HOUSE RELOCATION

Transform Your Relocation House with Precision and Peace of Mind

Relocating a house is a significant endeavor, but with our expert foundation calculation services, you can ensure a smooth and stress-free transition. We specialize in creating a detailed 3D model of your existing house and placing it accurately in its new location. This advanced visualization allows you to see exactly how your home will look and fit into its new environment.

On-Site Assessment & 3D Scanning

We begin by visiting the site to conduct a precise 3D scan of the existing house. This process allows us to accurately measure the structure, including foundations, walls, and any modifications made by previous owners. We compare these findings with original plans to ensure all details are accounted for before relocation.

Structural Design & Compliance

Using the collected data, we design the new foundation and wall bracing system tailored to the new property’s conditions. Our structural calculations ensure that the house will be safely supported in its new location, meeting all local building code requirements.

Project Management & Coordination

We streamline the consent process by managing all necessary documentation and coordinating with geotechnical, architectural, and structural consultants. Our service includes obtaining quotes and ensuring all required approvals are in place for a hassle-free relocation.

What Affects the Cost of Your House Relocation Plans?

The cost of your building consent plans and structural documentation will vary based on:

House Size & Weight – Larger or heavier houses require more detailed structural calculations and documentation.
Slope & Soil Conditions – Steeper sites or weak soil may require additional foundation design and engineering reports.
Condition of the Existing House – If the house has structural modifications or damage, extra assessments and design adjustments may be needed.
Foundation & Structural Requirements – The new site’s conditions (wind, seismic, flood zones) impact the complexity of the foundation and bracing design.
Council Approvals & Compliance – The extent of structural documentation required for consent varies based on council regulations, zoning, and additional compliance factors.
 
We provide complete construction plans and structural documentation to meet council requirements and ensure a smooth approval process.
