EMS
Virtual moving surveys

Every item counted.
No truck required.

We walk your home over a video call and log every room as we go. You get an itemized inventory with real cubic feet and pounds behind it, and a quote built on that inventory instead of a guess.

How it works

Three steps, one afternoon.

No site visit to schedule around, and nothing to install. You pick a time, we do the rest on a call.

STEP 01

Book a time

Pick a slot that suits you. We send a link that opens straight in your browser.

STEP 02

Walk us through

Around 20 to 30 minutes on video. You carry the camera, we log every room as we go.

STEP 03

Get your inventory

An itemized manifest with volume and weight, and a quote built on top of it.

What you get

A document, not a phone number.

Most estimates arrive as a single figure with nothing behind it. Yours arrives as the inventory it was calculated from, so you can check it line by line.

  • Every item, with quantity, volume and weight
  • Totals broken down room by room and location by location
  • A link back to the recording of your survey
  • A quote built on those numbers, not on a walkthrough impression

Why we built it this way
A surveyor used to drive an hour each way to write down what was in your living room. We just look at it together.

Based on a 40-mile round trip for an in-home estimate, at the EPA's average of roughly 400 g of CO₂ per mile for a passenger vehicle. Your own distance will differ; the arithmetic is here so you can check it.

Moving specialists on hand at every step, with advice that comes from having run the survey themselves.

What customers say

Nobody misses the clipboard.

The objection is always the same before the call, and never the same after it.

I was sceptical that a video call could replace someone walking round with a clipboard. The inventory that came back listed things I had forgotten I owned, down to the cubic foot.

We got three estimates for a Boston to Austin move. EMS was the only one that showed us the numbers behind the price instead of just handing us a total.

Questions

Before you point a camera at your own house.

The things people actually ask on the booking call.

Still not answered? A surveyor will talk it through with you, with no obligation to book. +1 857 302 2407
Do I need to install anything?

No. We send a link that opens straight in your browser, on a phone, tablet or laptop. There is no app, no account and no download. If you can open a web page, you can do the survey.

How long does it take?

Around 20 to 30 minutes for a typical two or three bedroom home. Larger properties, offices and jobs with a storage unit take longer, and we will tell you the estimate when you book rather than surprising you on the day.

What if my connection drops mid-survey?

Nothing is lost. Every item is saved to your inventory as it is logged, not at the end, so we pick up from the room we were in. If the connection is poor throughout, we can finish the remaining rooms on a second short call.

How accurate is the quote, really?

It is calculated from an itemized inventory, where each item carries its own volume and weight and those roll up per room and per location. That is a very different thing from someone estimating a house from the doorway. You get the full list, so anything that looks wrong can be corrected before the price is fixed.

Is the call recorded, and who can see it?

Yes, the survey is recorded so the team planning your move can refer back to it, and so we can settle any question about what was counted. Access is limited to staff working on your job.

What about my storage unit and my garage?

They are part of the same job. A survey can cover several locations, each with its own rooms, and the totals roll up across all of them so the quote reflects everything that is actually moving.

Can I change things after the call?

Yes. Items can be added, adjusted or removed after the survey and the totals recalculate. The latest we can take changes is the day before the move, so the quote can be revised and the dispatch team notified in time to assign the right size truck and crew.

Do you handle office, military and international moves?

Yes. Homes, offices, storage, military, COD and international relocations are all surveyed the same way. International moves lean on the volume figures more heavily, which is exactly what this process produces.
