Q: What sort of preparation do I need to do to the building and site?

A: Standard preparation for your house move is as follows:
    •    All disconnections, from the building, must be done prior to the start of the project (power, phone, cable/satellite, 
plumbing, etc.).
    •    There must be adequate access for trucks and equipment around all sides of the building that is being moved. This may include trimming or cutting down trees.
    •    Your approach must be wide enough to take your house on/off the property (this may include trimming or cutting down trees). We require all approaches to be a minimum of 25 feet across the top.
    •    All basements (including wood) must be backfilled to within 4 feet from the top of the basement.
    ◦    Wood basements must be properly braced prior to the house move.
    ◦    The center beam must be installed prior to the house move.
