The removal inspection is often the decisive moment: if you clearly record all the details on site, you reduce the number of enquiries, avoid under/overvaluations and secure faster orders. You won't forget anything with our tried-and-tested checklist.

1. record customer data

• Name, address, telephone number, e-mail
• Desired removal date
• Special features (e.g. temporary storage, company move)

2. record flat data

• Number of rooms, cellar, attic, garage
• Floors & access (lift available?)
• Walking routes, parking facilities on site

3. create a list of removal goods

• Furniture & large appliances (dimensions, special features)
• Estimate cardboard requirements
• Make a note of furniture that can be dismantled
• Mark sensitive items

4. special requirements

• Dismantling/assembly of kitchens or cupboards
• Connection of electrical appliances
• Disposal of bulky waste

5. documentation with photos

• Photographing rooms (with consent)
• Documenting special features such as narrow stairs

Use digital tools such as FastMove to create the list directly on site. Take photos, keep notes in real time - this saves you rework and gives you a complete log. Also save the location and date for better documentation.

A clear checklist makes the inspection more efficient and gives customers a feeling of professionalism. This increases your chances of a successful contract award.
