Moved into a new apartment: which jobs should be combined in one visit
Once the boxes arrive, it is tempting to hang the curtains and assemble everything at once. A little sequencing prevents measuring and drilling twice.
Plan the rooms first
Decide where the bed, wardrobe, sofa and table will go. After the larger items are assembled and placed, it is easier to choose the final positions for shelves, a mirror, curtain rails or a TV bracket. List assembly, wall mounting and small adjustments separately so the scope is clear.
What to send before booking
Prepare a room-by-room list. Include product models or instructions, dimensions, photos of each item and the intended installation area. For wall-mounted items, send a wide photo of the wall and a close-up of its surface. Mention tile or delicate finishes before drilling is discussed.
Agree what the visit includes
Delivery, carrying heavy items, packaging removal, moving electrical points and plumbing are not automatically part of furniture assembly. Confirm the exact tasks in advance. Electrical and gas work should be handled by appropriately qualified professionals.
A common mistake
Do not schedule final drilling before the furniture is assembled and in its final position. If some items are still being delivered, say so when requesting a visit and agree on a sequence that fits the actual delivery status.
