Eastman Building Movers frequently works with homeowners who have decided to move their current home to a new plot of land. It’s often a decision that comes after weighing the pros and cons and their unique circumstances. Often our clients in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are moving away from the coastline or other wetlands, but there other things to consider.

Buildinga new house and moving an existing building are two very different processes. When building a new house, the process typically involves designing and planning the layout, selecting and purchasing materials, and constructing the house from the ground up. This can be a lengthy and expensive process, but it allows for complete customization and control over the final product.

In contrast, moving an existing building involves physically transporting a structure from one location to another. This process requires careful planning to ensure that the building can be safely moved without damage. It also requires finding a new location for the building and preparing the new site for its arrival.

Ultimately, whether to build a new house or move an existing building depends on a variety of factors, including budget, location, and personal preferences. Since we are experts at building moving, let’s look at reasons to move your existing home.

One reason is to preserve a historically significant structure. If a building has significant historical or cultural value, moving it to a new location can ensure its preservation for future generations to enjoy..

Another reason to move a building is to avoid potential natural disasters, including flooding. If a building is located in an area prone to floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes, moving it to a safer location can help mitigate the risk of damage or destruction.

In some cases, a building may also be moved to a new location to make way for infrastructure projects such as highways, railways, or airports. This can be a complex and expensive process, but it may be necessary for the greater public good.

Finally, and one o the more frequent reasons we hear, the homeowners simply love their home and its layout,
