FAQ
Pre-Move Survey FAQs
Common questions about booking a pre-move survey for your relocation.
What is a pre-move survey?
A pre-move survey is an on-site or virtual assessment conducted by a trained surveyor before your relocation. The surveyor checks the volume of goods, access conditions, packing needs and distance so the mover can give you an accurate written quotation and plan the move.
Is the pre-move survey free?
In most cases, pre-move surveys are offered free of cost — especially for local moves and small households. For long-distance surveys or industrial site inspections, some providers may charge a nominal fee that is adjusted against your final bill. Confirm when booking.
Can a survey be done via video call?
Yes. Many verified movers offer video surveys where the surveyor guides you through the house on a video call and estimates volume and packing needs. Photo-based surveys are also common for small moves and one-time shifting.
How long does a pre-move survey take?
A pre-move survey typically takes 20-45 minutes for a 1 BHK, 45-60 minutes for a 2-3 BHK, and 1-2 hours for villas or commercial spaces. Time depends on the number of rooms, storage areas and specialty items.
What details are covered in the survey?
The survey covers the volume of goods by room, packing requirements, fragile and specialty items, floor access, lift availability, stair carry needs, truck access, lane width, and estimated manpower and vehicle size required.
Do I get a written quotation after the survey?
Yes. After the survey, you receive a written quotation that lists inclusions, exclusions, packing material, labour, transportation, insurance (if opted) and any additional charges. This is the document to compare across providers before booking.
Is a pre-move survey mandatory?
A pre-move survey is strongly recommended for accurate pricing and smoother execution, especially for 2 BHK and above, intercity moves, and moves with fragile or specialty items. Some movers waive the survey for very small, single-item moves.
What happens if the actual volume differs from the survey?
If the actual volume is higher than assessed, the mover may revise the quotation before loading. If it is lower, some providers offer a partial adjustment based on their policy. Always review the survey list carefully and update the mover with any changes in advance.
