The Process of Moving  / Raising a Structure

  Process of determining the moving / raising of a structure:
   qWhatcom House Movers determines if the building/structure can be raised/moved
   qAn acceptable route for transporting the structure is determined by Mover
   qA Housemoving Contract is signed by customer and a deposit is given to the Mover
   qMoving permits are arranged by Mover
   qMover correlates the route with the utility companies, police and fire departments, and public works

  Process followed when loading a building/structure:
   qHoles are made in the foundation of the structure
   qSteel beams are inserted into the holes
   qThe steel beams are leveled and shored
   qWhen it is supported entirely on steel beams, the building is raised hydraulically
   qWheeled dollies are installed to transport the structure
   qA prime mover tractor is attached via a hydraulically controlled bolster beam 
       mounted on the fifth wheel link of the tractor
