Residential moving:
A local move is a move that takes place in Montreal, either on the island of Montreal or in the surrounding areas (South Shore, North Shore), what we call the greater Montreal region.
In high season, i.e. the months of May, June and July, your move will be billed at a flat rate, a quote (estimated) will be made beforehand in order to set the price of transport with our moving truck and options. In certain cases it can also be done by hourly rate.
All our local moves are carried out on the same day, but to limit stress, some clients sometimes choose to have their move spread over several days. This is a more expensive choice but allows them to prepare and unpack at their own pace.
Long distance moving concerns any move that takes us more than 50 kilometers from Montreal is a long distance move. Pricing will be either by the hour or by flat rate, mileage fees will then be charged.
What is the Public Domain Occupation Permit?
In Montreal, depending on the boroughs, the city requires a permit, the public domain occupancy permit, so that you can reserve parking in front of your homes (moving, development) so that we can park our truck.
This regulation has existed for several years and is little or not applied. But depending on the arteries or districts, inspectors can fine you or us! The fines issued are very expensive and can exceed $500.00.
These permits are assigned by the city, and in some cases require payment.
Depending on your district, you must inquire with the city by calling 311, if necessary, the form and the request can be done online.
What equipment do you need to move?
When we move with our clean and checked truck, it is equipped with all the necessary equipment to prepare a professional move. Dozens of clean, padded blankets to protect your belongings, plastic film, skateboards, and protective mats for your floors are included in the service we offer you.
Plastic mattress covers are made compulsory for health measures (against bedbugs, among other things). It is advisable to obtain some before our arrival but otherwise, we also have some in the truck, only in Kings format at the cost of my supplier.
Commercial Moving:
A commercial move is a move where you must rigorously adapt to your sector of activity. We are aware that a relocation of offices or premises must be done in such a way as to reduce or limit the drop in your production. We will therefore adapt our schedules and the number of movers according to your request.
We offer an office dismantling and reassembly service.
Computer cabling must be carried out by a company specializing in the field.
Turnkey moving
A turnkey move is a move to Montreal where we take care of everything. A team of preparers, often two people, will come the day before or the day before your move to your home to do all your preparation. Estimated well in advance, our team of preparers will come with the required equipment: boxes, wrapping paper and finally everything needed for adequate preparation which will make your move stress-free, our movers appreciate these preparations, because carried out by professionals, everything will be ready before the arrival of the moving team.
It goes without saying that this type of move to Montreal has higher costs than an ordinary move, but busy people, the elderly and people with reduced mobility often opt for this option.
A turnkey move is a high-end move.
Even if all our moves are high-end, the price will remain competitive… if you are looking for quality, a job well done with professional, educated and friendly movers, don’t just look for cheap movers, look for movers who offer the quality of work well done by movers who love their work, look for a moving company that offers competition in order to have a fair price or no surprises will be charged to you, that’s why the movers of Plan Pas Con all offer this range of services.
Storage
We do not have a warehouse as such. But we work with just about every warehouse in Montreal and the greater Montreal area. We will be able to advise you where to book it depending on your place of residence or your future destination.
Depending on the size of your home or the quantity of items to be stored, here are the warehouse sizes to reserve. The staff working in the warehouses are most of the time qualified enough to recommend the right space to rent.
5 x 5 = 25 square feet Apartment 1 ½ – 2 ½
5 x 10 = 50 square feet Apartment 2 ½ – 3 ½
10 x 10 = 100 square feet Apartment 3 ½ – 4 ½
10 x 15 = 150 square feet Apartment 4 ½ – 5 ½

10 x 30 = 300 square feet 4-5 bedroom house
