Book the journey as a whole
An elevator reservation is only one part of the route from a unit to collection. Ask management how the service elevator, corridors, loading area and vehicle attendance are coordinated. Identify which bookings depend on another person's confirmation. Keep the building's actual instructions rather than borrowing limits from a different condominium.
Check fit with the assessor and manager
Provide available dimensions, door restrictions and information about the materials to be carried. Ask the responsible people to assess the route and equipment limits. Do not infer carrying capacity from the elevator size or remove a door to make an unassessed item fit. If the route is uncertain, resolve it before the removal date.
Separate approval, reservation and access
A removal approval does not necessarily reserve the elevator, and a booked elevator does not approve the work. Record the confirmation for each. Ask who admits the crew, supplies protection required by the building and receives the common areas afterwards. Keep key codes and security details out of a public enquiry or drawing.
Plan for a missed window
Agree what happens if loading or the elevator becomes unavailable. Avoid relying on corridors or another resident's space as unapproved storage. Link the booking record to the condo request packet and the limited-access guide so the estimate uses the same operational assumptions.
Questions to settle before the next step
Use this decision table with the people responsible for your property. Record the actual answers in your private project file.
| Decision | Question or evidence | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Elevator | Reservation and assessed route limits | Management confirmation |
| Loading | Vehicle attendance and permitted position | Coordinate with collection |
| Unavailable route | Who pauses or reschedules the activity? | No improvised storage |
Keep your completed record private. Bring the relevant scope questions into the optional project planner or discuss them directly with Clearpath.
