BCW Design Services

With over 30 years experience dedicated to the relocation of houses, Bruce has streamlined the process to make it as easy for the client as possible to get their house from point A, to point B. If you've never done this before, please click here to visit the Removal Process Overview page to see what's involved in moving a house.

List of Services Available

BCW Design will handle the whole process up until the point the building and resource consents are issued - at this point, the house is allowed to be physically relocated. To break the service down, we will provide the following:
  • A preliminary assessment:
    • If you're doing an off-site removal, whether the proposed house is suitable for the site.
    • If you're doing an on-site removal, whether the move can produce a viable second building site.
  • Topographical plans, if the boundary pegs are in place and you'd prefer to skip a surveyor.
  • Consultation about the best use of the site area, borrowing on Bruce's extensive years doing this work.
  • Can provide a copy of the title, if the client has not already done this.
  • Drawing up plans and specifications, as required by the council.
  • Complete required council documentation, including the building and resource consent applications.
  • Can supply recommendations for building certifiers, if you're doing an off-site move.
  • Lodging the building and resource consents, on behalf of the client.
  • Liaising with the council for any queries they may have, on behalf of the client.

Pricing Information

Fees will vary depending on your specific job and individual requirements, so please get in touch and tee up an initial consultation.

Booking an Initial Consultation

Ideally, prior to obtaining a consultation, the client should already have the following:
  • A copy of the title.
  • A copy of the public and private drainage plans from council.
  • Topographical plans, if this has been done previously for a prior subdivision.
However, these are not strictly required and the consultation can still be made without them. Contact details may be found here to ask Bruce about any your situation, his services, or simply arranging your initial consultation booking.
