Access and scheduling
Downtown buildings want notice. Ask each property manager how far ahead the freight elevator and dock must be reserved, what hours movers may use them, and whether elevator pads are provided or must be brought. We send the certificate of insurance the building asks for, naming the owner and manager as they specify.
Most firms move from Friday evening through Sunday so the courthouse crowd and weekday deliveries are gone and attorneys lose no working day. If the new file room is getting new shelving, the shelving vendor needs to finish and sign off before cartons arrive, so their date becomes our date. A firm moving out of downtown to Briargate or the north side swaps the dock problem for a long carry across a parking lot, which changes crew count, not the plan.
