Costs Nothing to Move a Building

Thankfully, if you want to move a building, it will cost nothing and you can move it for free. Technically, you'll need to spend the same amount of resources you used to construct the building when moving it, but you get the resources back once the initial building is deconstructed.

Takes Time to Reconstruct the Building

When you relocate a building, your villagers will need to take it down and reconstruct it at the location you want to move it to. It's recommended to only move a building if you don't have any other important buildings that need to be built at the time.
