How Do Northland Properties Benefit from Professional House Relocation

Northland’s housing reflects over a century of settlement, from heritage timber villas around Kerikeri to post-war homes throughout Whangārei. Foundations have shifted over the decades, and coastal homes face challenges from the humid, salt-laden environment.

We provide house relocation in Northland, catering to the varied conditions:

  • Varied soil types, ranging from reactive clay to sandy coastal soils, both of which require careful assessment before support configurations are determined.
  • Large lifestyle blocks and sloping terrain are common throughout the region. Our systems work on challenging sites where traditional methods struggle.
  • Homes around Tutukaka, Mangawhai, and the Kaipara coast experience salt spray; we assess corrosion risks and recommend appropriate support materials.
  • Historic and character homes that benefit from our steel beam systems, as they minimise stress on ageing timber frames during lifting.

Our house relocation company offers two support configurations depending on your site requirements. We utilise free-standing gear that sits on the exterior perimeter for complete access beneath the building and interior perimeter support for sites with limited boundary access. Both options keep your home perfectly level while work proceeds underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

House support involves installing steel beams beneath your home’s bearers to hold the building securely while foundation or subfloor work is completed.

Our engineered systems have zero deflection, meaning your home stays perfectly level throughout the project. When work is complete, we can reconfigure or remove the support gear as needed.

Soil conditions vary throughout the Northland region. Clay soils around Whangārei shift with moisture changes, while the sandy coastal soil presents different stability challenges.

Our experienced team of house lifters will assess your site before recommending a support configuration and any additional groundwork your project might need.

House support is typically part of a broader project, such as completing underpinning house foundation work or basement excavation, which will require consent from your local council. We work alongside engineers and builders in Northland to ensure documentation is completed correctly.

Of course—we’ve supported properties across Northland’s varied terrain, from beachfront Mangawhai homes to rural lifestyle blocks throughout the mid-north.

Our systems can accommodate sloping sites, limited access, and challenging ground conditions. For house relocation in Northland, we can coordinate with transport logistics for a seamless move.
