Key Relocation Information & Owner Guide
Below is an overview of what to prepare before, during, and after your house relocation project.
Owner Responsibilities Prior to Move
- Council Consents: Obtain all building consents and provide stamped plans to the contractor prior to start.
- Site Preparation: Clear access routes, remove overhanging trees, fences, steps, concrete, and asbestos.
- Service Disconnections: Ensure all power, gas, water, and telecom lines are properly disconnected by licensed tradespeople.
- Insurance: Maintain comprehensive building and transit insurance for your structure at all times.
Driveways, Paths & Normal Settlement
- Heavy Equipment: House moving rigs exert immense weight. Cracking of asphalt, concrete, or garden rutting can occur on non-reinforced surfaces.
- Normal Movement: Minor interior wall/ceiling hairline cracking or window/door alignment adjustments are expected outcomes of structural relocation.
- Post-Move Finishing: Post-relocation weatherproofing, cosmetic plaster repairs, and service reconnections are arranged by the owner.
Piling & Foundation Costing
Piling quotes remain estimates until final soil tests, foundation plans, and structural engineer specifications are complete. Ground conditions (soft soil, rock, or deep fill) may require variations in pile length or pile type.
Professionals Required for Relocation
A successful move requires teamwork between the Relocation Contractor, Architectural Designer, Structural Engineer, Site Surveyor, Local Council Inspectors, Licensed Electrician, Plumber/Drainlayer, and Asbestos Removalist (if applicable).
