Reporting a long carry from the vehicle to the door

If the vehicle cannot park beside the building, the carrying distance can change the moving plan. Describe it alongside the address.

Reporting a long carry from the vehicle to the door

Before you start

Inspect the route from a possible parking point to the entrance. Photograph steps, slopes, narrow gates and different surfaces.

Practical steps

  • Record the approximate distance and whether sections are covered or open.
  • Mention any available staging area near the entrance.
  • Ask in writing how these conditions affect staffing, equipment and the quote's scope.

Checks on arrival

Check access on delivery day. Warn the team about temporary closures rather than assuming the previously identified parking point remains available.

What to include in your quote request

Prepare both addresses, access measurements and photographs for your enquiry. Identify uncertain access conditions explicitly. Confirm equipment, building coordination and delivery responsibilities in the written scope so the plan can be followed in practice.
