Here is a list of things to do that will be helpful to move your large building, large home, or other large building as you plan your move! Once you’ve answered yes to these questions, we are all set to complete your building move.

Have you finalized your moving plans and engineering plans? Have you started the permitting process?

Is the foundation on the new plot of land ready? Has it been backfilled? These items will need to be finished before the house is placed.

Do you have a plan to remove and store your valuables outside of the house?

Have you notified your gas and utility companies of the move? Services will need to be turned off prior to the house moving.

Have you checked any rules or bylaws in your Homeowners Association to ensure that the move can take place? Have you checked with your city or town to see if there are any height requirements?
