Why House Lifting Works for West Auckland Properties

West Auckland’s housing stock spans everything from post-war state homes in Henderson and Te Atatu to bush-clad properties perched on Waitākere Ranges hillsides. Many homes sit on the original timber pile foundations that have settled unevenly over the decades.

Our house lifting service for West Auckland homes handles a range of local site conditions, including:

  • Sloping sections in suburbs like Titirangi, Glen Eden, and Sunnyvale—where lifting creates usable space that the original build couldn’t access.
  • Bush properties with limited access benefit from our steel beam systems, which work from within the building footprint rather than requiring heavy machinery around the perimeter.
  • Post-war homes in suburbs like Henderson and Massey, built on timber piles, may have rotted or shifted, causing uneven floors throughout homes.
  • Established properties where owners want to add a garage, basement, or extra living area beneath the existing home.

We use zero-deflection beams that keep your home perfectly level during the lift, protecting walls, windows, and interior finishes while allowing your builder access to work underneath. Our temporary propping contractors can set up interior perimeter support within your building footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Post-war timber homes on piled foundations are prime candidates for house lifting, especially where floors have become uneven over time. Bush properties on sloping sections can also benefit—lifting allows owners to create usable space underneath without major earthworks.

Our house lifting service for West Auckland also suits those wanting to add a basement level or a garage beneath their existing home.

Yes. Many West Auckland properties sit on steep terrain where traditional building methods just won’t work. Our steel beam systems can accommodate sloping sites, and we’ll assess your section to recommend the best support configuration.

Our zero-deflection beam systems distribute weight evenly across your home’s bearers, minimising stress on walls, windows, and interior linings. We’ve lifted older West Auckland homes without cracking windows or damaging original features.

House lifting in West Auckland typically requires a building consent from the Auckland Council, as the process involves structural changes. Our team will guide you through the consent process and ensure everything is properly documented.

Any underpinning house foundation work or basement additions will need separate consents.
