What does the building usually ask for?
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.
- Elevator booking window
- COI or insurance proof
- Loading dock instructions
- Move-in or move-out fee rules

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.
