Household change
A household requesting full room-by-room packing before moving day

Packing and preparation · Ottawa
Full or partial packing help using an organized, room-by-room approach. Start with the properties, inventory, access and date so the scope reflects what moving day will really involve.
Who this service is for
Ottawa households and organizations seeking full, partial or selected-room packing help before a move, with materials and labels organized around the inventory.
Full or partial packing help using an organized, room-by-room approach. The service is scoped after reviewing what will be moved, which tasks the customer wants ProMove to complete, and what conditions apply at every stop. This prevents a broad service label from replacing the details needed for responsible planning.

Common moving situations
These examples describe common planning contexts. The final service scope is always based on the customer’s confirmed move.
A household requesting full room-by-room packing before moving day
A customer packing most items but needing help with fragile contents
A busy family needing kitchen, library or home-office packing support
An office preparing boxed non-sensitive contents by department
Preparation process
Each step turns assumptions into usable information for the customer and moving team.
Decide which rooms, categories and items are included in the packing work
Set aside valuables, documents, medication and items travelling personally
Declutter before packing so unwanted items are not prepared for transport
Identify fragile, sentimental and unusually shaped items in advance
Create a clear label and destination-room system
Protection and equipment
Protection decisions depend on the item, the property and the path between the vehicle and room.

Scope decisions
These decisions separate a service name from the actual work, responsibilities and conditions that need to appear in the moving plan.
A household requesting full room-by-room packing before moving day This situation should be recorded with the origin, destination, requested date and the belongings affected by the request. Matches box sizes and protective materials to suitable contents The customer should also explain whether ProMove Ottawa is expected to complete the task, coordinate it with another service or simply plan around work handled by somebody else. Declutter before packing so unwanted items are not prepared for transport That distinction keeps the written scope useful and prevents an informal assumption from becoming a moving-day delay.

Access assessment
Access is assessed as a complete truck-to-room path at both properties, not as a single question about stairs.
Workspace available for assembling and staging boxes Document this condition for both addresses, including the lawful vehicle position, the carrying path, door and elevator restrictions, and the person responsible for providing access. Tape and labels applied to create closed, identifiable cartons The handling plan should connect that protection requirement with the actual route rather than assuming the same method works at every property. Packing documents, keys or medication needed during the move Photos, measurements and current building instructions can resolve uncertainty before the crew and vehicle are scheduled.

Estimate inputs
A useful estimate is based on disclosed work and constraints. It is not a generic price attached to the service label.
Number of rooms and volume of contents Explain the relevant quantity, size, timing or property condition instead of leaving the factor as a broad note. Set aside valuables, documents, medication and items travelling personally The estimate review should identify which facts are confirmed, which are provisional and which require a photo, measurement or building response. Last-minute decluttering can interrupt an organized packing sequence If the inventory, access or requested support changes, the customer should report it before moving day so the written scope and operating plan can be reviewed together.
