About this course

This course plans a fictional family's house move from first list to moving day. You turn a furniture inventory into cubic metres with a volume table and add an allowance for boxes, estimate boxes and tape from shelf metres, compare four hire vans by trips, hire days and kilometres, and build DIY, hybrid and removal-firm quotes on the same cost drivers. You then count back packing evenings with WORKDAY, price the overlap of old and new home from notice periods and daily rent, test whether furniture fits through doors and under ceilings with SQRT, and finish with a dashboard of overdue tasks and budget vs actual.
