Household change
One sofa or dining table moves between two Ottawa homes.

Specialty moving · Ottawa
Planned transport for one suitable furniture, appliance or specialty item. Start with the properties, inventory, access and date so the scope reflects what moving day will really involve.
Who this service is for
Households, businesses and buyers moving one suitable item that needs more access planning, protection or placement support than ordinary parcel delivery provides.
Planned transport for one suitable furniture, appliance or specialty item. The service is scoped after reviewing what will be moved, which tasks the customer wants ProMove to complete, and what conditions apply at every stop. This prevents a broad service label from replacing the details needed for responsible planning.

Common moving situations
These examples describe common planning contexts. The final service scope is always based on the customer’s confirmed move.
One sofa or dining table moves between two Ottawa homes.
A purchased appliance needs collection and room placement after readiness is confirmed.

Describe the material, fragile components and any detachable parts.
Measure the complete route at both addresses, including turns and elevators.
Confirm disconnection, packaging or assembly responsibilities before pickup.

Scope decisions
These decisions separate a service name from the actual work, responsibilities and conditions that need to appear in the moving plan.
One sofa or dining table moves between two Ottawa homes. This situation should be recorded with the origin, destination, requested date and the belongings affected by the request. Full-route measurements reduce failed pickup or placement attempts. The customer should also explain whether ProMove Ottawa is expected to complete the task, coordinate it with another service or simply plan around work handled by somebody else. Measure the complete route at both addresses, including turns and elevators. That distinction keeps the written scope useful and prevents an informal assumption from becoming a moving-day delay.

Access assessment
Access is assessed as a complete truck-to-room path at both properties, not as a single question about stairs.
Pickup contact and release authorization Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Stable vehicle positioning and securement suited to the item's balance. The handling plan should connect that protection requirement with the actual route rather than assuming the same method works at every property. Failing to confirm the seller or building access window. Photos, measurements and current building instructions can resolve uncertainty before the crew and vehicle are scheduled.
Vehicle proximity at both properties Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Floor, doorway and elevator protection along the approved route.

Estimate inputs
A useful estimate is based on disclosed work and constraints. It is not a generic price attached to the service label.
Item size, weight and fragility Explain the relevant quantity, size, timing or property condition instead of leaving the factor as a broad note. Describe the material, fragile components and any detachable parts. The estimate review should identify which facts are confirmed, which are provisional and which require a photo, measurement or building response. Fragile attachments or moving parts can be missed without current photographs. If the inventory, access or requested support changes, the customer should report it before moving day so the written scope and operating plan can be reviewed together.
