Volume Estimator Tool – Your Essential Resource For A Smooth Move
When planning a move, one of the most crucial aspects to consider is understanding the total volume of the items you’ll be transporting. Our Volume Estimator Tool is specifically designed to simplify this process, providing you with a practical way to estimate the volume of your belongings. By leveraging industry-standard averages for a variety of common household items, this tool can help you gain insight into how much space you will require for your relocation.
Why Use the Volume Estimator Tool?
Moving can be a complex and stressful experience, and having a clear understanding of the volume of your items can significantly reduce anxiety. The Volume Estimator Tool serves as a preliminary step in your moving journey, allowing you to:
Calculate the Total Volume: Get an estimate of the total volume of your belongings, which is essential for receiving accurate moving quotes.
Plan Efficiently: Knowing the volume can help you plan the logistics of your move, ensuring that you have the right size vehicle and minimizing potential costs.
Prepare for Packing: Understanding the volume will allow you to better prepare your packing strategy, ensuring that your items are packed securely and efficiently.
How the Volume Estimator Works
To start using the Volume Estimator Tool, simply click "Open Volume Estimator Tool" at the top of this page. The tool will open in a new window, making it easy for you to navigate without losing your place. Each room in your house is separated, and you can move between pages/rooms seamlessly. The information you input will be retained, so if you don't see an item listed in a particular room, it may appear later in the tool. This ensures that you can accurately record the number of small, medium, or large boxes you will need on your moving day, as well as the volume for each size.
As you input each item, the tool utilizes industry averages to provide an estimated volume for each piece. It's important to note that while the tool is comprehensive, it is not exhaustive. Therefore, if you have unique or oversized items, consider making additional notes.
Important Considerations for Accuracy
Empty Furniture Matters
One crucial detail to remember is that all furniture must be considered empty when calculating volume. You cannot plan to fill cabinets or drawers with clothes or boxes. This guideline is particularly relevant on the day of your move, as our professional drivers will need to load the actual items being transported onto the vehicle. Make sure to clear out drawers, cabinets, and any other storage areas before the move begins. If items are left inside furniture, it could lead to discrepancies in the calculated volume, potentially affecting your moving quote.
Digital Inventory and Weight Confirmation
After you've booked your move, you'll be issued a Digital Weight Confirmation Tool. This must be completed no later than 5 days before your intended moving date. This inventory tool will calculate the weight of your move based on the items listed. Accuracy is paramount; any inconsistencies could result in additional costs on the day of the move. The volume you estimate using the tool will play a significant role in this process, ensuring that your quotation reflects your needs.
Accessing Your Instant Quote
Once you've calculated the total volume of your move, the final page of the Volume Estimator Tool will feature a "Quote My Move" button. This button takes you directly to our Instant Quotation Tool, where you can obtain a detailed quote tailored to your estimated volume.
Getting an accurate quotation is essential for budgeting your move. Our goal is to provide you with transparent pricing that reflects your specific needs, without any hidden fees or surprises.

Why Accurate Volume Matters
An accurate volume calculation is critical for several reasons:
Cost Efficiency: Knowing the correct volume helps prevent unexpected charges. If the volume is underestimated, you may need to book a larger vehicle last minute, which could incur additional fees.
Proper Vehicle Selection: A correct volume estimation allows us to allocate the right size vehicle for your move. This ensures that your items are transported safely and efficiently.
Logistical Planning: Understanding the volume helps in planning the order of loading the vehicle, which can save time and minimize the risk of damage during transit.
