House Relocation + Site Planning

Existing conditions documentation and design support for the relocation of an existing home, including basement documentation, site planning, grading, driveway, and new attached garage considerations.

Project Scope

Existing conditions documentation and field verification of the existing basement and foundation to support planning for the home's relocation. Design discussions include basement configuration, foundation height, grading, driveway and vehicle circulation, and options for a future attached garage and roof connection.

Documenting What Exists

Field measurements and existing-condition documentation capture the basement layout, foundation walls, openings, structural relationships, and other conditions needed to recreate the house on its new site.

Planning the New Site

Relocating an existing home involves more than reproducing its foundation. Site planning considers how the house will meet the new grade, how vehicles approach and circulate, driveway location, and how a future attached garage and roof connection can work with the existing structure.
