House Moving & Raising Services

Vancouver Island’s House Moving Specialists

Pacific Group Developments has over 30 years of experience in house raising and moving across Victoria, Vancouver Island (including Duncan, Nanaimo, and Courtenay), and the Gulf Islands. From garden sheds to large heritage homes, we handle building raising with precision and care.

Why Move or Raise a House?

Basement Development: Gain ceiling height for livable space, create full-height basement apartments, add value through additional square footage, or convert crawlspaces to usable basements.

Foundation Work: Access failing foundations for replacement, upgrade to modern standards, improve waterproofing, correct structural issues, or perform seismic retrofitting.

Heritage Preservation: Save character homes from demolition, preserve architectural heritage, relocate historic buildings, and maintain community character.

Property Development: Clear prime building sites, maximize land use, accommodate subdivisions, or reposition buildings for better site layout.

Economic Value: Purchase recycled homes at lower cost, avoid new construction expenses, preserve quality craftsmanship and materials—both economically and environmentally beneficial.

Buildings We Move & Raise

We handle projects ranging from garden sheds and outbuildings to large heritage homes—single-family homes, cottages, manufactured homes, garages, workshops, storage buildings, and agricultural structures.

Foundation Services During Raising

When we raise your home, we provide complete foundation services including new construction, repairs, upgrades, waterproofing, perimeter drains, seismic improvements, and basement development—pouring new concrete floors and walls as needed.

Heritage Home Preservation

Victoria and Vancouver Island have many character homes worth preserving. House moving allows architectural treasures to be saved from demolition and relocated where they can be appreciated and maintained. We work carefully with heritage consultants and respect historic structures.

Professional & Proven

With over 30 years of experience across Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, we coordinate all aspects including permits, utilities, foundation work, site restoration, and engineering consultation. We maintain specialized hydraulic jacking systems, steel beams, transport equipment, and rigging for safe building moving and raising.

We serve Greater Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Gulf Islands, and coastal communities with proven capability demonstrated through hundreds of successful projects.
