Cost of House Removal and Restumping
Houses are built on either timber or concrete stumps and over time both types deteriorate. This can cause the house to become unstable and requires restumping.
Relocating a house is not an easy task and should only be done by professionals. Jie Wood House Removers are specialists in home relocations in Rockhampton and throughout Central Queensland assisting clients who want to relocate their own homes or relocate a house they have bought. Relocating a property can be expensive and needs to be done properly. This is why it’s important to choose an experienced specialist who can lift your house safely while restumping it.
A reputable contractor should provide a detailed quote for the restumping works, including all the costs. It’s also advisable to compare quotes from different contractors and make sure the specifications are similar to avoid paying extra charges. It’s important to hire a restumping contractor who is licensed and insured.
It’s also a good idea to book the service well in advance, as this will help keep costs down. Choosing a date that’s not during peak season can also help reduce costs. Taking advantage of free packing materials such as towels and bedsheets will also save you money. If you’re planning a move with a family, consider getting the kids involved in the preparations to help save on childcare costs.
The cost of house removal and restumping will depend on the type of stumps used in your home. The price of concrete stumps is generally higher than timber, but they’re long-lasting and provide stability. The height of the stumps can also affect the restumping costs. A large stump will require more labour and equipment than a small one.
Other costs include septic tank and plumbing. A septic tank will cost up to $10,000, while the price of plumbing will vary based on the size of your home. You’ll also need to pay to have electricity connected, which can cost a few thousand dollars.
Relocating a house can be a lengthy process, especially when there are overhead utility lines in the way. You’ll need to contact the power, phone, and cable companies to get a quote for clearing the line. Those costs can add up quickly and be the biggest barrier to moving a house.
If you’re considering purchasing a home, make sure to have a building inspection before buying. A QBSA Master Builder and Licensed Building Inspector can inspect your house to check the foundations, structure, drainage, and more. This will ensure you’re making a wise investment.
The cost of house removal and restumping can be high, but it’s worth the investment to ensure your home is safe and sound.
