Access and scheduling
Most boutiques have one front door, a narrow back room, and a neighbor on each side, so the plan starts with the doorway. We measure the widest case, the tallest armoire, and the mirror boxes against both entrances and every turn. Shops in older buildings sometimes have a door that looks wide but has a step, a tight vestibule, or a transom that limits height.
Most shops close one or two days a week, and those days are the natural move window. Starting after closing on your last day at the old address, or moving on a weekend, keeps the floor dark for the least time. If you are in a managed center, check with the center’s management on the permitted door and hours and whether they need a certificate of insurance first. Book your electrician for the day after the move, so track and case wiring is finished before the displays are dressed.
