Earthquake response


Laing Building Relocators has a number of options that we believe may be useful for people to consider.  These include;

Complete Re-lift

Re-lift buildings off failed concrete piles, position on temporary blocks, install replacement piles, lower the building onto the piles and tie down.

This solution will allow property owners the opportunity to have a complete timber pile foundation installed rather than a partial repile / re level solution.

Resiting Timber / Concrete Floor Buildings to Alternative Sites

This solution would enable property owners who do not wish to rebuild on their existing property to have their home relocated to an alternative property of their choice.

Purchase of Existing Buildings

This solution would be an advantage to property owners who wish to rebuild a new home on their existing property and prefer to have their existing home removed from site rather than being demolished.

Supplying Pre-Built Transportable Homes

This solution would be an advantage to rural business owners who may have a need to reside at their property to either maintain their business or look after stock.

We can offer pre-built new transportable homes which can be retained as a future investment home or holiday home.  Alternatively property owners could apply for resource consent approval to retain the dwelling on the property.

Relocation Hub

We will be networking and co-ordinating with other building relocation professionals within the South Island to assist with providing the solutions.  This network of building relocators are all affiliated with the NZ Heavy Haulage Association so you are guaranteed to get a professional service.  As part of this affiliation we are also pleased to be included in those professionals being recommended by Earthquakefix
