Confirm permitted work hours, elevator reservations, loading areas, parking permits, proof-of-insurance rules, and how the crew enters. Do not assume residential access rules are the same across buildings.
Ask the building first
Confirm permitted work hours, elevator reservations, loading areas, parking permits, proof-of-insurance rules, and how the crew enters. Do not assume residential access rules are the same across buildings.
Measure the tight points
Measure large items and the narrowest doorway, hall turn, elevator opening, stair width, and ceiling clearance. Note railings or fixtures that reduce the usable path.
Protect the shared route
Tell the provider what floor protection, wall protection, or elevator padding the building requires. Keep residents and pets away from the active path.
Stage decisions, not piles
Group approved removal items by room and keep anything that stays clearly separated. Do not block exits, stairs, fire equipment, or shared hallways.
Before you call
Confirm who can approve entry and removal.
List rooms, large items, and do-not-remove items.
Describe stairs, elevators, gates, and parking.
Name the deadline and the next scheduled trade.
