House Relocation

Two halves of a house arrive on site
Contractor: Any problems?
Owner: A few hiccups along the way. The narrow roads. The trucks barely fit down some streets. Then, there was a low bridge that we had to navigate around, which added a couple of hours.
Owner: Anything else?
Contractor: Hmm. Also an issue with one of the truck’s hydraulics. And then there was an unexpected roadworks that weren’t on our route plan, causing another delay.

Getting there is only the start. Factor in positioning the house halves in soft ground, levelling, breakages, reinforcement, connecting utilities, exterior and interior finishing and the process of inspection and approval.
