Access and scheduling
Agencies in Boston tend to be in Fort Point and Seaport loft buildings, the South End, Back Bay, and Kendall Square, and many of those buildings are old brick warehouses with small freight elevators and a loading door on a narrow street. Backdrop rolls and printer boxes are long, so we measure the elevator cab before the date. If the truck must park on the street, apply early for the City of Boston's street-occupancy permit, which is not instant.
Suburban agencies in Needham, Natick, and Framingham are usually in office parks or village-center buildings with easier loading. Either way, we plan a Friday evening teardown of the studio and a Saturday move, on request, and send the building our certificate of insurance when it asks.
