FAQ

HOW MUCH TO RELOCATE A HOUSE TO MY SITE?

There are so many variables when it comes to pricing a relocatable home, that it is impossible to put a “typical price” out there.  Things that impact the price of a relocatable home to site are:

  1. Your site location (distance and travel time)

  2. Access to your site (trees, fences, power poles etc)

  3. Is the house a 1 piece or a 2 piece shift?

  4. Size of the house

All of our houses are priced on a case by case basis, and include standard pile foundations, plans and specifications, and we deal with council queries/consent processing.

WHY RELOCATE A HOUSE INSTEAD OF BUILDING NEW?

There are many advantages to purchasing a relocatable home. 

  1. Being an existing house, the cost to develop per square metre is less when compared to a new build.

  2. If you are a landlord, you are able to start generating income from the property much quicker than you can with a new build, due to the process being much shorter.

WHAT OTHER COSTS DO I NEED TO ALLOW FOR?

You will likely need

  1. A Geotech report to determine your soil stability.  Depending on the outcome of the report, engineered foundations may be required.  (Our prices include standard pile foundations)

  2. Council Consent costs

  3. Connection of services to the relocated dwelling

  4. Builder for installing new base boards (and any other alteration work you may like to do)

  5. Plumbing/drainage and electrical

I ALREADY HAVE A HOUSE, BUT NEED IT MOVED TO ANOTHER SITE.  CAN YOU DO THIS?

Yes we do contract shifting, whether it be an on site shift, or a shift to a new site location.
