Before Move Day
Planning Checklist
Parking
Loading-zone location, visitor limits, and distance from the unit door to the truck.
Timing
Building-assigned move window and any lease-turnover deadline.
Access
Floor number, stairs or elevator, and hallway or doorway width for large furniture.
Inventory
Fragile pieces and anything too large for a standard elevator flagged in advance.
Move Route
How It Works
Discuss Goals
Building rules, elevator windows, and unit access confirmed before move day.
Prep & Protect
Furniture wrapped, with hallways and doorways protected for tight turns.
Execute
The crew works the stairs or elevator plan already agreed on, not one improvised on-site.
Place
Belongings go in the right rooms; boxes are broken down on request.

Shared-Access Logistics
The Building Is Part of the Move
Apartment moves fail or succeed on building logistics, not just labor — an elevator reservation missed by ten minutes, or a couch that does not clear a stairwell turn, costs more time than the move itself. Bird Dog coordinates building access and elevator windows before move day, whether that is a walk-up near Norman's Campus Corner on a tight OU turnover date or a high-rise unit with a strict loading-dock schedule.
Furniture gets wrapped and padded before it goes through a hallway. Anything too wide for a standard doorway or elevator gets disassembled and rebuilt on the other end. The plan is built around your building's specific rules during the estimate call, so assigned loading windows and access limits are accounted for before the crew arrives.
