Why ranges change
Four questions explain most price differences.
The calculator turns each answer into a visible time or price line.
How much is moving?
Furniture quantity and packing work become phase-specific minutes.
What is access like?
Elevators, stairs, and truck walking distance change handling assumptions.
How far is the route?
Distance and normal one-way drive time feed the published travel configuration.
Does it need special handling?
Full packing, retained materials, and confirmed heavy items appear separately.
