What Resource International does

Resource International, Inc. (Rii) is a full-service consulting, engineering, and construction services firm founded in 1973 in Ohio and led across three generations of the founding family. The firm operates through 10 divisions covering civil engineering, construction inspection and management, transportation, aviation, facilities, geotechnical and materials testing, non-destructive testing (including ground-penetrating radar), environmental services, and information technology. It serves public- and private-sector clients across 34 US states and three countries, with primary exposure to state departments of transportation, the FAA, K-12 school districts, universities, municipalities, and airports. With 160+ employees across seven offices in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Kentucky, Rii has executed long-duration programs including the $10.2 billion Ohio School Facilities Commission engagement, the $144 million Newark City Schools program, and inspection work covering $500M–$1B in annual project costs.

The firm differentiates through a proprietary software suite — ProjectGrid.com, iiCollector, CMW, PMS 4.0, and PAVER — used for capital program management, asset inventory, work order tracking, and pavement management, supplemented by ongoing third-party stewardship of Oracle WAM 1.9 after Oracle's end-of-life. Its Construction Inspection division delivers 100,000+ man-hours annually. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, AASHTO laboratory accreditation, WBENC women-owned business designation, and DOT prequalifications in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-based contracts with public agencies, structured around program and construction management engagements, fixed-fee engineering studies, and inspection man-hour billing, with the proprietary software suite increasingly serving as a differentiator in competitive RFPs. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven through state and municipal procurement channels, with multi-year program engagements and certifications functioning as gating requirements.
