You don't move the foundation, you move the building.

  How do you get in between the foundations and the building to lift it?

    I'm not sure about the construction of this building in particular -- but generally speaking you support the building from an alternative location under it, then you can lift it off the foundation. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/93/cd/bb/93cdbbe7117f16e89c74e4909e448af1.jpg https://i.pinimg.com/736x/93/cd/bb/93cdbbe7117f16e89c74e4909...

    break through at several strategic points where the building meets the foundation and place hydraulic jacks in the voids. Once enough jacks are in place and lifted, _they_ now serve as the support; the remaining parts of the building can be removed/disconnected from the original foundation.

      Thanks for the explanation. This is on a much smaller scale but shows what you’ve described: https://youtu.be/Qnr5v0farM0 https://youtu.be/Qnr5v0farM0
