Vancouver request guide
What to include in a Vancouver service request.

Building access
Note stairs, elevators, loading areas, parking limits, entry instructions, and any building reservation that affects the work.
Timing and travel
Give the preferred window, any firm deadline, and whether the request requires travel between multiple locations.
