Scope

Furniture delivery, assembly, installation, and debris removal across 47 campuses

The challenge

A North Texas school district needed to replace classroom and administrative furniture across 47 campuses before the start of the fall semester. The district had a hard six-week summer window — after construction crews cleared out and before teachers returned for professional development. Previous rollouts had used separate vendors for delivery and installation, resulting in scheduling conflicts, inconsistent assembly quality, and campuses that were not ready on time.

Our approach

Keystone proposed a single scope of work covering receiving, staging, delivery, assembly, installation, placement, and debris removal. We conducted site readiness assessments for each campus before scheduling deliveries, built a phased routing plan that grouped campuses by geography and readiness date, and assigned dedicated crew leads who stayed with the program from start to finish. Documentation — including delivery confirmations, exception notes, and photo evidence — was provided to the district's facilities team within 24 hours of each site visit.

Execution

Crews operated Monday through Saturday for the full six-week window. Each campus received a scheduled delivery window confirmed with the site contact at least 48 hours in advance. Installation included classroom desks, teacher workstations, library shelving, cafeteria tables, and administrative office furniture. Where campuses were not ready on the scheduled date (due to construction delays), Keystone rescheduled within the same week without disrupting the broader routing plan. Debris — including all packaging, old furniture tagged for disposal, and pallets — was removed from each site the same day.

The result

Forty-six of 47 campuses were completed on or ahead of schedule. The single exception was delayed two days due to a construction hold that was outside of the delivery scope. The district reported zero complaints from campus principals about furniture readiness, and damage claims on delivered items were under one percent. The district has since engaged Keystone for two additional rollout programs.
