Do I need to move out during restumping in Bendigo?

You usually do not need to move out during restumping in Bendigo, but it depends on how much of the house is being jacked, whether bathrooms or kitchens will be interrupted, and how stable the floors are before work starts. Many partial jobs let owners stay in place, while a full-house restump on an older timber home can be more disruptive. In Bendigo, reactive clay movement often means the scope changes once the subfloor is opened and damaged bearers or joists are found. That is why the better question is not just yes or no, but which rooms will be affected and for how long. Ask each contractor whether temporary access will be safe, whether services need to be disconnected and whether the quote allows for follow-up levelling after the new stumps settle.
