How many movers and hours you need
A local 2-bed with clean access is often three people and a 20 to 26 foot truck. A walk-up, a piano, or a long carry adds a fourth body or a second trip. Hours matter more than a magic headcount.

The ugly operational bit
A sofa that will not pivot on the stair is two people and ten extra minutes, every flight. That is how a four-hour quote becomes six.
Long-distance crews are a different math. Line-haul is weight or cube. Local origin and destination labor is hours.
