Sometimes it becomes necessary to move a structure from one foundation or location to another. This can be on a different lot or even the same one. Several factors necessitate this move such as installing a stronger foundation on a building with historical or cultural relevance or changing the foundation of a structure to make it stronger and durable. A client can also decide to properly use a certain lot by moving structures within it. If a house or office is situated in a place frequently hit by floods, it may be raised or relocated.
