Relocating to a new home is a significant milestone, and while the process can feel overwhelming, hiring a professional moving company can ease the stress considerably. At Brocky’s Movers, we take pride in delivering smooth, stress-free moves across the Sunshine Coast and beyond. If you’re planning a house move and want to know what to expect from professional movers, this guide outlines every key step of the process.
1. Pre-Move Consultation and Quote
The process starts with a consultation—either in person, online, or over the phone. This is when you’ll provide key details such as:
- The size of your home (e.g., number of bedrooms)
- The origin and destination addresses
- Any large, fragile, or high-value items
- Preferred moving dates
Based on this information, the moving company will provide a tailored quote. At Brocky’s Movers, we offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Packing Services (Optional)
If you opt for packing assistance, the moving team will arrive before moving day to professionally pack your belongings. This includes:
- Using strong, high-quality boxes
- Wrapping fragile items securely
- Labeling boxes by room and contents
Packing services save time and reduce the risk of damage during transport. You can also choose partial packing for only specific items like glassware, artwork, or electronics.
3. Supply of Packing Materials
Whether you pack yourself or request packing help, your moving company can provide all necessary supplies:
- Boxes (various sizes)
- Packing tape and bubble wrap
- Furniture blankets and shrink wrap
- Wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes
Brocky’s Movers can supply all these materials to ensure you’re fully prepared for the move.
4. Moving Day Arrival and Preparation
On moving day, your movers will arrive on time with the right-sized truck, necessary equipment, and a plan. They’ll typically start by:
- Taking a quick walkthrough of your home
- Protecting flooring and walls (if needed)
- Disassembling furniture if required
You’ll be informed every step of the way to make sure everything runs on schedule.
5. Loading the Truck
The movers will load your items efficiently and securely:
- Heavy and sturdy items go in first
- Fragile items are cushioned and secured
- Boxes are stacked carefully to prevent shifting
Professional movers are trained to maximise space while protecting your belongings during transit.
6. Transport and Communication
Once everything is loaded, your movers will head to the new address. Reliable companies like Brocky’s Movers keep in communication with you throughout the drive, so you’re never left wondering where your things are or when they’ll arrive.
7. Unloading and Placement
Upon arrival at your new home, the movers will:
- Unload all boxes and furniture
- Place items in the correct rooms
- Reassemble furniture if included in your service
If you’ve labelled your boxes or directed the team, this part of the move can be completed efficiently and exactly how you want it.
8. Post-Move Clean-Up and Final Checks
Some moving services include light clean-up, removing packing debris, or taking away used boxes. Your movers will also:
- Double-check the truck to ensure nothing is left behind
- Review the job with you to confirm everything is complete
You’ll also have the opportunity to raise any questions or concerns before the team leaves.
9. Optional Unpacking Services
Some clients prefer to add unpacking services to speed up the settling-in process. This may include:
- Unboxing and placing items
- Removing packing materials
- Organising essentials
At Brocky’s Movers, we can tailor these services to your specific needs and timeline.
