianapolis locations to one significantly larger building in Noblesville. The new facility has 800,000 square feet, and four simultaneous moves will be conducted over 8 weeks in May and June.  One eighth of each manufacturing area will be moved over each of the eight weeks. The multi-phase warehouse move will be composed of four moves, which include the relocation of (1) Inventory, or “raw product” of 5,000 skids, which translates into about 225 tractor trailer loads of skids, (2) Rigging/Entities, which includes over 100 manufacturing pieces of heavy rigging machinery and equipment (3) Finished product of 2,000 skids and (4) the company’s 600 employees.

 

Teamwork is required on the part of Relocation Strategies, Inc. Inventory, manufacturing equipment, and entities are being coordinated by David Bayse of RSI, who compares his role to that of a wedding planner. He has to understand all the logistics and manage every detail of the warehouse move while Melissa Lamb Brown oversees the content move, which includes everything from furniture and chairs to work stations and file cabinets. 

 

RSI also assisted SMC by performing a cost analysis about whether it was in the company’s best interest to take its existing furniture, and concluded that it was best to leave it as an incentive for the purchase of the former location(s). RSI is coordinating furniture acquisition of nearly 500 new work stations.

 

SMC is confident that its new location will allow ample production capacity for equipment and employees, leading to future growth of the company.

A Moving Success for 20 Years

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

INDIANAPOLIS- Celebrating its 20th year, Relocation Strategies, Inc. has orchestrated corporate moves involving offices, warehouses, laboratories and hospitals ranging from a handful to hundreds of employees.

RSI is like a wedding planner for moves, according to David Bayse, president and owner. RSI helps plan and coordinate all details, such as creating an overall budget, bidding out the movers and furniture and helping make sure that everything—phones, data/cabling, server room—is ready when the client arrives in the new space.

The Indianapolis company has coordinated moves for hundreds of customers ranging in size from 500 to 1.4 million square feet, since former Mayflower employee Bayse founded RSI on December 8, 1986. Today, about half of the company’s business is across the country and revenues have doubled since full-service project management was added in 2004.

As a result of senior project manager Jeff Freeman’s contribution, RSI’s client roster reads like a Who’s Who of Indiana-based national and international Fortune 500 clients. Repeat customers make up 40 percent of the firm’s business because of its ability to tailor services to meet client’s needs.

RSI recently won a “Monumental” Award and an IIDA “IDEA” Award in conjunction with an architectural firm for Pratt Corporation. Melissa Brown, a project manager, consolidated 90 percent of the firm’s existing furniture from three locations into one facility and saved Pratt thousands of dollars on new furniture. The multi-phased move prevented downtime and allowed Pratt to smoothly transition into their new facility.

For RSI’s next 20 years, Bayse envisions continued growth and more out-of-state work, as satisfied national companies, based in Indianapolis, continue to direct moves in their other locations. He plans to standardize RSI’s information gathering procedures and strengthen internal organization and communication to best serve clients.

“It’s not just the move–it’s a matter of everything else that’s involved, A-Z,” Bayse said. “We’re like insurance or a security blanket for our clients.”
