Structural Moving | Structural Raising | Additional Services
Northwest Structural Moving specializes in the moving, raising and leveling of all structures as well as the buying and selling of structures that would otherwise be slated for demolition. We have worked with a variety of customers and are sensitive to the individual needs of each type of customer including historical societies, non-profit organizations, churches, schools, government agencies, small and large contractors, developers and private individuals.
We have worked on numerous residential, commercial and industrial projects that have included the moving or raising of single family dwellings (including wood frame, brick and log homes), multi-family dwellings, pole barns, metal buildings, garages, sheds, modular buildings, industrial equipment including a nuclear reactor containment cylinder, a bridge and much more.
Relocating structures is the world’s oldest and largest recycling industry. The service provided by structural movers creates and saves jobs, preserves historic structures, prevents wasteful demolition, reduces material to landfills, provides increased opportunities for affordable housing and a whole multitude of additional benefits.
The most common reason for moving a structure is due to land redevelopment or rezoning. When a property is large enough to subdivide and the structure is situated on the property in a way that limits the potential of the property, the owner or developer can move the existing structure to fit the redevelopment. This makes good economical sense when you consider the cost of building a new structure or the cost to demolish the existing structure. Maybe you would just like to build a new home on your property and would like us to take away your existing home in order to save on demolition costs. We would be happy to see if we can match your home with one of our customers in your area.
There are other reasons you may want to consider moving a structure. Maybe you want to save a historical building or maybe you are looking for an affordable way to obtain a new home for your family or as an investment opportunity. By moving a structure, you can save 30%-50% off the cost of building a new structure, have the benefit of instant equity when your project is complete and you can decrease your occupancy time in half. The return on your investment will have many rewards. Take a look at our Buildings For Sale if you are interested in what buildings we currently have available.
The most common reason for raising a structure is to replace or repair a deteriorating foundation or install a new foundation when there is none. When a foundation begins to fail due to poor construction, cracking, flooding or old age, it will cause many problems with the structure. The house will become out of level, the floors will start to slope and doors and windows will not open and shut properly. Until the foundation is replaced, the damage will continue to compound.
There are many other reasons why customers have contracted us to raise their structures. Many of our customers wanted to turn their crawlspace into a basement to create more living space. This is the most cost effective way to double the square footage and increase the value of a home. Others wanted to take a below minimum height basement and turn it into a full height basement. Some wanted to take a partial basement and turn it into a full basement. Others wanted to create a parking area and storage under their house and others simply wanted a better view.
Northwest Structural Moving currently offers excavation, concrete and other related services to complete your project. Upon request, we would be happy to provide you with a proposal for these services.
