Delivery & Install Schedule
A dated schedule for every delivery and install — sequenced against freight windows and power readiness — so furniture arrives when the space can actually receive it.
Delivery & Install Schedule
Furniture arriving is good. Furniture arriving when there’s no freight elevator window, no one to receive it, or no power at the desks is a problem. This schedule sequences deliveries so the space can actually receive each one.
What it’s for
To put every delivery and install on a dated timeline that respects what has to be true first — freight booked, a receiver on site, and (for desks) power live. It’s the antidote to the classic miss: desks arrive but power isn’t ready, so installers leave and you reschedule.
How to use it
- Pull dates from the Furniture Order Tracker.
- For each, confirm the freight elevator window and a named receiver.
- Flag any dependency — especially power for workstations — before the date is set.
- Sequence so big/blocking items land before the things that sit on top of them.
The structure
| Date | Item / vendor | Type | Freight booked? | Receiver | Dependencies ready? | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 16 | Desks / Acme | Install | Yes | A. Lee | Power at desks ✓ | Confirmed |
| Jun 17 | Chairs / Acme | Delivery | Yes | A. Lee | — | Confirmed |
| Jun 18 | Conf. tables / Workspace | Install | Pending | A. Lee | AV rough-in ✓ | At risk |
Status values: Tentative · Confirmed · At risk · Done.
Tips
- Power before desks. Confirm workstation power is live before the desk install lands.
- A receiver for every delivery. “Someone will be there” is not a name.
- Stagger, don’t stack. Everything on one day overloads the dock and the elevator.
