Local Move
When estimating the cost for local moves, you should consider the number of movers you may require, movers' loading time, how long it would take to drive from your old residence to your new one and how much time it takes to unload there. The chart below will help give you an idea of how many hours and movers you may require if you choose to pre-pack yourself. Please note that there may be some variables including how much packing our professional team requires.
We require a minimum of three hours labor and one-hour travel time (between office and origin of move to new location and return to office), which is an industry standard.
Below is a local move estimate chart.
