Model Home Installation Prep Checklist

Before Scheduling:

• Confirm your construction is fully complete (including flooring, electrical, and HVAC)

• Schedule final touch-ups and walk-throughs before furniture arrives

Installation Day Prep:

• Clear the space of debris and construction tools

• Ensure utilities (electricity, lighting, HVAC) are active

• Provide final floor plans, staging guides, or visual references

• Reserve loading dock or provide direct parking access

• Share gate codes, access keys, or escort details

Final Review:

• Designate a point of contact for installation supervision

• Walk through placement and confirm satisfaction before sign-off

• Identify any adjustments or follow-up needs on-site

Tip for Builders:

Plan your art and mirror installation after all painting and lighting is complete—this avoids rework and wall damage.
