Moving a Ready-to-Move (RTM) Home with Nelson Homes

How RTM Home Transportation Works

1. Preparing the Site

Before your home arrives, the building site must be ready, including:
✅ Zoning & Permits: Ensuring local regulations allow RTM home placement.
✅ Foundation Work: Preparing a basement, crawl space, or pilings for the home.
✅ Utility Connections: Arranging hookups for water, electricity, and septic.
✅ Access Route: Ensuring a clear path for delivery.

2. Planning the Transportation Route

Transporting an RTM home requires specialized logistics. Our team coordinates with expert movers to:

  • Determine the safest and most efficient route.
  • Address road conditions, bridge clearances, and transport restrictions.
  • Secure the necessary permits and escorts, as required by provincial regulations.

3. Transporting Your RTM Home

Once your home is built and ready for delivery, it is carefully lifted onto a flatbed trailer and transported to its destination. Our experienced partners ensure a safe and secure move, regardless of distance.

4. Placement & Setup

Upon arrival, our team ensures that the home is:

  • Safely placed on the foundation using hydraulic jacks and cranes.
  • Properly secured and leveled for long-term stability.
  • Connected to utilities and undergoes a final inspection.
