The cost to raise a house in Brisbane generally falls between $20,000 and $50,000. This range depends on factors such as the size of the house, site accessibility, and slope, as well as the complexity of the existing floor framing. Additional considerations like required permits and any necessary structural reinforcements can also affect the total cost. For a precise estimate, it’s best to consult with a professional to assess your specific needs.
In Brisbane, you can typically raise a house up to 9.5 meters. If you plan to raise it higher than this, you will need to secure building approval from a qualified building certifier and apply for Council approval. Raising a house beyond 9.5 meters involves additional safety measures, increased costs, and potential structural challenges. Due to these complexities, it is generally advised to keep the elevation within this height limit to ensure a smoother and more cost-effective project.
No, it is not legal to remain in your home while it is being raised. Both tenants and homeowners must relocate during the house-raising process. Once the work is completed, services are reconnected, and the stairs and landings are reinstalled, you will be able to seek permission from the builder to move in.
Under normal circumstances, a house lift can typically be completed within 3 to 7 days once our team is onsite. This timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the project and specific site conditions. For a more accurate estimate, it’s best to consult with us directly to discuss your particular needs.
