How to Move a Multimillion Dollar Apartment

Behind the Scenes of a Luxury Apartment Move with Roadway

Imagine, for a moment, the confines of your one-bedroom apartment. It’s a space filled with memories, belongings, and a sense of comfort. Now, picture the process of moving out of that cozy haven, and instead of relocating to a larger space, you’re stepping into the intricate world of a luxury move.

As you stand amidst your belongings, contemplating the overwhelming task of packing up, you can’t help but wonder what it would be like to manage a move of grand proportions. The idea of moving from a small apartment alone feels like a Herculean feat.

Now, think about a multimillionaire’s luxurious apartment – the challenges and intricacies are bound to be mind-boggling.

You no longer need to wonder. We will guide you through the entire process and reveal all the necessary steps undertaken to make it all happen.

We are committed to putting our customers at the center of the entire process, tailor-making and customizing a luxury apartment move experience based on the type of needs and situations.

That is why we assign a seasoned project manager and a senior experienced move manager, to oversee every step of the journey.

Their experience is invaluable, having navigated countless luxury apartment moves, and their goal is to ensure everything unfolds seamlessly. They work closely with a dedicated relocation consultant to personalize the services and the experience catering them to circumstances.

The Planning Process

Moving is never a walk in the park, but when it involves sizable and exceptionally valuable properties, the process becomes significantly more complex. And what truly sets a luxury move apart from a standard one is the planning process.

Everything starts with an onsite estimate at your current location. As relocation consultant together with the project manager walk through your apartment, they capture every detail, from measurements to photos, even the surroundings.

They talk to building managers, gathering insights into scheduling, operational hours, and building requirements – this is where the complexity becomes apparent.

The Importance of the Inventory

You, the customer, are left with just one job – opening the door. Roadway takes care of everything else. Every item, from the delicate sculptures to the precious artworks, is treated with the utmost care.

Custom wooden crates, handcrafted by our in-house carpentry team, are tailor-made to protect your valuable possessions. Each fragile item is measured, weighed, and photographed to ensure a perfect fit.

Tracking all items meticulously and taking pictures during a move, especially for a luxurious villa, is essential to ensure that nothing is lost or damaged.

Imagine managing the move of a multimillionaire villa with around 600 items. For each item, you take at least one picture, sometimes more for valuable pieces, resulting in approximately 400-500 pictures.

This thorough documentation allows you to measure and pack each item correctly, ensuring everything fits perfectly in the moving trucks and is protected during transit.

With this approach, every piece of furniture, every appliance, and even smaller items like kitchenware and decor are accounted for.

This meticulous process not only provides peace of mind but also helps resolve any potential disputes with the moving company by having a clear, visual inventory.

Measuring the Space

But it’s not just about the belongings; it’s about the space. Measurements of doorways, hallways, and accessibility points are taken. We need to make sure that on moving day, our team can effortlessly transport items and crates without any surprises.

And if standard access won’t suffice, we’re prepared with solutions, like cranes, which require meticulous planning and advance bookings.

“During one of our luxury apartment moves, we encountered a fascinating challenge. The client had a magnificent marble dining table that simply wouldn’t fit through the narrow doorway of their pickup apartment.

Thankfully, due to our thorough assessments before the move, we had already anticipated this possibility. A crane was quickly arranged, ensuring it was booked and ready to go.

On moving day, as the marble table gracefully rose above the building and passed across the window of her 3^rd floor apartment, it was a moment that truly showcased Roadway’s dedication to precision and preparedness.

The client was thrilled, and so were we, for turning a potentially stressful situation into a memorable success”.  

Shaping the Move Plan

Once we create an electronic inventory with a barcoding system, the move plan takes shape. Both the project manager and relocation specialist revisit both addresses to ensure precise execution of the move plan.

In addition to our comprehensive moving services, we offer an exclusive concierge service.

A personalized Move Coordinator is assigned to assist and guide clients throughout the entire process.

Together with the senior relocation consultant, they revisit both locations to double-check everything and ensure we have the manpower and materials required for a successful move.

The timeline for each move depends on its size and scope. Once we determine these factors, we collectively decide on the necessary hours and personnel needed to complete the project.

A comprehensive move plan is then created, complete with dates, timing, daily schedules, and manpower details. This schedule is shared with the client for approval.

Once approved, here comes the magic: the moment of execution, when “we amaze the customer”, says Alex Artimon, Senior Relocation Consultant.

The Moving Day

On moving day, both locations, the old and the new, are meticulously secured. Walls, doors, stairs, and corners are all covered with double-walled moving pads.

Special runners and Masonite protect floors and walls, while silicone wheel moving trolleys prevent any unwanted scratches.

Your furniture and belongings are handled with utmost care, protected with gloves and special heavy-duty construction corners.

Luxury is in the details – we even use thick 3mm plastic bags, special boxes for mattresses and box springs, and custom wood crates for expensive and fragile items, all crafted in-house.

With your possessions safely transported to your new house, the journey reaches its conclusion.

The move has been a transformational experience, guided by Roadway Moving’s expertise and dedication to making this transition seamless and stress-free.
