Why is a survey essential for a successful move?

A move—whether domestic moving within Hungary or international move  within Europe or overseas —is always a big decision and a complex process. The foundation of a successful move is careful preparation, and the first and most crucial step is the moving survey. At Euromove, this survey is carried out using a tablet and specialized software to ensure accuracy and efficiency.

What Is a Moving Survey?

A moving survey is more than just making a checklist. It is the starting point for planning your entire move. During the survey, our expert colleague (in person or via video call) not only records the furniture, belongings, and items that need to be transported, but also assesses every detail of the move and coordinates with the client to ensure a smooth process.

What Happens During the Survey?

The survey is an interactive, collaborative planning process designed to cover every aspect of your move:

• Scheduling the Survey: Choose a convenient date for a personal or online consultation

• Room-by-Room Inventory: Review every room, including cabinets and drawers, to determine the quantity and type of items to be packed

• Packing Requirements: Identify the correct boxes, packing materials, and specialized equipment needed for fragile or valuable items

• Assessing Accessibility: Evaluate street conditions, parking availability, elevator access, and any traffic restrictions

• Estimating Workforce & Timing: Determine the number of movers and duration required for a smooth relocation

• Confirming Special Requests: Discuss storage options, relocation services, insurance, and any specific client requirements

During the survey, data collection and planning go hand in hand, ensuring that nothing is overlooked.

Why Property Accessibility Is Key

The ease of access to your property plays a major role in the success of a move:

• Narrow or crowded streets

• Floor level and elevator availability

• Traffic and parking restrictions

These factors affect scheduling, cost, and resource allocation, making accessibility a critical part of the moving survey.

Why the Survey Is Essential

Conducting a moving survey ensures:

• Accurate and Transparent Quotes: No hidden costs or surprises

• Proper Packing and Equipment: Knowing exactly which boxes, packing materials, and tools are required

• Organized Scheduling: Efficient coordination of moving trucks and staff

• Stress-Free Client Experience: Every detail is planned ahead, making the process predictable and smooth

At Euromove, a move does not start with packing—it starts with the survey. This is the moment when planning begins alongside data collection, guaranteeing a stress-free, well-organized, and cost-transparent moving process.

Every move with Euromove starts with a personalized survey, because we believe that a good start is the key to a successful finish.
