Open assumptions

How the example is calculated

2-mover crew + vehicle

Example labour rate · CAD

$120/ hour

3-mover crew + vehicle

Example labour rate · CAD

$165/ hour

4-mover crew + vehicle

Example labour rate · CAD

$225/ hour

Illustrative rates only. A $75 vehicle fee applies once; the model uses a two-hour minimum. Equipment, actual crew size and scope require assessment. Taxes and specialist work are excluded.

Example total = $75 vehicle fee + (crew rate × crew hours) + ($2.85 × outside-Perimeter return km) + ($150 × storage months).

Base hours by size: studio 2.5; 1 bedroom 3; 2 bedrooms 4; 3 bedrooms 5; 4+ bedrooms 6. The first three use a 2-mover rate, then 3 and 4 movers respectively.

Estimated crew hours = base + one-way km ÷ 30 + access allowance + packing allowance. Elevator coordination adds 0.5 hours; stairs/long carry adds 1 hour. Partial/full packing adds 1/2 hours.

The range uses hours −0.5 and hours +0.5, with a two-hour minimum. Distance ÷ 30 is an example travel-time assumption, not a route forecast. Complex office and long-distance requests require scope review and show no automatic price.
