Moving cost estimate: prepare the details companies need
A reliable moving price needs the details of the actual job. This guide helps you collect them; it does not calculate or promise an amount in kroner. Use the completed description to obtain specific company quotations.
Step 1: describe the load
List furniture room by room and estimate boxes. Identify appliances and particular heavy items such as a piano or safe separately. Include storage areas, not just the main rooms.
Step 2: record addresses and access
Give both addresses, floors, lift availability and useful dimensions, parking-to-door distances and any narrow doors, stairs or gates. Include the route between addresses.
Step 3: explain timing and services
State the preferred date and flexibility and any packing, assembly, storage or disposal. Do not wait to mention an extra task until after a quote has been prepared.
A preparation worksheet
Use these headings in your own notes. Do not put personal details into a public shared tool URL.
| Category | What to record |
|---|---|
| Rooms and furniture | A room-by-room furniture list |
| Boxes | A realistic quantity estimate |
| Access | Floor, lift, stairs, parking and carrying route |
| Particular items | Heavy, large or fragile belongings |
| Extra services | Packing, assembly, storage or disposal |
Request offers from the same description
Give each company the same completed information. Ask it to clarify scope, price basis and extras. Correct omissions such as a broken lift or underestimated box count before accepting the final terms.
Use a quote-preparation worksheet, not a headline price
Keep two columns in your notes: confirmed details and details still to check. A box count or parking arrangement you are unsure about should be marked as an estimate, so the company can ask questions before pricing.
Send the same corrected version to every company. When offers arrive, use the quote comparison tool to record their actual amounts and scope. This page prepares the enquiry; the prices guide explains how to assess the resulting costs.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a moving-price calculator here?
No. The page prepares the information companies need; they provide their own quotations.
Why cannot the exact price be calculated from the address alone?
The load, carrying routes, staffing and chosen services also affect the job.
Must I know the volume in cubic metres?
It can help, but a clear furniture list and box estimate give companies a useful starting point.
Is requesting offers free?
Yes. Sending an enquiry through TreFlyttetilbud is free and non-binding.
