Relocating a house is a smart, cost-effective and sustainable alternative to building a new home

Whether you’ve purchased a house to move onto your section or need to relocate your existing home so you can subdivide, CHR Builders can help.

We are a specialist builder for relocated houses, providing complete site preparation and building services to ensure your transported home is safe, compliant and ready to live in.

Trust CHR Builders to turn your relocated house into a home

We work closely with your house moving company to ensure the entire relocation process runs smoothly, from site preparation through to final interior and exterior finishing. Our experience with relocated house projects means we understand the structural, compliance and finishing requirements needed to transform a moved house into a fully functioning home.

Site preparation for relocated homes

Before your house arrives on site, proper preparation is essential. Careful groundwork ensures safe placement, long-term structural stability and council compliance. CHR Builders manages all site works for relocated houses including:

• Earthworks and excavation

• Foundations and piling

• Service trenching and connections

• Drainage installation

• Retaining walls where required

• Ensuring safe vehicle access for the house relocation

We coordinate closely with house movers, engineers and inspectors to ensure your site is ready for delivery day.

Foundations, connections and building compliance

Relocated houses must meet current New Zealand Building Code requirements. Our team ensures your home is securely positioned and connected to essential services. We manage:

• Foundation construction and structural anchoring

• Plumbing, wastewater and stormwater connections

• Electrical connections

• Building consent applications

• Council inspections and compliance documentation

Once the house is in place, we complete all required exterior and interior finishing work to bring your home up to modern standards. This may include:

• Reconnecting and upgrading services

• Exterior cladding repairs or replacement

• Roof repairs or upgrades

• Insulation and interior linings

• Flooring installation

• Kitchen and bathroom renovations

• Painting and finishing touches

• Decks, steps, entryways and fences

Our goal is simple: your relocated house should feel like a new home, not one that has been moved.

FAQs

What does a specialist relocated house builder do?

A specialist relocated house builder prepares the new site, completes foundations and subfloor work, reconnects services and finishes all interior and exterior work after the house has been delivered. This ensures the relocated home is compliant, weathertight and ready to occupy.

Do you work with house moving companies?

Yes. CHR Builders works closely with the client’s chosen house moving company to coordinate site access, foundation preparation, delivery timing and installation requirements. Clear communication between all parties helps keep the project on schedule.

Do relocated homes need building consent?

In most cases, relocated homes require building consent for foundations, structural connections and service installations. CHR Builders can assist with compliance documentation and inspections to ensure the home meets current standards.

Is relocating a house more cost-effective than building new?

Relocating a house can be more cost-effective than a new build, particularly when a suitable existing home is available. However, total costs depend on transport distance, site preparation, foundation requirements and the level of renovation needed.
