Who this template is for

Moving Inventory Checklist is built for builders, electricians, plumbers and contractors who need to scope a job and price it without a site visit for every enquiry.

  • Builders, electricians, plumbers and contractors working in home services & trades.
  • Teams who need to scope a job and price it without a site visit for every enquiry without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing quoting blind and travelling out for work that never lands with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are homeowners and site managers — the form asks them 14 questions across 2 screens.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of quoting blind and travelling out for work that never lands and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 4 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
  • It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
  • Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “High-value items and declared value” is answered, the form dynamically exposes “Would you like extra insurance cover?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Confirm this inventory is accurate” is No, the form dynamically exposes “What still needs adding?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features conditional validation: if “Confirm this inventory is accurate” is No, “What still needs adding?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
  • All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

An indicative quote becomes a firm price the moment both sides agree what is actually being moved, and this checklist is where that happens. It walks the customer room by room rather than asking for a total volume nobody can estimate, which produces a materially more accurate list. The box estimate is asked separately because boxes are the item customers most consistently undercount. The second page covers what changes the crew, the vehicle and the insurance: appliances needing disconnection, furniture needing dismantling, items that are explicitly not moving, and high-value pieces with a declared value. Listing anything high-value reveals an insurance note and an offer of extra cover, which is the conversation you want on record before moving day rather than after a scratch. A final accuracy confirmation makes the list something both parties rely on. Photographs finish the file so the crew arrives knowing what to expect.

How the form changes as it's filled in

This template ships with 3 conditional rules, grouped into 3 behaviours driven by 2 questions. Everything below is already set up — edit or delete any rule once the template is in your workspace.

Driven by “High-value items and declared value

  • Reveals questions

    If “High-value items and declared value” is answered, the form reveals “Would you like extra insurance cover?”.

Driven by “Confirm this inventory is accurate

  • Reveals questions

    If “Confirm this inventory is accurate” is No, the form reveals “What still needs adding?”.

  • Makes answers required

    If “Confirm this inventory is accurate” is No, “What still needs adding?” becomes required before the form can be submitted.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Send it right after the quote

    Customers complete an inventory when the move feels real; a week before the date is too late to change the crew.

  2. 2

    Ask for the not-moving list

    Items being sold or left behind cause as many disputes as items being taken.

  3. 3

    Price boxes from the estimate, then add half

    Customers underestimate box counts consistently, so plan capacity above the stated number.

  4. 4

    Confirm declared values in writing

    Extra cover has to be arranged before the van is loaded, not after something is damaged.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Accepting a total volume figure instead of a room-by-room list.
  • Missing dismantling requirements, then losing two hours to a bed frame on the day.
  • Recording high-value items without agreeing the declared value or cover.

What it pairs with

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the moving inventory checklist, matched on the words people actually search for.

Frequently asked questions

Is an inventory legally binding?

It supports the estimate and any insurance claim, but check what your own terms say about variations discovered on the day.

What if the customer forgets something?

The accuracy confirmation gives them a place to say so, and the follow-up question captures late additions before the move.

Do I need photos as well?

For high-value or awkward items, yes. For ordinary furniture the written list is enough.

Where does it fit in the process?

Between the Moving Quote Request and the Moving Day Access & Confirmation Form.
