Why build a new house when you can have an old one delivered?

When a property with a house is sold in New Zealand, the new owner sometimes wants to get rid of the house to build their own. What is their eco-friendly choice for this?

They try to save and re-use the house as long as it is still in a livable condition. Now, it's time to move. Here we go!

After a short trip looking like a giant snail, the house is unloaded at its destination.

Now repaired and repainted, this over-a-hundred-year-old house is ready for the eco-conscious new family to move in.

And don't worry. Even if a house is not sold straight away, it is given a second chance. It is moved to a special yard to wait for someone to buy it..

Heritage building: Though every city and district has a slightly different policy, each council has a particular responsibility to secure the preservation and maintenance of heritage resources for the experience and enjoyment of both present and future generations, as well as preserving the intrinsic values and specific characteristics of the building, no matter it is a landmark or an ordinary house. They are categorised into two or three categories based on their architectural or historical significance. Classified buildings are not allowed to be demolished, neglected, developed, or inappropriately altered in order to maintain their original condition as much as possible.
