Why relocate

Why move a house instead of building new?

Relocating an existing house takes much less time than building new, and it costs less. For a lot of first home buyers it is the difference between owning and not owning.

Buildings can be up to 100% recycled, so a relocation keeps a sound house out of the demolition pile along with everything already built into it.

Houses for sale

9 buildings available for removal

Feedback

What our clients say

We can talk about our service all day. We would rather let the results, and our clients, speak for themselves.

TR Building Removals have done an amazing job moving our waka hourua from Tāmaki to Whatawhata. Great planning and communication which gave us confidence right from the beginning that they are the right company to do this job, there was no moment where we had doubts in their professionalism. The team worked fantastically moving the waka on the trailer around a sharp corner into a narrow driveway. Furthermore, we really appreciated that their lead driver and founder Chris was open to a member of our team being onboard while our waka hourua was moved on the road. We cannot thank the team enough for their awesome mahi.
