During this survey he will assess which household goods will be moved and which are to stay to calculate the size of the move.

    If you wish a visit to your house, one of our moving consultants will come by and perform a pre-move survey. During this survey he will assess which household goods will be moved and which are to stay to calculate the size of the move. Apart from this the consultant will enquire if you will be packing your goods or if the Combitrans team will take care of this. He will also check the access to your home, discuss whether furniture will need to be disassembled / re-assembled and discuss any other special handling which may be required.
