It depends on the kind of building. Those with masonry or brick, for example, weigh much more than a stick-frame house. It takes more equipment and labor to get the job done.It is, as one would suspect, an ordeal.

“The biggest issue is the people,” Burke said. “It helps to quell concerns when they know that we have eyes on this.” You won’t see these houses traveling down the highway, unlike with modular homes, DeVooght Blaney said. These homes have to be moved slowly — just several miles an hour — so they stick to back roads or country roads.
Preservation Houston regularly gets calls from people who want to relocate their houses, said executive director David Bush. They’ve been offered a lot of money for the land, he said, but don’t want to leave the homes they love.
