01

Share the exact item

A product link or model number tells more than a general description. Mention the number of items and whether they are new, partly assembled or being moved. Maz can use that information to discuss the scope.

02

Check the destination

Consider doorways, stairs and the room where the item will be used. Large items may need to be assembled in their final location. Mention any access restrictions or heavy pieces that may require additional planning.

03

Keep the packaging and instructions together

Leave parts, hardware and instructions organized until assembly is complete. If something appears missing or damaged, photograph it and mention it before the appointment. Replacement parts may need to come from the supplier.

04

Include finishing requirements

Some items have manufacturer instructions for anchoring, adjustments or setup. Share those requirements and discuss what is included. Agree on packaging handling and the final position as part of the project conversation.

Bring these to the conversation

  • What is the product name or model?
  • Where will the finished item go?
  • Are the parts and instructions available?
