Cost Factors

What Affects the Price?

Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately for your project

Access

Apartments without lifts (or small lifts) take longer. External elevators (elevador de fachada) save time but cost extra.

Packing

Full packing service doubles the labour time but insures against breakage.

Distance

Moves within the same town are cheaper. Trips >50km incur fuel/time surcharges.

Assembly

Dismantling and reassembling furniture adds hours to the job.
