Real-Life Tips for a Smooth Transition
Whether you’re relocating, renovating, or redesigning your workspace, preparing your office for a furniture installation project is a critical step toward ensuring everything goes off without a hitch. At G&L Installations, we specialize in office furniture setup and professional commercial installation services throughout Houston and across Texas. With decades of experience under our belt, we’ve seen what works—and what doesn’t.
Here are real-life, expert-backed tips to help you prepare your office and team for a seamless and stress-free installation day.
1. Evaluate Your Space Before Delivery Day
Before a single box is unloaded, walk your space. Measure dimensions, check doorways, and make sure hallways are clear. Are the elevators working? Are there loading dock instructions your installer needs? Doing a full walkthrough helps you avoid costly delays and last-minute surprises.
Pro Tip: Share your floor plan with your installer in advance—at G&L Installations, we offer pre-project consultations for exactly this reason.
2. Assign a Point of Contact (POC)
Designate someone from your team to be on-site during installation. This POC should be familiar with your office layout, priorities, and the project schedule. Clear communication between your staff and the installation team prevents missteps and confusion.
Bonus: This is especially helpful when multiple departments are involved or if you’re coordinating remotely.
3. Label, Tag, and Color Code Everything
Want to reduce setup time by hours? Use colored labels or stickers to tag where each workstation, cubicle, desk, or conference table goes. This simple prep work makes your office furniture setup fast, accurate, and efficient.
4. Plan for Power and Connectivity
Installing new desks or workstations? Don’t forget the commercial installation tips that matter most: access to power, data ports, and Wi-Fi. Coordinate with your IT team or contractor in advance to ensure all cabling and outlets are ready
