INTRODUCTION
The process of relocating houses is practiced in many countries in the world, the houses
subjected to this procedure are called re-locatable. The process is more common in those
countries which use timber frames for construction (Couch, 2008). The process of relocation is
more popular in New Zealand where about 10% of its building industry is based on the moving
buildings (Massey, 2010). This practice has been in place from the early times of European
settlement. In order to relocate houses in New Zealand companies are required to comply with
certain rules and regulations. They must obtain removal consents under New Zealand Building

Code (NZBC) regulations (Hidalgo, 2011). Consent is mandatory before relocation of the
buildings. Consent applications may be rejected by the authorities on grounds of biodiversity
pollution (Robinson, 2016).
This is a report detailing the process, regulations, scope of work and other logistics that will be
applied to safely relocate a four bedroom house from Unitec to property number 2, Te Arai road,
Weilford, Northland. The relocation contract has been given to our company The Unique
Transport Limited (UTL) by Unitec Institute of technology. As the operations transport manager
I have developed a plan for the relocation ensuring that I factor in every component of the whole
process which I will present to the management team. The report comprises the most suitable
vehicle for the relocation, the regulations the vehicle needs to comply with when using public
roads, how financial risks will be mitigated, the number of personnel that will be involved in the
process, the process prior to dispatching our team and the permits required for the relocation.
Unitec Institute of technology
In this project Unitec Institute of technology is our client having specialized in building houses
and selling them. Thus they require house relocation services from their construction site to the
customers’ preferred location.
The Unique Transport Limited (UTL)
The Unique Transport Limited is the company tasked to carry out the relocation of the four
bedroomed house. The company has a great experience in relocations and the necessary
equipment and personnel for the same. As the operations transport manager I prepare this report
to address the various logistics that will be involved in the relocation process.
