Browse Forums Move Management Re: House Movers and costs 11Feb 26, 2013 12:55 pm We sold our house, had it cut up and trucked away. After this, a demolition company came in and demo'd the old garage, cleared the block of all piers and concrete paths and left us with a clean block. The process did take a bit of time, but we got a bit of cash for the house (it went south to NSW and has been put back together - ultra recycling!) and we had a clean block to start the new build. Pitfalls/advice The structure never goes back together as easily as it was cut up. Budget on a near full renovation job at the new location (company we used told us of the story of putting it right in the new location...mmm...took quite a bit of effort apparently) Lots of costs involved in getting the power, gas, sewer ,etc. turned off and/or disconnected. ----------------------------------------------- http://pab34newdigs.blogspot.com.au/ ----------------------------------------------- Re: House Movers and costs 12Feb 26, 2013 10:34 pm Some companies are certainly much better at doing this than others. I've seen a couple that were very roughly cut in half and put back together but another one where they did a very good job and you cannot tell where the house was separated inside or out. I think it comes down to how much you are quoted. I'd use one company to divide the old house and move it then another ( a licensed builder ) to lay out all the new foundations and put it back together. Last time I heard about five years ago an average three bedroom W/B house could be relocated for $30,000 to almost anywhere in NSW ( site conditions at either end allowing of course ). Stewie Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7550 Ha all, I am now about half way (maybe a bit more) through my build with Carlisle Homes - double-storey knockdown/rebuild project. So I am now doing my due diligence and… 0 3718 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13100 |
