Steps to Prepare for a Building Move
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
The first step in planning a building move is to schedule an initial consultation with our team. During this meeting, we will assess the structure to determine its moveability and discuss your specific needs and goals. We will also identify any potential challenges and offer solutions to ensure a smooth relocation process.
2. Obtaining Necessary Permits
Before any work begins, it's crucial to obtain all the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities in places. Permits may include zoning permits, road closure permits, and utility disconnection permits. We will help you navigate the regulatory landscape and will guide you through this process to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations.
3. Site Preparation
Preparing both the current and new sites is essential for a successful move. This includes clearing the path for relocation, ensuring accessibility for heavy equipment, and preparing the foundation at the new location.
4. Structural Reinforcement
Before the move, it is necessary to reinforce the building to withstand the stresses of relocation. This may involve adding temporary supports, shoring up weak areas, or making necessary repairs. Our expert team at Eastman Building Movers will handle this step with precision, ensuring your building remains structurally sound throughout the process.
5. Utility Disconnection and Reconnection
All utilities, including water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications, must be disconnected before the move. Coordination with utility companies is essential to ensure a seamless transition.
6. The Moving Day
On the day of the move, our team will arrive on-site with specialized equipment and vehicles designed for structural relocation. We’ll lift and transport the building with care and showcase our commitment to safety and precision.
