In
choosing Option A, and after you have been
issued with the required Council Permits, KHR will prepare your
house for relocation (remove the roof, prepare the house internally,
cut the house into sections, lift the sections onto the house
floats using hydraulic jacks), then transport your house sections
to your new site under Vic Roads’ Permits.
On arrival at the new site (which has been prepared and pegged
out by the owner, the grass cut and a firm track laid) the house
removers set to work placing the sections into position, then
marking and digging the stump holes. Once the holes have
been inspected and passed by the relevant Building Surveyor,
concrete is poured into the holes then concrete hangers are
placed into the concrete.
Once the concrete has set, the house sections are lowered onto
the ant-capped stumps and secured. The sections are then
rejoined, the sub-floor and certain internal works completed
and the roof is repitched. Finally, roofing contractors
install new, or reinstall existing roofing iron (but not guttering
and downpipes).
COST
OF RELOCATING A HOUSE – OPTION A:
The final cost depends on many factors, but the following scenario
is presented as an example:-
To relocate a 12sq weatherboard house that contains a tiled
roof from say a northern suburb of Melbourne to the Bendigo,
Castlemaine or Geelong area (1.5 hrs by car) would cost approximately
$30,000 to $35,000 GST inclusive. The price varies depending
on ceiling heights, access etc. This price range would
include the preparation, transport, restumping, rejoining and
reroofing of the house but would not include the cost of the
new roofing materials, transit insurance or the Home Owners’
Warranty Insurance.
