Frequently Asked Questions

Your first step is to assess what your needs are. Do you need a building raised, moved or are you wanting to buy a building? Next is to find out from your local municipality what their regulations are regarding the work you need done. You can then contact us and we can give you some preliminary information and pricing. With all this information, you can then assess whether this is a project you want to continue with. At this point we will do some site visits and discuss with you exactly what your needs are and quote a firm price.

The moving permit is obtained by us, but you will require a building permit, a development permit or both. Again, contact your local municipalities building dept. for their regulations.

But the best answer is to contact us and we will give you our professional opinion.

Generally speaking, you must have all services disconnected, clean and strip out the basement/crawlspace of the house, including the chimney.

An average building of 1200 square feet, will usually take 2 - 3 days from start to finish.
