Find out who books condo elevators, what building managers usually require, and how movers coordinate elevator timing.
Quick answer
Movers coordinate condo elevator timing after your building confirms the booking, access rules, and insurance needs.
Last updated: May 20, 2026.
Most Montreal condo buildings require the resident, tenant, landlord, or property manager to reserve the service elevator. About 50% of Up & Out moves involve elevator booking coordination, so arrival windows and building rules are reviewed before moving day.
Buildings often ask for the moving date, time slot, company name, certificate of insurance, truck arrival details, and whether wall or floor protection is needed.
A missed or shortened elevator window can add waiting time, increase long carries, or force a reschedule. Confirming elevator access early keeps the move predictable, especially in Griffintown, Downtown Montreal, Old Port, Plateau, and Westmount buildings.
