How Much Time Does The Entire Relocation Process Take?

How much time does the entire relocation process take? Unfortunately, there is no hard and fast rule to find out how much time your relocation process is going to take. It depends upon how active you are. It depends whether you have performed a move before or not. It would also be determined by the number of cargo items that you have to transport. 

If you are hiring a professional packers and movers company, it might take a lot less time to complete this move. But then there is also a question of how skilled those people are. How experienced they are is going to determine how fast they can move you from one place to another.

But let’s just give you a quick glance at how many hours on average it is going to take for you to move out of your old home to your new property in the following section:

• Let’s say you have a studio apartment or a one-bedroom home, so the square footage should be around 400 ft² to 600 ft². An average estimate for the move to take should be around 2 or 3 hours. You will max out at 4.

• If you have a two-bedroom apartment, the square footage area should turn out to be somewhere close to 800 ft². The average moving time should be up to 5 or 6 hours.

• If you have a three-bedroom place, the square footage should turn out to be around 1300 ft² and the average moving time should be up to 7 hours.

• In case you have a big four-bedroom house, the square footage will be around 1,800 ft² and the total moving time should be between 6 and 8 hours.

• If you have a massive five-bedroom house, the square footage will be somewhere around 2,000 ft² or a little more than that. You should take at least 9 or 10 hours to move from this place to another similar property.

These estimates are calculated assuming that you have hired a professional and they work constantly throughout the day.

But then what about the factors that we mentioned above? What about the pre-move planning? What about your skills and whether you are experienced in packing and moving or not?

Yes, let’s get on with those factors:

Preparing For Your Move

Again, this is going to determine how long you take to pack all your stuff for the final move. If you have performed this before on your own, you probably are aware of where the packing boxes are and know what packing materials you are going to need to pack your stuff yourself. If it is an interstate move, you know already that you have to pack or start packing at least one week before the moving date. If you have decided to give this responsibility to a removalist, it is better to hand them the packing materials yourself. This is because some movers do charge a little extra for the packing materials that they provide.

Is It A Long-Distance Relocation?

Is it a long-distance move? This means that you are going to be packing everything that you own. A lot of that stuff will be put on your garage sale as well but then you will be packing a lot of cargo. This is where you might need the help of a professional. If you are trying to transport your vehicle to another state, you will have to fulfill registration and insurance-related formalities as well. Initiate those at least a month before you transport your vehicle to your destination.

Organizing The Garage Sale

Yes, this is also something that you will have to factor in. What if you are not able to sell the items that you do not want anymore? What if it takes a lot more time than expected? This is why it is always advised to begin at least 2 weeks before the moving day. Segregate all the items that you do not need anymore and organize a garage sale quickly. Do not try to make a profit from your used items. You are trying to get rid of the things that are only going to create unnecessary clutter in your new home. Therefore, let them go at whatever price you can get for them. This will shorten your relocation process on a moving day.

How Swift Are Your Packers And Movers?

This is where the skills and experience of the removalist come into play. Any local long-distance movers that you have hired should know how to pack and move stuff. If they do not have adequate experience, you are never going to make it in time. Your entire relocation process is going to get delayed because someone is not adequately trained or experienced in this kind of move in the first place. Yes, we are talking about your packing and moving company. They must have experience in moving their clients from their old home to their new location as fast as possible. They should always have a proper process in place. The staff members should make sure that all of their actions are well coordinated. They will also have to ensure that there is no duplication of effort at all to minimize time wastage.

Loading Time Matters A Lot

You can make a difference here. If you want, you can assist the packers and movers in loading the truck. It is always the best approach to take if you are trying to speed up the moving process. Sitting idle and looking at the packers and movers doing all the work is not the right thing to do. You can be as useful as you want to be. Ask them if they need your help. Get all the clutter out of their way. Clear out the passageways. Keep the doors open. Give them as much support as they want to speed up the moving process.

At The End Of The Day

At the end of the day, you want the moving process to be faster. It is always better to assist the packers and movers whenever they want any help from you. You should be as active as the professionals if not more. Again, it will all boil down to whether you have packed and moved before from one location to another or not and whether you have associated with the right packers and movers in your city or not.
