Our team will walk you through every step — from planning and permits to transport and restumping.
We manage the entire relocation process — from lifting your home at its original site to delivering and positioning it on your new block. Whether it’s 5km or 1,000km away, our team has the experience and equipment to move your home safely and efficiently.
Moving a house isn’t as simple as putting it on a truck. We take care of all required permits, route planning, and arrange pilot or police escorts where needed, ensuring everything is done by the book and without stress on your end.
Once your home arrives at its new location, we restump it to the correct height using materials appropriate to your block and soil conditions. This sets a strong foundation for any future works or extensions.
Navigating approvals can be daunting — but we’ve got you covered. We’ll assist with building applications, supply engineering and drafting plans, and help ensure everything is ready for certification.
If your home contains asbestos or needs to be cleared from the original site, we can take care of that too. Our licensed team can handle asbestos removal, disposal, and supply clearance certificates for peace of mind.
We’ll sit down with you in Lismore to go over your home, your block, and your relocation goals. If you’ve brought plans or documents, we’ll review them together to understand what’s needed.
You’ll receive a tailored quote based on your property, site conditions, relocation distance, and any extras you’ve requested (like site clearing or asbestos removal). No vague estimates — just straight answers.
We’ll walk you through council requirements, what approvals are still needed, and how to keep your relocation on track. Whether you’re just starting out or nearly ready to go, we’ll meet you where you’re at.

Got questions about relocating through the Resilient Homes Program?
We’ve answered the most common ones to help you feel confident at every stage.
If your property has been identified for buyback due to high flood risk, you may choose to relocate the home instead of selling it to the government. This option is available through the Resilient Measures stream for eligible homeowners.
The process typically includes:
Assessing the structural suitability of your home
Securing a new block of land
Checking zoning, overlays, and flood risk
Obtaining permits and approvals
Physically relocating and restumping the house
Completing any required works to meet council/building codes
Yes — if you don’t wish to relocate the house yourself, you can gift it to someone else, provided they meet NSW Reconstruction Authority’s requirements. The home must be relocated for residential use within the region.
We offer:
Obligation-free quotes
On-site assessments
Full relocation (transport, escort, restumping)
Help with approvals, drafting, and engineering
Optional asbestos removal and site clearing
We recommend bringing:
Your RA Buyback contract status
Info about your chosen house
Destination block address
Any plans, overlays or approvals
Your ideal timeframe for relocation
Yes — under the Resilient Measures stream, eligible homeowners may apply for a relocation grant of up to $100,000 (including GST) to help cover the costs of moving their existing home to a safer location.
If your home is accepted into the buyback program and relocated, the original site will be resumed and managed by the NSW Government to prevent future residential use due to flood risk.
