Example: the sofa fits the door but cannot turn on the landing
Suppose a sofa in your Haarlem home fits through the room door, but the turn towards the stairs is uncertain. Take overview photos and measure the clear space at the turn. Check whether the furniture is designed for removal of legs or arms. If a window route seems necessary, also have the opening and street setup assessed. Then specify equipment and tasks in the quote.

- Measure the furniture and entire stair route.
- Assess dismantling and window access separately.

Measure the route before planning an external lift
A large sofa or cabinet upstairs in Haarlem needs more detail than the floor area of your home. Measure the door, stair width, landing and headroom at turns. Identify which parts of the furniture can be removed. These details help assess carrying, dismantling or an alternative setup.
A window route also needs space at street level
An external moving lift can only be assessed once both the opening in the building and the setup space are known. Provide window dimensions, height and obstacles such as trees or canopies. Agree who arranges a traffic plan or permission when public space is involved. Do not book a lift based on the floor number alone.

Arrange parking and road use separately
Haarlem requests location, registration number and date or part of the day for a temporary parking permit. It does not cover every type of parking space. Check access separately if your address is in a pedestrian area.
Traffic plan for an extended obstruction
For an extended road obstruction by a moving vehicle or lift, Haarlem requires a traffic plan through LTC at least three weeks ahead. For pavement positioning, the municipality specifies an RVV exemption. Have the proposed setup assessed in advance.
