How Moving Costs Are Calculated

A moving calculator usually works by checking:

1. House Size

Bedsitter
1 Bedroom
2 Bedroom
3 Bedroom
4 Bedroom+

2. Distance

Are you moving:

within the same estate?
across Nairobi?
to another county?

3. Furniture Volume

More furniture = larger truck + more movers.

4. Packing Requirements

Do you need:

wrapping
boxing
labeling
unpacking?

5. Floor Access

Moving from a 4th-floor apartment without a lift will affect labor and time.

6. Fragile or Bulky Items

TVs, mirrors, fridges, glass tables, and wardrobes require extra care.
