Lift it
We lift residential houses with industry-leading equipment to create a safe environment for work to take place. You may need a basement storey, help to dodge coastal erosion, or a lift to a better view. We’re focussed on finding the best solution for your unique challenge.
Shift it
Once lifted, our expert team can slide and reorient your house across the site using a carefully designed process to eliminate pressure points. Use your newfound space for driveway access, off-road parking, a pool or outdoor living area, remedial foundation work, or to enable sub-division.
Level it
We pair expertise with our unique levelling system to consistently achieve accurate floor levels. With a wealth of experience in heritage buildings and architectural houses, our approach is tailored to your specific property to level the most complex and intricate homes.
Prop it
WorkSafe and local councils recommend our team for house propping because of our relentless commitment to safety. Every site complies with H&S regulations while our equipment is of the highest quality. Once propped, excavation and building can take place safely.
Re-Pile it
Your piles may be damaged, unlevel, old and rotten, damaged by borer or weather. Whatever your piling problem, we have a re-piling solution. Our expert team of LBPs and engineers can assess the state of your foundations and provide solutions that suit your unique scenario.

Christchurch CBD, New Zealand
Problem: The two-storey, 70 tonne house was in danger of being demolished, and the site was very tight. Solution: In order to rebuild the foundations, the only solution was to use Sliding to move the house; slide the house to the back section of the foundations, replace the front section, slide the house back, then complete the foundations. The foundation re-build was done safely, efficiently and accurately; another piece of history preserved. The owner was delighted. Other Property Solutions Neil Challenger,...
