Moving from Milan to Berlin: preparing building access

When organizing a move from Milan to Berlin, the arrival address is only the first data. For an orderly delivery you need to understand which entrance to use, how to reach the apartment and who can open all the necessary steps.

DUDA Traslochi — Move Milan Berlin: preparing access to the building

Document the complete route

Ask for photographs that start from the street and arrive at the room where to fix the most bulky furniture. Doors, corridor, courtyard, staircase and door of the apartment can present different constraints. If the accommodation is in an internal body, specify it in the request: the civic could lead to multiple entrances.

A slow video, accompanied by few verifiable measures, is often more useful than many close images. However, do not consider it a guarantee of passage: when the margin is reduced, it is necessary a technical evaluation of the piece and the path.

If there are multiple scales, enter the correct reference in the delivery card. A photograph of the ombudsman and one of the actual entrance allow to distinguish the postal address from the point where the handling begins.

Check elevator and rotational spaces

The presence of the elevator does not imply that every furniture can enter. Useful dimensions of the cabin, opening of the door and indications of the flow available on the system. The space in front of the elevator also counts, because the furniture must be able to be oriented.

If an item travels disassembled, it still measures the longest component. A side of wardrobe or a table top can be more challenging than a large box. Photograph the landings without hiding shrinkages and direction changes.

Collect the rules of the building

Ask the owner or local referee what arrangements are necessary for the use of common spaces. You need to know who manages the opening, any bookings and protection required. The rules of a condo do not deduce themselves from those of the previous palace.

For vehicle parking and access, check the local provisions relating to the actual road. A photo of a free place is not equivalent to its availability on the day of the move and does not authorize to reserve it.

Prepare a simple plant of the rooms

Assign a stable name to each room: main room, study, living room. Use the same names on inventory and boxes. If the plant is in German, add a legend to the team and to the recipient.

Indicates where to mount the furniture before the downloads begin. Moving a newly reassembled wardrobe because the chosen wall is not the correct one involves a different job from the scheduled delivery and may require a new evaluation.

Confirm an operating referent

The person you receive must have keys, telephone reached and authorization to give indications. Share with you the definitive inventory and any exclusions of the service. For the move Milan Berlin, DUDA can evaluate the organization based on these data: good description of the arrival allows to prepare the departure with less unknown and to discuss before any alternative handling.
