Better moving leads
A name and two ZIP codes rarely describe the job. Structured intake surfaces workload and site constraints early.
Room-by-room choices, quantities, and photos create a scannable starting scope.
Conditional paths show access, storage, packing, or special-item questions only when relevant.
Tag requests by move type so the appropriate estimator receives the details.
Moving services
Change fields and routing to match your services and estimating process.
Rooms, boxes, furniture, access, and optional packing in a clear sequence.
Date windows, inventory, storage, vehicle transport, and survey preferences.
Floors, stairs, elevator bookings, loading rules, constraints, and parking.
Workstations, equipment, after-hours access, docks, contacts, and review triggers.
Quote intake workflow
Review the generated questions and connect submissions to follow-up.
Describe your jobs, service area, required details, and review triggers.
Edit inventory and services, require key fields, and hide irrelevant questions.
Share a link or embed the form on your quote page.
Send submissions to estimators, then request clarification or a survey when needed.
Intake options
A purpose-built form gathers comparable details while leaving room for personal follow-up.
Field guide
These six sections create a baseline you can adapt to your estimating process.
Customer details
Collect name, email, phone, preferred contact method, and the best time to respond. Add company and project contacts for business moves.
Locations & access
Ask about property type, floors, stairs, elevators, loading, constraints, parking, and time restrictions at both locations.
Inventory
Combine property size with item choices, box estimates, quantities, notes, and optional photos for unusual pieces.
Special handling
Ask about oversized, fragile, or high-care items, then request dimensions, weight estimates, photos, or access notes when relevant.
Schedule & services
Collect a preferred date and flexibility. List only the packing, storage, assembly, disposal, or transport services you offer.
Follow-up & review
Explain the next review step and ask which call, virtual survey, or onsite appointment windows work.

Practical answers for moving companies designing a clearer estimating intake.
It collects contact details, locations, dates, inventory, access, special items, and services before an estimate or survey. The submission starts your review process; it is not a confirmed booking or final price.
Include contact details, locations, dates, property types, rooms or workstations, inventory, access, special items, and service needs. Use conditional questions for apartment, long-distance, and commercial jobs.
Photos can clarify rooms, unusual furniture, and access routes. Keep uploads optional unless required, explain useful angles, and offer a call or survey as an alternative.
Yes. Start with move type, then show conditional sections for residential access, long-distance windows, or commercial equipment and docks. Each path can use different routing.
Ask separately for pickup and delivery: floors, stair flights, elevator availability and reservations, loading access, parking distance, narrow passages, and building time restrictions.
No. It gathers information for review. Explain whether an estimator will ask questions or arrange a survey before sending an estimate, so the request is not mistaken for a booking or final price.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free: you can generate, edit, publish, and collect submissions without a usage limit. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses arrive in your Makeform inbox and can flow to Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. Use the confirmation to explain your actual response timing and next step.
Replace vague moving inquiries with a usable scope.
