Create a concise contact list for moving day helpers so everyone knows who to call and what to do.

Start by listing the primary mover or moving company with full name, phone number, and arrival window so helpers can confirm timing. Add two trusted friends or family members with their roles such as heavy lifting, watching children, or running errands and note who is responsible for what task. Include the building manager or landlord contact and any entry code, expected loading zone, and parking permit instructions so there are no access delays. Put utility provider phone numbers and account names with quick notes like meter location or scheduled service transfers to prevent last minute shutoffs. Add an emergency contact and the closest urgent care or hospital address, plus a brief note on where you keep the first aid kit and important documents. Finally include clear written directions from common arrival points and a short parking instruction that mentions preferred drop off spots, any time restrictions, and whether a vehicle needs a temporary permit.

Common mistakes are not sharing arrival windows which leads to long wait times and idle helpers, so send a confirmed arrival time via text and call half an hour before arrival. People forget to specify parking restrictions and then face fines or towing; solve this by checking local rules, reserving a loading zone if possible, and writing explicit parking instructions on the list. Another issue is missing roles which creates duplicated effort or neglected tasks, so assign simple role labels like heavy lift, box team, and lead communicator and mark who has the house keys and documents.
