Furniture assembly in Etobicoke splits between the condo towers at Humber Bay Shores and the post-war bungalows of Alderwood, Mimico and Islington. The tower jobs run on the building's clock. The bungalow jobs run on small bedrooms and old, narrow doorways.
In a tower, book the service elevator and tell me the window, and I will plan the visit around it and flatten every carton for the recycling room. In a house I unload at the door and build the piece in the room it belongs in.
In the Humber Bay and Mimico towers the loading dock, the service elevator and the moving window decide the whole day, so I want to know the booking before confirming a visit, and I flatten cartons on the spot because the recycling room will not swallow a full-size wardrobe box whole. Those living rooms are shallow between the balcony wall and the kitchen, which matters when a media unit is deeper than the wall it faces. Out in Alderwood and Islington the bedrooms are simply small.

Send the product names or a link for each item, plus how many of each. IKEA article numbers are ideal. That tells me the build time and whether a piece needs wall fixing or extra care getting it upright.
Have the flat packs in the room where the furniture is going, with a clear floor space beside them. Carrying a built wardrobe through a doorway rarely works, so the build happens where the piece will live.
Parts are laid out and counted first, then the carcass goes together and gets checked for square before the back panel is fixed. Doors and drawers are adjusted, feet levelled, and anything tall is strapped to the wall.
Boxes get flattened, foam and plastic bagged, and the lot leaves with me unless you want to keep it. Spare fittings are bagged and left with the instructions in case you move the piece later.
Build time is what you are paying for, and that varies more than people expect. A bedside table is quick. A tall wardrobe run with sliding doors is a serious afternoon. The number of pieces, the size of each one, whether the boxes are already in the right room, and how much wall anchoring is needed all count. Disassembly for a move usually takes less time than the original build. Whatever the list, the price or hourly rate is settled before I open a box.
Nothing starts before the price is agreed. Send a photo or two with your request and I can usually quote without a site visit.
For most single pieces, yes, provided the boxes are already inside the unit or waiting on the dock when I arrive. The elevator window is for moving, not for building, and once the cartons are in I can keep working after it closes. Tell me the booked time and the number of boxes and I will say honestly whether it fits.
