Moving in a traditional Milan courtyard building: courtyards and shared balconies

A railing house can present a path of move very different from the one suggested by the entrance on the road. After the door there can be a courtyard, a staircase and a dancer to cross before reaching the apartment. The preparation must follow this real sequence, observing where the furniture changes direction and which spaces are shared with other residents.

DUDA Traslochi — Move in the railing house: courtyard and ballatoire

Watching beyond the gate

A photo of the facade does not necessarily show access to the house. In the initial request specify the location of the apartment compared to the courtyard and indicate if it is located in an internal body. A continuous video from the entrance to the door of the house helps to recognize the intermediate doors and any turns that make the passage of long furniture difficult.

The yard should not be considered automatically available for vehicles or as temporary storage. The possibility of using it and the applicable conditions must be clarified with the competent referents. Even the usual presence of a car does not show that you can access a vehicle of move with the planned equipment.

Check the long and indivisible pieces

On a dancer or scale with direction changes, a long component can be more challenging than a furniture made up of many small elements. Then prepare a list of sofas, floors, cabinets and other pieces that cannot be easily reduced. For each one are useful measures and photographs of the structure.

The railings and elements of the building should not be used as support points or disassembled by the customer to facilitate the passage. The evaluation of the movement must comply with the actual conditions of the route. If doubt arises, the solution must be defined with a site visit and with any technical subjects necessary, without improvised attempts.

Coordinating people without occupying accesses

Before the agreed day it is useful to inform the condominium representative of the program and collect relevant organizational indications. If you need keys or openings of gates, please determine who will make them available. A delay in an intermediate point can block the entire sequence, even when the furnishings are already ready in the apartment.

Inside, it separates the boxes to be transported from the objects that remain. The dancer should not become the place where to order the content of the house. A preparation for environments, with legible labels, allows to release the necks according to the agreed sequence and to limit unnecessary movements in the common spaces.

Define the route also upon arrival

When the new home is already available, check where the furniture will be placed and which areas must remain free for installation. If the delivery still concerns a house with articulated access, the second section requires the same level of documentation as the first one. The move plan must consider both situations.

For DUDA prepares complete addresses, floors, photographs of the courtyard and the route, list of the furniture and availability of the keys. This data allows you to make visible the peculiarities of the railing house in the quote. The service can thus be arranged around the actual steps of the property, keeping clear the coordination between customer, team and condominium.
