In short. A move goes well when it is prepared in stages: the building, the furniture to take apart, packing, moving day, then settling in. This guide follows that order and flags what people forget. Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com) connect you with a professional, free quote.
What is decided long before the truck turns up
People often think a move begins when the boxes go down the stairs. In truth most of the tension starts earlier: an access nobody checked, a wardrobe too big for the stairwell, a parking question never asked. A few days spent scouting everything avoids most surprises.
For a full request, the moving service covers transport and help settling in: you describe the old place, the new one and the items, then receive a personalised, free quote. The moving page shows the possible options.
Building, lift, parking: three questions about access
Two addresses, two sets of constraints. At both ends you need to know whether the lift can be used, whether there is a size limit, whether the truck can park near the entrance and whether the building manager or neighbours must be told.
These three topics come up every time, and it is better to settle them in writing than on the pavement on the day. The article on moving out of a building: lift, building manager, parking and truck gives a list of questions to ask that applies well beyond a single city.
Furniture to dismantle: who does it and how to ask
A wardrobe that will not fit through the door, a bed in several parts, a fitted kitchen unit: anything that must be taken apart is prepared separately. It is not only a technical matter but one of timing too, since dismantling comes before loading and reassembly after arrival.
To see how to word this part of the request and how it unfolds, read dismantling and reassembling furniture during a move. It also explains when payment is made.
Pack, label, protect
A well-filled box is heavy but steady; an overfilled one collapses. A few habits protect belongings and save time on arrival.
- Label each box with the room it is going to.
- Keep fragile items apart and mark them clearly.
- Keep important papers, medicines and keys with you.
- Protect furniture corners and glass surfaces.
- Pack an overnight bag with the essentials for the first evening.
Moving day
On the day, having one person who knows both homes saves precious time. They say where each thing goes, open the way and settle the small questions nobody foresaw.
Keep the passage clear, cover the floors and keep children and pets away during the lifting. If an item looks too heavy or bulky to get through safely, talk it over with the professional instead of forcing it.
After arrival
Once the boxes are down, take time to check the furniture and fragile items before the movers leave. If damage shows, report it quickly through AdomApp with photos.
Reassembly, putting appliances back and tidying then happen at your own pace. The first days also help you spot what is missing: meters, connections, small adjustments.
Ask, compare, pay
Adom connects, it does not employ: the mover is an independent professional who answers your request. No price is displayed, because it depends on volume, access and the services asked for. Each request receives a personalised, free quote on AdomApp, and payment comes after the service.
When the home changes, so does the children's day
A move shakes small children's landmarks: a new room, a new area, new routines. If you are looking for someone you can trust to look after your children during the busy days, the next guide explains how to choose well.

Frequently asked questions
How far ahead should a move be organised?
As early as possible, once the date is roughly fixed. That leaves time to settle access and compare quotes.
Do I need to tell the building manager or the neighbours?
Often yes, above all for the lift and the truck's parking. Ask about the building's rules before the day.
Who takes furniture apart and puts it back together?
That is specified in the request. List the furniture concerned so the quote allows for dismantling and reassembly.
How much does a move cost?
The price varies with volume, access and the services chosen. Adom does not display a fixed rate: the quote is personalised and free on AdomApp.
What if something is damaged in transit?
Report it on delivery, with photos, through AdomApp. Payment comes after the service, so you can check before paying.
