Boise Home and Building Moving Services
Home and building moving is the process of lifting a structure, supporting it safely, transporting it on specialized equipment, then setting it on a prepared foundation or supports at the new location. Whether you are a homeowner or a business owner, relocating a structure can be the smartest option when you want to preserve the building, save rebuild costs, or keep a project moving without demolition delays. Associated Pacific Movers has the experience and tools to move structures of many shapes and sizes throughout Idaho. We focus on safe planning, controlled lifting, secure transport, and careful placement.

Our crews work carefully to reduce risk and protect the structure during every stage of the process.

Our Boise Structure Moving Process

- Site review to confirm access, grades, and support requirements
- Structure assessment to determine lifting points and bracing needs
- Route planning for clearance, turns, and surface conditions
- Transport coordination to minimize downtime and delays
- Placement planning so the structure lands correctly at delivery

Commercial Building Moving Services
Business moves can be disruptive, especially when a building itself is being relocated. Whether you are expanding, downsizing, or adapting to land development, moving a commercial structure can protect your investment and reduce rebuild timelines. We have experience relocating a variety of commercial structures and coordinating the logistics needed to minimize downtime.
Commercial buildings we commonly move include:
- Offices
- Churches
- Warehouses
- Restaurants
- Retail stores
- And more
If your move includes equipment as well as the building, we can coordinate hauling through our equipment transport and heavy equipment hauling services.
-
Mobile Home Moving Services
Mobile and manufactured homes require specialized handling. These structures are larger and heavier than most people expect and often require permit coordination, route planning, and safe securement during transport. Trust our crews to relocate your:
- Tiny home
- Manufactured home
- Mobile office
- Modular home
Learn more about the process on our mobile home movers page.
-
Raising a Home or Commercial Structure
In some cases you do not need to relocate the structure to a new site. Raising the building can be the first step toward foundation repair, leveling, additional crawlspace, or a new support system.
Common reasons to raise a structure include:
- Flood risk reduction and drainage improvements
- Expanding a basement or crawlspace
- Adding a new floor or structural supports
- Making room for a new foundation
- Meeting local building permit requirements
Use our lifting services to make sure foundation work and related improvements stay on schedule. We lift structures using controlled hydraulic jacking methods, then lower the structure carefully onto the new foundation or supports.
-
Heavy Equipment and Commercial Equipment Transport
Many structure moves involve more than the building. If you are relocating a business or jobsite, you may also need equipment transport coordination for machinery, tools, and overweight loads. We can support equipment moves through: equipment transport and heavy equipment hauling.
Common equipment we transport includes:
- Tractors
- Trenchers
- Engines
- Bulldozers
- Forklifts
- Cranes
Equipment transport often requires planning for trailer type, securement, route clearance, and permits. We evaluate what needs to be moved and recommend the safest plan.
Planning and Safety for Structure Moves in Idaho
Safe building moves come down to preparation. We focus on access, lift strategy, route selection, and placement planning so there are no surprises on moving day. Large structure moves often require route planning and coordination with state transportation regulations, which is why we plan every move in alignment with Idaho transportation requirements published by the Idaho Transportation Department.
We help you plan for:
- Clearance constraints such as bridges, power lines, and tight turns
- Surface conditions including grades, gravel, and soft ground
- Timeline coordination with contractors and site readiness
- Load stability and securement throughout transport
