Why we wrote this
Renovation pack-and-store is one of the most under-explained moves in the industry. Most removalists treat it as ‘two moves and storage’ rather than the 6-month logistics project it actually is. This planner gives you the timeline that works, the checklist of what to flag, and the climate-control questions to ask any storage provider.
What’s in the planner
The 6-month timeline. Pre-build (week -2 to 0): pack and store. Build months 1–4: the storage hold. Build month 5–6: prep for move-back. Move-back week.
The itemised checklist. Wooden furniture. Photos. Art. Electronics. Clothes. Sentimental items. Each gets its own column for: store / pack into rental / leave on-site.
Climate control questions. Self-storage units (dry but not temperature-stabilised) vs climate-controlled (proper temperature stability). Why it matters for wood, art, photos and electronics over a 4–6 month period.
Mid-storage access plan. What to label clearly. How long the notice period is for pulling a box. How to budget for it.
The move-back-in. What’s different from a regular move. Why getting the same crew at both ends matters.
