Moving and pedestrian access: arranging the space

During a move the furniture route can meet that of residents, customers of shops and passers-by. This situation should be considered in the preparation of the service, especially when the door directly overlooks a busy space. The work is not only about bringing objects to the truck: it requires a sequence that avoids unnecessary accumulation and makes operational phases recognizable.

DUDA Traslochi — Move and pedestrian passage: organizing spaces

Locate meeting points

In the site visit it is useful to observe where the hills change direction and where people enter or exit the building. A gate, a gorone or a secondary door can concentrate different movements at the same point. The photographs must show these links, not only the free space in front of the middle.

The presence of an activity on the ground floor may require organizational coordination with its referents. This does not replace any permissions or prescriptions, but helps to recognize interference. An information received for a long time allows to study the sequence; discovering it when the furniture is already in the door makes it more difficult to correct the program.

Prepare inside, transfer to groups

The boxes should be closed and labeled before reaching the pass point. Decide where a neck goes, remake a packing or look for a component creates waits and occupies space. It is advisable to reserve an area suitable for the preparation, separate from objects that do not participate in the move.

Colli groups can be arranged according to the sequence agreed with the team. It is not useful to bring everything out at the same time: an orderly flow allows you to maintain inventory control and to prevent the brittle from being mixed with other materials. The choice of quantities and handling modes is for those who perform the service.

Communicating without multiplying referents

A single person of the customer should collect organizational requests and compare with the team's contact person. If more people change the destination of furniture at the same time, they increase the movements and you lose the connection with the initial plan. A seedling and a numbered list help to respond without stopping every single step.

Residents can be informed of the essential information agreed with the condominium administration: day, scheduled and referent. Personal information about the content of the house or the documents transported should not be disseminated. The organisational notice is used to facilitate co-existence during work, without presenting a duration which depends on the actual conditions.

Close the work by freeing the path

Space management continues even after the last mobile. Packing materials, protections and equipment must be removed according to the agreed service, leaving the interested accesses free. It is useful to predict who controls the common environments and who checks that nothing has remained in the temporary area of preparation.

When you ask for a quote to DUDA, it signals neighboring activities, shared entrances and particularity of the door. A video of the route can make a criticality visible that does not appear in the list of furniture. This data allows you to design a more orderly handling, with fewer improvised decisions and greater clarity between customer, condominium and team.
