What changes the estimate
Origin & destination
Used to compute driving miles in the live calculator (OSRM) and to classify local vs long-distance.
Distance
Local model at or under 100 miles (hourly). Longer routes use weight × miles line haul.
Home size / inventory
Studio–4+ maps to planning cubic feet until a scan or item list replaces it.
Volume & weight
Weight ≈ cubic feet × 7 lb/cu.ft. when only volume is known.
Access
Stairs, elevator, long carry, and tight access exist in the estimate model. The public calculator currently applies packing, scan/catalog volume, and specialty/piano from detected items. Stairs and long-carry are confirmed with a coordinator — they are not a silent public-form input.
Packing & specialty
Optional add-ons on the quote — not included in default planning tables.
Move date
Peak season, weekends, and month-end can raise the range in the live calculator.
Methodology
Distance means road / driving miles. Corridor pages use a cached representative driving distance between city centers. The live calculator recomputes driving miles for the exact addresses you enter. Those two will be close, not identical. Straight-line (great-circle) miles are not the moving distance.
- Planning range. What the model shows from size, miles, and options you entered. Not a binding quote.
- Confirmed price. One working number after inventory/access review. Discounts apply only to this number.
- Paid / remaining. What has been collected vs what is still due. A 30% deposit is only of the discounted confirmed price, and only inside the lock triangle.
