House and Building Moves

House moves and building moves are the bread and butter of the industry. Sometimes, situations arise that the building or house must be moved in an unconventional way. Other building moves can be more of a challenge because the conditions are tight or the work must take place twenty-four hours a day. On Lake Michigan, cars don't get to drive up to the water, or along the beach for that matter, but extremely tight and well-populated streets saw a lake house do what would be verboten at any other time. Winter doesn't stop us from working or working in water. After all, these are the times that creeks and rivers are at their lowest point. Below are six house moves and building moves that showcase some of the variables from the "average" house and building move.
