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.”

Dene Dresch Nidiffer, IIDA – Principal and Project Manager for the Indiana Convention Center Expansion FF&E Team

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.”
