Same site relocations
Move the house you already have, without leaving the property
By moving your existing home to a new position within your property, you can make better use of your land, take advantage of the view or the sun, or free up section space for a subdivision.
This is often the cheapest way to unlock value in a section. There is no road transport, no oversize permit and no route survey, so the cost sits mostly in the lift, the short shift and the new foundations.
It is worth checking early whether the new position triggers a resource consent, and where your boundaries, services and drainage actually run. We will flag what we can see at the site inspection.
How it works
How a same site relocations job runs
-
Site inspection
We look at where the building is, where you want it, and what is in between. Trees, services, drains and slope all matter.
-
Position pegged out
A surveyor pegs the new position against your stamped plans, including the distance from every boundary.
-
New foundations
The new piles go in while the building is still on its original foundation.
-
Lift and shift
The building comes up on the jacks, moves across the site, and is lowered onto its new piles.
Questions
Same site relocations, answered
Can you reposition a home within the same property?
Yes, and it is often the cheapest way to unlock value in a section. There is no road transport, no oversize permit and no route survey, so most of the cost sits in the lift, the short shift and the new foundations. See same site relocations.
