What is a Removal Home?

Removal Home Structures/Buildings

Removal homes are conventional houses not originally designed for relocation but can be moved with specialized equipment and expertise. They typically come from redevelopment sites, road construction projects, resumptions, or “knock-down rebuild” situations. These homes are often older timber constructions like Queenslanders, Colonials, and Post-War homes.

The Process and Challenges of Removal

Removal homes are typically transported as a whole or in sections, depending on the width requirements. Unfortunately, many homes aren’t suitable for relocation and are demolished for redevelopment. However, a significant number are saved and recycled through removal, and Drake Removal Homes is dedicated to supporting this cause.

Removal Homes vs Transportable Homes

  • Removal homes are not designed for relocation but can be moved with effort and expertise, typically older homes. The process of moving a removal home involves lifting and transporting the entire structure, often requiring it to be cut into sections for easier transport.
  • Transportable homes are designed specifically to be relocated, often prefabricated for easier movement. Transportable homes are commonly used in situations like temporary housing or as holiday homes, and they can be moved multiple times without significant damage.
