Pricing: you'll always know the number before you commit

Every family's move is different, so we don't do one-size-fits-all price lists β€” we do something better: an exact, written number for your situation, in your inbox, before any work starts. Here's how it works.

Start small

The Discovery & Feedback Session β€” our 70-point questionnaire plus detailed written feedback β€” is a simple flat fee, quoted when you email us. One email, one number, no meter running.

Bigger work gets a written estimate first

The Relocation Analysis Report, Move Coordination Retainer and Document Pack are scoped to your family. Before anything starts you receive a written proposal: exactly what's included, the hours behind it, the timeline, and the total.

You approve, then we start

Signed agreement, invoice by email, EFT in rands to our FNB account. No online payments, no card details, no auto-renewals.

No surprise invoices β€” ever

If scope grows mid-project, we tell you and re-quote before doing the extra work. If we can't deliver a booked session, you get a full refund.

We reply within a couple of hours with an honest recommendation β€” including "you don't need a paid service yet" when that's the truth.

What does an hour of specialist time cost in Canada?

Our consulting rate is roughly CAD $95 per hour (about R1,700). Here's where that sits on Canada's wage ladder β€” approximate 2026 figures; actual wages vary by province and role:

Minimum wage
β‰ˆ $17/hr
Retail cashier
β‰ˆ $20/hr
Long-haul truck driver
β‰ˆ $35/hr
Registered nurse
β‰ˆ $50/hr
Project manager
β‰ˆ $65/hr
Senior engineer
β‰ˆ $85/hr
Cape2Canadaour rate
β‰ˆ $95/hr Β· Β±R1,700
Executive (β‰ˆ $200k/yr)
β‰ˆ $100/hr
Specialist consultants
$150–$300/hr

Specialist consulting in Canada β€” legal, engineering, management, cross-border β€” typically bills $150–$300 per hour. We deliberately price below that band: specialist help at less than an executive's hourly cost, and you rarely buy many hours of it β€” most of our work is fixed-quote, so the meter isn't running while you think. What you're paying for is the both-sides experience that stops the expensive mistakes β€” one mistimed house sale, wrong-province landing or botched shipping decision costs a family more than every hour we'd ever bill.

Common pricing questions

Why don't you list package prices on the site?

Our hourly rate is public β€” roughly CAD $95 (about R1,700) β€” but package totals depend on your scope: a single professional's move and a family of five with a house to sell and three schools to research are different projects. Instead of a misleading one-size number, you get an exact written quote for your situation, usually within a couple of hours, before you commit to anything.

What currency do I pay in?

Rands. Invoices are issued by email and paid by EFT to our First National Bank (FNB) account β€” no forex hassle, no online card payments.

What if the work takes longer than estimated?

Estimates are ours to honour. If your scope genuinely changes β€” you add a service, or your situation shifts β€” we re-quote in writing first. We never bill hours you didn't approve.

Is there anything free?

Plenty: ten in-depth guides, a blog with new articles daily, and email questions β€” general questions get a free, honest answer. Start there; pay only when you want work done on your specific move.
