Volume
Estimating the volume of your move.
The volume, in m³, determines the size of the truck, the number of movers and the time needed. Here are some benchmarks to give you a first idea.
Typical volumes
- Studio: about 10 to 15 m³.
- One-bedroom apartment: about 20 to 25 m³.
- Two to three-bedroom apartment: about 30 to 45 m³.
- Family house: often 50 to 80 m³, sometimes more.
What affects the volume
- Antique or solid furniture, which takes up more space than flat-pack furniture.
- Cellars, attics, garages and gardens, often forgotten in the estimate.
- The number of boxes: often around ten boxes per room.
Why a visit is still essential
These benchmarks do not replace an on-site estimate. During the free visit, our advisor assesses the actual volume as well as access (floors, lift, carrying distance), which matter just as much for the price. The quote is then drawn up on that basis.
The same applies to storage: a 12 m³ box is about a studio, a 35 m³ container about a two to three-bedroom apartment.
