House shifting in Dhaka: the complete moving-day checklist

Moving home in Dhaka is easier when the hard decisions are made before the truck arrives. This is the checklist our supervisors give every family we move.

Two weeks before

  • Book a free survey visit so the team sees your items, floors, lift and road access. Your quotation is then fixed — no surprises on the day.
  • Tell your building caretaker and the new building the moving date and time. Many buildings only allow moving during set hours.
  • Decide what you will not take. Selling or donating now means fewer cartons, a smaller truck and a lower price.

One week before

  • Start packing things you rarely use: books, seasonal clothes, decoration items.
  • Label every carton with the room name. Our team uses these labels to place cartons in the right room at your new home.
  • Book AC, geyser and washing machine opening if you need it. Our technicians can open and refit them on the same day.

The day before

  • Defrost and dry the fridge.
  • Keep jewellery, cash, documents and medicines in one bag that travels with you.
  • Charge your phone and keep the supervisor's number handy — you will get it by SMS.

On moving day

  • Walk through each room with the supervisor before loading starts.
  • Check cupboards and the roof before leaving.
  • At the new home, tell the team where the heavy furniture should go before they carry it in.
