Why Relo Prep
We save you money on three fronts — materials, breakages, and hidden labour.
Most moves blow their budget on things that were foreseeable. Our job is to foresee them on paper so you don't pay for them on move day.
Materials
Buy the right boxes, in the right volume, at half the retail markup.
We size your move precisely — no 'just in case' extras, no last-minute runs to the hardware store.
Breakages
Protect the pieces that are actually worth protecting.
A wrap protocol per high-value item. Crews that know what is fragile don't treat the whole load like it is.
Hidden labour
Kill the shuttle fee before it hits the invoice.
We audit access at both ends. The 'ferry vehicle' surprise is the most expensive line item you will never see coming.
How it works
Three steps to a zero-surprise move.
You tell us the job. We build the blueprint. Your removalist executes — without improvising, without surprise fees.
- 01Audit
Walk the job — on-site or virtual.
We verify access, volume, and high-risk items. 45 minutes is usually enough.
- 02Plan
Receive the blueprint — plus the videos.
Written plan (access, pack sequence, materials, vehicle sizing, risk log) delivered as a PDF. Plus access to our short-video library for packing and wrapping technique, and a live call for anything unusual.
- 03Execute
You run it — or your removalist does.
Pack it yourself with our video library, or hand the plan to a crew. Either way, nothing is improvised on the day — and you keep the skillset for next time.
Services

What clients actually avoid
The $1,000 move-day surprises we plan out — on paper.
Every one of these has a line item on the quote. We price the avoidance at $125 — flat. The maths is not subtle.
- ~ $1,200
Emergency shuttle vehicle fee
Narrow street or long carry not flagged in advance? Your removalist prices it on the day.
- ~ $1,600
Upgraded truck mid-move
Volume estimate was wrong. Now you are paying for a second, larger vehicle.
- ~ $600
Materials bought at retail
Boxes, wrap, tape at hardware-store prices. Ordered in a panic, over-specified.
- Priceless
Claim on an unwrapped heirloom
No inventory, no wrap protocol, no standing. Insurance does not pay out on 'should have'.
Top questions
The first things people ask.
Full list on the FAQs page.
Do you actually do the packing and moving?+
No — we are a pre-move consultancy. We plan the move so your removalists and packers are faster, cheaper, and less likely to hit surprises. Think of us as the architect and the removalist as the builder.What areas do you service?+
We are based in Sadliers Crossing and service moves across Ipswich, Brisbane, and greater south-east Queensland for in-person audits. Virtual audits and strategy sessions are available anywhere in Australia.How soon before my move should I book?+
For interstate or international moves, ideally 4–6 weeks out so there is still time to act on the recommendations. Local moves benefit from 1–2 weeks of lead time. Single-item audits can be booked at short notice.Do the bundles include anything physical?+
No. Our deliverables are consults and written plans (PDF). You purchase materials and removalist services directly, using our sourcing guidance to avoid paying retail markup.
