A
structure relocation is the process of moving a
structure from one location to another. There are two main ways for a structure to be moved: disassembling and then reassembling it at the required destination, or transporting it whole. For the latter, the building is first
raised and then may be pushed on temporary rails or dollies if the distance is short. Otherwise, wheels, such as
flatbed trucks, are used. These moves can be complicated and require the removal of protruding parts of the building, such as the
chimney, as well as obstacles along the journey, such as
overhead cables and trees.
