Apartment moves stand on access details. The distance from the truck to the elevator, the width of the corridors, and the rules each building sets for loading decide how the crew plans the job. Collecting these details before the moving date keeps the estimate honest and the move on schedule.
Check both buildings
Ask about loading hours, the loading location, the elevator, and the entrance at the pickup and the destination. Some buildings reserve the service elevator for move-in slots. Others require a loading permit or limit when the truck may stand at the curb. Write down what each property requires and keep the notes with the inventory.
Describe the carrying route
Tell the crew the unit number, the floor, and the distance from the truck to the elevator or stairs. Note stairs, corridor widths, turns, and low doorways along the route. Photos of the hallway and the door help the estimate reflect the actual walk. A long carry with several turns changes the time the job takes more than a straight, short route.
Confirm parking and loading time
Check where the truck can park and for how long at each building. Ask whether a permit is needed and who issues it. When the truck cannot park directly at the entrance, the extra carry distance goes into the plan. Confirm the loading window with both buildings so the crew can schedule the move without waiting.
Coordinate keys and entry
Agree who meets the crew at each property and who holds the keys for the elevator or the unit. Keep the entry instructions with the written plan and share them with the crew before moving day. If the person who meets the crew changes, revise the instructions and confirm the new arrangement.
Send the full picture
Send both addresses, the inventory, the preferred date, and the building rules to Full Faith Moving Services when you request the estimate. The written scope records the access conditions, so the crew arrives prepared and the job stays on the confirmed schedule.
