Moving planner workbook
Print the complete set or only the pages needed for your move. Write provider facts exactly as confirmed and keep original contracts with your moving binder.
How to use this workbook
Complete the household brief first. Build the inventory before requesting comparable quotes. Measure difficult access before accepting a service plan. Bring the move-week and arrival pages with you, not inside the shipment.
Define the move
Keep the facts that affect timing, access, and household continuity on one page.

Stabilize the load
Use one row per furniture item, special-handling object, or grouped carton category.

Prove the route
Measure clear openings and turns, then compare them with the item in its carrying orientation.
