Measure more than the footprint
Write down the room’s width, depth, and ceiling height. Photograph the intended location from more than one angle. Note door swings, nearby fixtures, and anything that limits movement around the cabin.
Then measure the delivery route: exterior doors, interior doors, stairways, landings, and tight turns. A cabin that fits its final room may still need a different delivery or assembly plan. Ask the supplier for packaged dimensions as well as assembled dimensions.
Let the exact model define the site requirements
Request the installation manual before committing to site work. Have the installer identify required clearances, ventilation, floor conditions, and service access. Do not assume a basement, garage, bathroom, or outdoor spot is suitable merely because the cabin fits.
Have a qualified electrician review the model’s electrical requirements and the proposed location. Keep equipment selection and electrical planning together; avoid buying an outlet adapter or assuming an existing circuit will be sufficient.
Ask locally about approvals
For a project in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, or Pennsylvania, ask your local building department and installer which approvals or inspections apply to your address and scope. Requirements can depend on the work and jurisdiction. This checklist does not determine permit requirements.
For a condo, rental, or shared building, include the property owner or building manager early. Confirm access arrangements and any building approval process before scheduling delivery.

| Item | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| Equipment | Which cabin, heater, controls, and accessories are included? |
| Delivery | Where does delivery end, and who moves the pieces inside? |
| Assembly | Who assembles the unit and checks operation? |
| Site work | Who handles electrical, floor, and ventilation work? |
| Handover | Who provides manuals, care instructions, and warranty support? |
Ask which costs are allowances and which are fixed. Record exclusions so the equipment price is not mistaken for the complete installed price.
