Preparing the New Apartment Before the Furniture Arrives: A Practical List
The more ready the new apartment is before the date, the faster and less costly unloading and assembly are.

Cleaning and checking
Clean the apartment and check the floors, walls, electricity and plumbing before bringing in furniture; faults are easier to fix while the apartment is empty.
Measurements
Measure the doors, corridors, elevator and the places for wardrobes, the kitchen and air conditioners, and send the photos or plan so we decide where to install.
Electricity and water
Make sure electricity, water and the internet work before the move, because dismantling, assembly and running appliances need them.
Protecting floors and doors
Cover floors with cardboard or plastic, keep corridors clear, and coordinate with management about the elevator.
The room plan
Decide where each piece goes in each room and write it on a sheet hung on the door, so the team puts pieces in their places the first time. See also the preparation checklist.
Frequently asked questions
Should I move the furniture before finishing is done?
It is better after the dusty work and painting are finished, so you avoid scratches and dust. If the site is not ready, ask about secure storage.
Who installs the air conditioner?
Our team dismantles and installs air conditioners, provided electricity and the required preparations are ready.
