- Not to Exceed Estimate - An agreement between the customer and COR-O-VAN to perform services, and only those services, detailed for a fixed ceiling price. In the event that the job takes less time and/or material or equipment, that estimated price can be lower then the estimate.
- Time and Materials - An agreement between the customer and COR-O-VAN to perform requested services at the rates outlined in the estimate. This estimate is no more than an idea of what may be the charges for the services.

Floor plans are a necessary tool when planning a move. For moving purposes, the floor plan is a map of the new space and should be posted in clear view so that the movers can refer to it for the proper placement of furniture and office contents. The floor plan should clearly show the associated move number of each office, workstation and common work area in the new space.
