We are house movers devoted to upcycling quality second-hand houses – villas, bungalows, brick, timber. Born into a house haulage family, it’s in the blood!

Our story

Uplifting Homes is a Hamilton-based house moving company, dealing in quality second-hand houses that deserve a new lease of life.

Working across the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Auckland, Tauranga and Northland we choose our houses very carefully to ensure they are sound and saleable, specialising in heritage bungalows and villas and newer traditional homes built of solid native timbers.

Our passion

You see, like so many other Kiwis, we just love older houses. As house movers with a difference we delight in their evolving architecture, their history and their unique place in every street and every community. New Zealand’s heritage is defined by our homes, through the nineteenth and twentieth century, through villas and bungalows to today’s new builds.

 

What we stand for

We are a house moving company firmly committed to environmental sustainability. Up-cycling houses and saving quality homes from demolition is a priority to each of us.

As a small and focused company team we’ve spent collectively, upwards of 90 years in the house moving, transportation and construction industry. We each have a strong commitment to taking good care of our clients, providing the personal touch and supporting you, from helping you choose the right house right through to ensuring the house is safely delivered, re-sited and reinstated on your site. We will guide you through the entire house moving process, through strong communication, every step of the way.

A word from our founder, Abby Daly

Born into a family of house movers, I have had strong ties to the industry throughout my life. Early on I developed a strong commitment to protecting our natural environment, for upcycling, re-using and renovating.

Combine this with my love of traditional New Zealand architecture and you’ll understand why I’m passionate about preserving our heritage and delivering ‘Uplifting Homes’ to the house haulage industry.

I love working with other passionate New Zealanders, motivated people with vision and dreams. It is truly fulfilling to match a client with just the right house and then help them achieve the completed project.

My company employs a small, committed team of specialists, all experts in their field. We own our own house moving plant and machinery and manage the entire process from beginning to end.
