Usually, subject to the building or community. Gated villa communities issue a gate pass rather than a building permit. Weekend slots cost more than a weekday equivalent because crews are on premium hours, and some communities prohibit weekend moving outright.

It depends on volume and access rather than distance. A surveyor measures the load in cubic metres, checks the lift and the walk from where the truck can legally stand, and issues a fixed written price. Generous plots and wide roads make full-size truck access straightforward.

Villa moves are won and lost on the driveway, not the doorway. A full-size truck needs somewhere to stand, and a gated community that caps vehicle size forces a shuttle and a second run.
