RELOCATION
Moving your home from one location to another is no longer a daunting task. We can relocate your home wherever you need in a fast and efficient manner.
RAISING
Turn your house into a 2-storey home. We can extend its foundations, so upstairs can be safe from floods and you can have usable space underneath the house.
RESTUMPING
Older homes have a higher chance of their stumps rotting and settling into the soil. Restumping replaces these foundations, ensuring a longer lasting home.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can any home be raised, or are there structural limits?
Not every home is suited to raising work, although many timber and Queenslander-style properties are ideal candidates. Factors such as the home’s weight, condition, existing foundations and soil stability all influence feasibility.
Brick homes can sometimes be raised, though the process is usually more complex than lifting lightweight timber structures. Sloping blocks, flood-prone land and limited site access may also affect the approach used.
Before lifting begins, the structure is inspected to check for weaknesses in flooring, framing or supports. Engineering plans are often required to confirm the house can safely handle the process.
Why do older homes start sinking or becoming uneven?
Uneven flooring and movement in older homes are commonly linked to deteriorating stumps or shifting soil conditions beneath the property. Timber stumps can rot after years of moisture exposure, while older concrete supports may crack or settle unevenly.
On the Sunshine Coast, heavy rainfall and changing ground moisture levels can gradually affect foundation stability over time. Signs often include sticking doors, sloping floors or visible cracks around windows and walls. Restumping and re-levelling work helps redistribute the home’s weight evenly again. Addressing these issues early can prevent extra stress on the structure and reduce the likelihood of larger repairs later.
What should homeowners know about moving a heritage home?
Relocating a heritage home often involves additional planning because older buildings carry historical and structural considerations. Many Queensland character homes feature ageing timber, delicate verandahs and original architectural details requiring careful handling during lifting and transport.
Local council approvals may also apply if the property has heritage protections or sits within a character precinct. In many cases, relocation offers a practical way to preserve the building rather than demolishing it. Transport routes, bridge clearances and overhead powerlines must all be assessed before movement begins. Thorough inspections help identify fragile areas requiring reinforcement before the house leaves its original location.
