MOVE PLANNING - PROFESSIONALLY PLANNING YOUR MOVE
How We Plan Your MoveCustom Moving Plan
When you contact Cincinnati Moving, the first phase is to have one of our Moving Specialists schedule an in-residence meeting to assess your move; if you like, we can usually provide quick, accurate estimates over the phone. Either way, we will detail an inventory of your rooms, contents, unique packing requirements, dis-assembly/re-assembly items, packing materials required, any desired packing services, the physical layout of rooms, fragile or unique items, and other germane details specific to your move, such as 3rd party service and storage. Whether it is a local move, long distance, commercial, or a special move, Cincinnati Movers will detail a moving plan that is both efficient and affordable. Our Moving Plan outlines and details the packing (if selected), loading, logistics, unloading, and unpacking (if selected) of your move. We will also provide details of custom services such as vehicle moving, storage, 3rd-party services, etc. From on our phone conversation or in-home consultation, we will accurately and quickly provide you a moving estimate as part of our Moving Plan. The estimate will be complete in terms of all costs, to include optional services, such as storage, packing, unpacking, storage, third-party services, etc. The Professional Moving Plan will outline all the logistics and estimate the time required to pack (if chosen), loading, logistics, unloading, and unpacking (if chosen). Cincinnati Movers will provide this plan in writing and any method best for you to include in-person, over the phone, or via email.
