White-Glove Delivery and Access Checklist

A practical checklist for moving heavy stone furniture into Australian apartments, homes, hotels, and display suites.

Access should be quoted before production

Heavy stone furniture can fail commercially if delivery access is assumed instead of checked.

The quote process should request lift dimensions, stair details, parking/loading conditions, building rules, floor level, and room path constraints.

Apartments need more detail

Sydney and Melbourne apartments often involve loading docks, concierge approvals, lift bookings, insurance requirements, and delivery window restrictions.

Designers should collect these details early rather than after the table is ready to ship.

Damage reporting needs a written process

Stone should be inspected at delivery according to the terms. Packaging damage, concealed damage, and installation issues need a defined reporting window.

A clear process protects both the customer and the Australian operator.

Checklist

Use this before requesting a quote.

  • Street parking or loading dock
  • Lift dimensions and weight limit
  • Stairs, turns, corridors, and door widths
  • Floor level and room path
  • Building management booking rules
  • Inspection and damage reporting contact

Next step

Turn the guide into a project brief.

Send the relevant dimensions, role, city, stone direction, access notes, and deadline so the Australian team can respond with a useful next step.
