Scene note

Confirm the final provider before sharing codes or lockbox information. Arrange for an authorized adult and follow the building's security process rather than propping doors or bypassing controls.

First five minutes

Put these five details on the same page

Each note narrows the conversation without pretending to reveal a concealed cause.

Front entry

Explain call-box names, staffed-desk procedure, or resident escort without sending codes early.

Parking

State legal loading options and building restrictions instead of promising a space.

Elevator

Reserve service access or padding when building rules require it.

Occupied rooms

Identify sleeping, working, or mobility-constrained areas that affect the route.

Pets and security

Secure animals and valuables while keeping emergency exits unobstructed.
