Smart move: This service is now available to help you when moving homes in Dubai. Virtual surveys are revolutionising how relocation businesses measure your area — saving you time and enhancing accuracy in the process. As the top movers in Dubai, we have perfected this decentralised way of communication making your packers & movers experience seamless.

How Virtual Surveys Eliminate Moving Day Surprises

The days when movers had to come to your home for estimates are gone. Today’s virtual surveys use:

• WhatsApp/Zoom video calls on your smartphone

• AI measuring tools that determine volumes using photos

• 360° image analysis to detect access issues

As an example, a recent group at Jumeirah Lakes Towers had an elevator that was narrow, which they too missed, but we picked up in our virtual survey. That helped us bring specialised equipment on moving day.

The 3-Step Virtual Survey Process

1. Digital Walk through (15 Minutes)

You’ll show:

• All rooms and storage areas
• Large furniture pieces
• Building access points

2. AI-Assisted Measurements

Our system analyses:

• Staircase angles
• Doorway widths
• Parking to elevator distance

3. Customised Moving Plan

You receive:

✔ Precise cost estimate

✔ Packing timeline

✔ Special handling notes

When Virtual Works Best

Ideal For:

• Moving apartments (especially in a high-rise building such as Marina or Business Bay)
• Clients whose stuff was jammed in
• Last-minute relocation

Still Recommend Physical Surveys For:

• Villas with complex layouts
• Items that are a typically used or worth a mint
• Offices with sensitive equipment

Preparing for Your Virtual Survey

Save Hours Down the Road With 5 Minutes of Prep:

1. Let in natural light — open curtains
2. Make way for visible foot traffic
3. Be prepared with floor plans (if applicable)
4. Observe any building move-in policies

Pro Tip: Schedule your survey at the same time of day that you plan to move – this helps to gauge parking and elevator availability.
