Alberta First Choice Moving

Apartment and condo moves often depend on details outside the unit itself. Elevator reservations, loading access, parking rules, hallway protection and the time available for a booked elevator can shape the moving plan.

AFCM’s condo and apartment moving process starts by discussing the current and new addresses, building access and any elevator requirements. That information helps the team plan the move around the restrictions that apply at both ends.

If you are comparing condo movers, ask how building access will be included in the plan—not treated as a surprise on moving day.

One of the easiest ways to improve your moving estimate is to give the mover a complete picture of both properties before moving day.

Include more than the main-room furniture. Basements, garages, sheds, stairs, elevators, long carries, tight doorways, limited loading access, unusually heavy items and furniture that may need disassembly can all affect the crew, truck space, equipment and time required.

When important access or inventory details are missing, even a carefully prepared estimate can be too small. That can mean a longer day or a different plan than either side expected.

Before requesting an estimate, walk through the origin and destination once and note anything that changes how the move must be handled. Share the details early so the plan reflects the move you actually have.

When roommates move together or separate households, agree on the ownership and destination of shared belongings before anything is packed. Mark items that belong to different people clearly, and settle questions about shared kitchenware or furniture while everyone is available.

Seal the bottom and top seams of moving cartons with packing tape before they join the loading pile. Avoid folding flaps together as a substitute for tape, and set aside any box with split seams or a weakened base for repacking.

When planning a senior move, identify walking aids and other everyday mobility equipment that must remain available throughout the day. Agree with family or caregivers on who will transport those items and when they will be ready at the new home.

An aquarium needs its own relocation plan rather than being treated as ordinary household furniture. Contact an aquarium specialist ahead of time about fish, water, and equipment, and confirm with your mover how the empty tank and stand will be handled.

For an office relocation, give staff one written update that explains the moving timeline, their responsibilities, and where to find answers. Set a separate deadline for notifying clients and suppliers about any changes to visits, deliveries, or service during the transition.

Decide in advance how you will carry jewellery and small personal valuables to your new home rather than leaving them loose among household cartons. Use a secure container that stays with you, and check its contents before leaving each property.

Before packing a sewing or craft area, secure needles, scissors, and other sharp tools in protective cases, and sort small supplies into closed containers. Keep unfinished projects together so loose pieces do not scatter and you can pick up where you left off after the move.
