How the Room Plan Helps with Delivery and Assembly
Learn how the Room Planner layout helps the Techne team deliver and assemble your furniture faster, with fewer errors and no unpleasant surprises.
When you order custom furniture, you think about colors, dimensions, and compartment layout. But have you ever wondered how the delivery and assembly team sees your order? For them, the difference between a smooth delivery and a problematic one often comes down to a single document: the room plan. With the Téchne Room Planner, you can generate this plan in minutes — and the benefits show at every stage, from production to final assembly.
Why the Room Plan Matters for the Delivery Team
Custom furniture is not an off-the-shelf product. Each piece has unique dimensions, and the room where it will be installed has its own obstacles: doors, windows, radiators, pillars. When the assembly team arrives at your home without a room plan, they have to improvise on the spot. Where does the wardrobe go? Does it fit on the left wall or does it need to move to the right? Is the radiator blocking part of the unit?
All these questions translate into lost time, decisions made under pressure, and sometimes costly mistakes. A room plan solves everything in advance — the team knows exactly what to expect before unloading the pieces from the truck.
What Our Team Sees: The SVG Plan and Parts List
When you use the Room Planner and attach the plan to your order, the Téchne team receives two essential pieces of information:
The 2D Room Plan (SVG)
This is a top-down view of your room, automatically generated by the Room Planner. The plan shows:
- Room dimensions — width and depth, in centimeters
- Position of each furniture piece — distance from walls, orientation, dimensions
- Fixed elements — doors (with opening indicator), windows, radiators, outlets
- Structural elements — support pillars, ceiling beams
- Free spaces — walking corridors, door opening zones
Essentially, it is a simplified architectural sketch, but sufficient for the team to understand the room without ever having been there.
The Parts List with Dimensions
Alongside the visual plan, the Room Planner also generates a detailed list of every piece in the scene: the custom name (if you set one), furniture type, exact dimensions (width x height x depth), and position in the room. This list is essential for the production team — it confirms that all pieces are correct before packaging.
The Client Note
The Room Planner allows you to add a free text note to the room plan. Here you can mention details the plan does not capture: “The entrance door opens to the left,” “The outlet behind the wardrobe powers the router — keep it accessible,” “The floor is not level in the right corner.” These notes reach the assembly team directly and make the difference between a flawless installation and one with compromises.
Concrete Advantages of the Plan for Delivery and Assembly
Faster Assembly
With the plan in hand, the assembly team no longer loses 20-30 minutes measuring the room, discussing with the client, and improvising positions. They know exactly where each piece goes — distance from the wall, height from the floor (for wall-mounted units), door orientation. The result: an assembly that takes 30-40% less time.
Fewer Errors
Assembly errors almost always stem from poor communication. “I thought the wardrobe goes on the other wall.” “I didn’t know there was a radiator here.” With the SVG plan, these misunderstandings disappear. Each piece has a clear position, validated by you in the Room Planner before ordering.
Happy Client, No Stress
Assembly day is often stressful — heavy furniture, workers in the house, dust, noise. When everything goes according to plan, stress drops dramatically. You no longer need to make decisions on the spot or move furniture from one place to another. Everything is already decided — and visually confirmed — from the moment you placed the order.
Protection for Both Sides
The room plan also works as a reference document. If a concern arises after assembly (“the wardrobe wasn’t supposed to be here”), both parties can consult the plan attached to the order. It is a simple but effective form of transparency.
How to Attach the Room Plan to Your Order
The process is straightforward and integrated directly into the purchase flow:
- Configure your furniture with the Téchne 3D configurator
- Add pieces to the cart and open the Room Planner
- Build your room — dimensions, doors, windows, installations
- Place the furniture from the cart into the scene and adjust positions
- At checkout, you will see a checkbox: “Attach room plan to order”
- Check it — the SVG plan, parts list, and your note are automatically included in the order sent to the team
You do not need to download anything manually, send separate emails, or attach files. Everything happens with a single click.
How to Access the Plan After Placing Your Order
Once the order is placed, the room plan remains accessible through two channels:
The Confirmation Email
In the order confirmation email, you will find a direct link to the room-map page. This displays the complete SVG plan, the parts list with dimensions, and your note. You can return to this link anytime — for example, to show the assembly team what you planned, right from your phone.
The Order Confirmation Page
Immediately after placing the order, the confirmation page also includes a visual summary of the plan. It is useful if you want to take a quick screenshot or verify everything looks correct before closing the browser.
The Dedicated Room-Map Page
Each order with an attached plan generates a unique room-map page, accessible through a permanent link. This page displays:
- The interactive SVG plan (zoom, pan)
- The complete parts list with dimensions and positions
- Your note added in the Room Planner
- Order details (number, date, status)
The link works on any device — laptop, phone, tablet — and can be shared with anyone involved in the project (partner, designer, assembly team).
From Screen to Reality
The room plan is not just a visualization tool — it is a bridge between your imagination and the production team’s work. When you create a plan in the Room Planner, you are not just making a nice sketch. You are creating an operational document that accelerates production, simplifies logistics, and guarantees that the furniture arrives exactly where it belongs.
Start now: configure your furniture with the 3D configurator, place it in your virtual room, and attach the plan to your order. The Téchne team will know exactly what to bring and where to install it — no phone calls, no last-minute measurements, no surprises.
