When Do You Need to Move In?
Once we know your desired move-in date, we can work backwards and create a timeline that aligns with your schedule.
You should keep these questions in mind:
- What is my desired move-in date?
- Is there a construction schedule?
- How long will it take me to make decisions?
Your move-in date may seem far away, but once we start building out the schedule, time moves quickly! For instance, let’s say your move-in date is September 1. A safe timeline is at least 6 months. Working backwards per this timeline for example, we’ve allotted 2 weeks for furniture delivery and installation, up to 12 weeks for furniture production (this can vary depending on the manufacturer and factory location), and we’ve already accounted for 14 weeks of the timeline. Where does the time go?!
If you have a tight schedule, we will recommend manufacturers that can best meet your deadline. That’s why we work with the end date in mind.
Design & Specification time can vary. How quickly can you make decisions? Do you anticipate a lot of back and forth on ideas, material sample review, updating drawings? Changes and reselections all add to the timeline.
Production time depends on the manufacturer. Some lead times are 4 weeks while others can be up to 20 weeks. Keep in mind that European factories close for the month of August. Remember that production starts once the manufacturer receives and acknowledges a Dealer's purchase order. Production time does not start when you sign the dotted line!
Your project manager at Benhar Office will be in constant communication with the factory for production and lead time updates.
