The selected stages stay connected.

Item-specific care

Protection matches the piece and journey.

Agreed room plan

Placement decided before move day.

Defined finishing

Optional work and follow-up scheduled.

Plan the work

A white-glove plan is useful when its work is explicit.

A dedicated move coordinator connects the review, packing sequence, planned moving crew, building requirements and receiving result. The surveyor and moving crew may be different people. Describe the desired handover rather than rely on the white-glove label to define every task.

The planning team reviews the inventory through the appropriate list, video or in-person survey and checks both carrying routes. A written plan identifies dates, crew needs, preparation, protection, placement and individually reviewed specialist operations. The quote explains selected stages before you authorize the work.

Floors, banisters, door casings and agreed elevator routes are protected at both ends. Cartons and furniture are photographed and listed under the inventory; cartons are labeled by room and contents so placement follows a plan rather than stops at the entrance.

Choose your scope

Select the stages that deliver your intended home.

Full or partial packing

Work room by room against the agreed inventory. Packing labor and company cartons are priced separately; keep the last-night and first-use essentials accessible.

Object-specific protection

Choose compatible wrapping, a complete picture carton, fitted soft protection or a custom crate for the actual object and journey. Crating is not required for every fragile possession.

Furniture and placement

Basic furniture work uses moving labor time. Complex wardrobes, wall beds and specialist sofa operations need reviewed scope. Agree the final room plan before move day.

Unpacking and organizing

Furniture unwrapping accompanies delivery. Optional carton unpacking uses paid time; customer-directed organizing is a distinct selected task.

Mounting and finishing

Review pictures, mirrors, TVs, curtain hardware and other requested finishing individually, including walls, fixings, permission and executor. Technical or electrical work needs explicit arrangements.

Collection and follow-up

Packaging removal is separately charged. The coordinator checks in after the move; any later adjustment, retrieval or finishing is scheduled with its own agreed work and timing.

Plan the work

The piece, condition and journey choose the protection.

A modest framed print, an heirloom mirror and an exposed painting can need different compatible contact and support. Document condition in the original position before touching or wrapping. The moving inventory is distinct from a formal conservation condition report.

Custom crates are made empty in the workshop and brought to the client property for object packing. Review support, protected dimensions, the carrying route, approved opening and any lender or insurer specification together. A crate label does not establish blanket insurance or museum certification.

Chandeliers, fixed furniture and mounting jobs need the exact model, attachment, safe preparation and receiving requirements. A moving plan does not automatically provide utility disconnection, building repair or technical commissioning. Identify the responsible specialist before the schedule relies on that work.

Plan the work

Explain the entire sequence before booking it.

Local moves are usually hourly under the applicable terms. Estimated or minimum hours are not a fixed total or a completion cap. For an agreed interstate flat-rate shipment, the price is held for the same shipment and service scope; additions and changed access or tasks require a revised written scope and price.

Company cartons are charged separately. Moving blankets, shrink wrap and tape have no separate material charge within agreed moving work. Optional unpacking, packaging collection, organizing, storage and specialist operations remain selected stages rather than an undefined all-inclusive bundle.

Send both buildings’ written COI and access instructions. Confirm management acceptance, elevator windows, lawful loading and who can release and receive the shipment. The crew lead walks through the agreed plan and discusses a change before adding work.

A workable sequence

From the first list to the receiving result.

  1. Define the receiving result

    Name priority rooms, sensitive objects, placement decisions and the finishing tasks you want.

  2. Survey and agree the written plan

    Review the actual inventory and routes, assign responsibilities and explain each selected charge.

  3. Prepare and move by stage

    Pack, protect and handle the shipment against the inventory and approved access.

  4. Place, finish and follow up

    Confirm room placement and selected unpacking; schedule any agreed later collection or adjustment.

Before you book

White-Glove Moving questions

Practical answers about the work, preparation, price and receiving result.

Ask a coordinator
What does white-glove moving include?

The written plan defines it. You can select packing, specialist protection, furniture work, room placement, optional unpacking and reviewed finishing. The label does not imply an unlimited bundle or every optional service included in one price.

Will the person surveying my home be on the moving crew?

Not necessarily. A dedicated coordinator connects the review and planned crew, but the surveyor and moving crew may be different people. Confirm the roles and contact for each stage in the plan.

Is all fragile property put in wooden crates?

No. The object, condition, journey and any insurer or lender requirements determine protection. Compatible wrapping, a complete carton, fitted soft protection or a custom crate can suit different pieces.

Is unpacking included in the moving price?

Furniture unwrapping is part of delivery. Carton unpacking is optional paid working time. Customer-directed organizing and separately charged packaging removal need their own agreed scope.

Can you hang pictures or mount a television after placement?

Yes, as individually reviewed finishing work. Send the item, wall, hardware, desired position and permission. Agree the executor and any technical tasks rather than assume electrical or hookup work is included.

Does the quote stay the same if I add services?

The written change terms apply. Hourly work uses the applicable labor and time terms. The agreed interstate flat rate holds for the same shipment and service scope; added items, access changes or extra services require a revised written plan and price.

What happens if I need something adjusted later?

Contact the coordinator with the specific item and requested result. A follow-up adjustment, storage retrieval or finishing visit is scheduled with agreed access, timing, scope and charges; it is not an unlimited free continuation.

A plan for your actual move
