Office Space Planning Services
Relocation Services Inc. (RSI) plans office layouts before anything moves. RSI measures your space on site and draws several layout options in CAD, so you can choose a floor plan that fits your team. The same company then moves and installs the furniture. RSI is based in Aurora and serves Chicagoland and the Midwest. Call (630) 978-0800.
What Is Office Space Planning?
Office space planning is deciding where every workstation, private office, conference room and storage unit goes before the furniture arrives. A good plan fits the people you have, the work they do and the space you’re paying for.
It’s done on a floor plan drawn to scale. That shows things a sketch can’t: whether aisles are wide enough, whether a desk blocks a door, and exactly how many stations a room holds.
What Does RSI’s Space Planning Service Include?
RSI’s space planning service includes an on-site visit, measurements, and several CAD layout options built around how your office works.
- Site visit and measurements. RSI comes to the space and measures it.
- Several layout options. You see more than one way to arrange the floor.
- CAD drawings. Each option is drawn to scale.
- Advice from a space planner. An RSI planner walks you through how a productive office should be laid out.
RSI works on projects of every size, from a few offices to full floors.
When Should a Business Plan Its Office Space?
Plan the space before you commit to anything expensive: a lease, a furniture order or a move date. Changing a drawing is cheap. Changing a finished install isn’t.
Common times to plan:
- Before a move. Confirm the new space fits your team and furniture.
- Before ordering furniture. Make sure the order matches the room.
- When the team grows or shrinks. Add stations or open up space you no longer need.
- When work patterns change. Hybrid teams often need fewer assigned desks and more meeting room.
How Does a Space Plan Help on Move Day?
A CAD space plan tells the crew exactly where each piece goes, so installation follows a drawing instead of guesswork. Furniture is labeled to match the plan before it leaves the old space.
That’s the advantage of planning with the company that does the move. The planner, the movers and the installers work from the same drawing. See our office relocation services and office furniture installation.

Yes. RSI can plan a layout around the furniture you already own, mixing reused pieces with anything new. That often makes the most of furniture you’ve already paid for.
Panel systems can usually be rearranged into new configurations. The plan shows how your current pieces fit the new room before anything gets taken apart.

Frequently Asked Questions About Office Space Planning
Do you come to our office to measure?
Yes. RSI visits your location and measures the space before drawing any layouts. Plans are built from those measurements.
How many layout options will we see?
RSI provides several room design options, so you can compare approaches. The final plan is refined from the one you choose.
Can you plan a layout for our existing cubicles?
Yes. RSI can plan around your current workstations and other furniture. The layout shows how they’ll fit before anything is taken apart.
Do you only plan, or do you also move and install?
RSI does both. The same company that draws the plan can move your furniture and install it to the drawing.
Do you work on small offices?
Yes. RSI works on projects of every size, from a few rooms to full floors.
Is space planning only for moves?
No. Many businesses plan a reconfiguration in their current office, especially when headcount changes or the team moves to hybrid work.
