House Moving
Relocate a house or suitable structure from one property to another.

Move the structure.
Plan the whole job.
Titan Structure Moving helps plan house moves, structural lifts and on-site repositioning with the building, access and destination considered together.
SERVICES
Structural moving for different project goals.
Some projects need a road move. Others need the building lifted or shifted on the same property. Titan starts by understanding what the finished result needs to be.
House Lifting
Raise a structure so work can happen below it or so it can be reset at a new elevation.
See what is involved →On-Site Repositioning
Shift or rotate a structure on the same property without a road relocation.
See what is involved →HOUSE MOVING
From one property to another.
A house move connects three parts of the job: getting the structure out of its current site, getting it through the route, and getting it into position at the destination.
Origin siteAccess around the building, separation from the existing foundation and room for moving equipment.
RouteRoad width, turns, overhead clearance and other route conditions.
Receiving siteApproach, alignment, equipment access and coordination with the new foundation.
HOUSE LIFTING
Create room to work below the structure.
Lifting can be part of foundation replacement, basement work, elevation changes or preparation for a later move.
Foundation workCreate access for removal, replacement or construction below the existing building.
ClearanceRaise the structure to provide the working height required for the planned project.
ResettingCoordinate the final elevation and position with the completed support or foundation work.
ON-SITE REPOSITIONING
A new position without leaving the property.
Not every structural move needs transportation down a road. A building may only need to shift, rotate or move to another part of the same property.
ShiftMove the building farther from a boundary, another structure or a planned construction area.
RotateChange the orientation of the structure to suit a revised property layout.
RelocateMove a garage, cabin or other suitable building elsewhere on the same property.
COMMON PROJECT SITUATIONS
Why a structure may need to move.
The reason for the project changes what needs to be planned.
Preserve an existing house
Relocate a structure instead of removing it when the building still has value.
Replace a foundation
Lift the structure to create access for foundation work.
Change the property layout
Shift or rotate a building to make better use of the site.
Move to a new site
Transfer a suitable structure to another property where it can be reset and reused.
PROJECT PLANNING
The building is only one part of the job.
A structure may be moveable while the surrounding site or route still needs more work.
StructureConstruction, condition, dimensions, roof shape and additions.
AccessEquipment room, grades, trees, fences, utilities and nearby buildings.
RouteRoad width, corners, overhead lines and clearance concerns.
DestinationApproach, final alignment and foundation readiness.
BEFORE THE FIRST REVIEW
Useful information makes the first conversation easier.
Basic information and clear photos are a good starting point.
01
Current location
Where the structure is sitting now.
02
Approximate size
Length, width and number of storeys if known.
03
Exterior photos
All sides plus wider views of the property.
04
Destination
The new property or on-site location, when applicable.
05
Known obstacles
Trees, fences, slopes, power lines or nearby buildings.
HOW A PROJECT DEVELOPS
Start with the basics. Build the plan from there.
Send the basics
Share the location, approximate size, photos and what you want done.
Review feasibility
Identify the details that need closer review.
Coordinate preparation
Plan the site, utility, excavation or foundation work around the move.
Complete the move
Lift, transport, reposition or set the structure according to the project plan.
ABOUT TITAN
Focused on structural moving.
Titan Structure Moving focuses on house moving, house lifting and on-site repositioning projects where the structure and surrounding conditions need to be considered together.
The approach is simple: understand what needs to move, identify what could limit the project, and organize the work around the conditions that are actually there.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What people usually want to know first.
What should I send for an initial review?
Send the current location, destination if applicable, approximate dimensions, exterior photos and wide photos showing site access.
Can Titan look at cabins, garages and other buildings?
Other structures can be considered based on construction, condition, dimensions, access and the work required.
Does distance determine whether a house can be moved?
Not by itself. Route width, clearance, turns, road conditions and destination access can matter as much as distance.
Can lifting and moving be part of the same project?
Yes. A structure may need to be lifted before it can be prepared for transport and final placement.
Can you tell from photos if a move will work?
Photos help with an initial conversation, but site, route and structural details may still need closer review.
START A PROJECT
Tell Titan what needs to move.
Approximate information is fine for the first conversation. Clear photos, locations and a short description are enough to get started.
