Moving a house? Our estimator walks you through the common expenses you’ll encounter. Questions or need a quote? Just get in touch, we’re here to help.
Every move is different. These are the six factors that move the number most.
The biggest factor. Every extra section the house is cut into multiplies the transport, crew and site work needed, so this drives the estimate more than anything else.
How far your home is travelling, plus road access and route complexity, adds on top of that per section.
Tight streets, steep blocks and soft or sloping ground all affect how the move is planned and priced.
Every home gets a full new set of stumps at the new site. Height, number of stumps and ground conditions determine the scope.
Certification and permit requirements vary by council. We manage this process for you either way.
It’s a solid starting point built from the details you provide, but it isn’t a quote. Ground conditions, access and council requirements can only be confirmed with a site assessment, so treat the number as a guide for early planning.
House size and the number of sections your home needs to be cut into moves the number the most, since every extra section multiplies the transport, crew and site work involved. Distance and site access add on top of that.
Most private removals, relocations and demolitions need some form of council approval. Requirements vary by council. We can handle the certification side for you, see our Council & Approvals Guide for what your council needs.
