In short. The truck pulling away is not the end of a move. In Tetouan, Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with independent professionals: you describe your request, receive proposals and pay after the service. Here is the order of jobs once the boxes are inside.
The night before: write down the sequence
Take one sheet of paper and make three lists: what gets taken apart and rebuilt (beds, wardrobes, shelves), what gets cleaned (the new home, sometimes the old one) and what gets unpacked (boxes, kitchenware, linen). Label each box with the room it is headed for, not just what is inside. Keep one small bag with you: chargers, papers, toiletries, a spare bulb and a roll of tape.
Loading morning: last in, first out
Whatever you need first should be loaded last. Bed parts and assembly tools go in the final boxes, within reach when the doors open. Screws and small fittings from dismantled furniture belong in a bag fixed to the piece itself, never loose at the bottom of a carton.
Tetouan has a medina listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. If your old or new home is inside it, ask whoever handles the transport how the furniture will reach your door. That conversation belongs before moving day, not at the foot of the alley.
Arrival: a quick walk-through before anything goes in
Before furniture comes in, walk around with the professional: walls, floors, door frames. Then let each piece be set down where it will stay. A piece placed once does not have to be shifted later when you clean beneath it.
If you have not booked yet, this is the moment to request a moving service, mentioning the floor, the access and the list of items to dismantle. Adom gives a reference rate of 2500 DH (forfait) for this service; the final price is settled with the professional you pick.
The first evening: a bed and the bare essentials
Do not try to set everything up on night one. Build the bed, plug in what you need to sleep and put your small bag in the bathroom. Large pieces such as the wardrobe, the bookcase or the kitchen units go together better in daylight, when you can see the screws and open the windows.
The next day: build, then clean, then unpack
Start with assembly, even if it feels like the dull part. Two people building together move faster and handle heavy panels more safely. When you ask for cleaning, say that some boxes are still in the middle of the rooms and may need to be moved. For unpacking, begin with the kitchen and the bathroom, used every day, then move on to the bedrooms.
The reason for this order is plain: assembly leaves dust, packaging scraps and footprints, so it comes before the cleaning, and unpacking comes last because it needs clean surfaces.
The first weekend: close the list
Go back to your sheet. Tick what is done and note what is missing: a shelf to fix, a door that rubs, a forgotten box. That list makes a good basis for a short second request instead of letting small jobs drag on for weeks. Empty boxes out of the house tell you the move is truly over.
The simplest approach is to order the requests in sequence: transport, assembly, cleaning, unpacking. Adom connects people and does not employ them: each professional stays independent, and you stay in control at every stage.

Frequently asked questions
In what order should I assemble, clean and unpack after a move?
Assemble the furniture first, clean the cleared rooms next and unpack last. That way assembly dust does not dirty a clean home and nothing is moved twice.
Should I clean before or after the boxes arrive?
Ideally after the furniture is built and before the boxes are opened. If that is not possible, tell the professional that boxes are still in the rooms.
Can I book several services for the same settling-in?
Yes, describe each need separately: transport, assembly, cleaning, unpacking. You receive proposals and pay after the service.
What should I prepare so assembly goes smoothly?
Keep screws in a bag fixed to the piece, keep the instructions with the parts and clear the space. Tell the professional in advance about the floor and the access.
How much does a complete move cost?
The reference rate given by Adom is 2500 DH (forfait). The final price depends on your request and is settled with the professional you choose.
