Moving Guide

Short guides that lay out the numbers behind a moving job. The formulas and margins here are exactly the ones Loduvo uses; this is not marketing copy, it is the working calculation.

• How is moving cost calculated?

  Home moving cost is made up of six items: vehicle, fuel, labor, floors without an elevator, packing and an optional condition report. The full formula and how the profit margin is added.

• How is household goods volume calculated in m³?

  Item volume is length × width × height converted to m3. Why box volume never fits a vehicle one to one, and what the 5% dimension margin and 15% packing margin are for.

  Guides

• Which moving vehicle suits which volume?

  Vehicle selection looks at volume and weight together. Why only 85% of catalog volume is used, when the weight limit fills before the volume does, and the two-trip decision.

• What is a Remote Survey, and can it replace an on-site survey?

  A Remote Survey builds the item inventory from photos or a short video the customer sends. How it works, which jobs it covers, and when an on-site survey is still needed.

• When you move, which items are fixtures and which are yours?

  Built-in oven, fitted wardrobe, air conditioner, chandelier... What counts as a fixture when you move comes down to one principle. The principle, the items most often argued over, and how they are flagged during the survey.

• How does a moving company quote a customer within minutes?

  Quoting without visiting the home is not about guessing; it is about building the inventory remotely. Where survey time really goes, the Remote Survey flow, and the step at which the quote becomes final.

• What happens if an item is damaged in a move? How is a condition report made?

  Damage disputes usually come down to a lack of evidence. Photo-based condition reports at loading and delivery, customer approval, and how this differs from insurance.
