So, I'm curious exactly how one would go about moving a garage? The
existing structure is 24 feet square. I'd like to move it straight back
about 12 feet. Obviously, a new section of concrete would have to be
poured
and tied into the existing slab. I'm more curious how one does the
physical
moving. I've Googled for it and can't locate anything except garage sales
and moving sales when I look for "garage moving". Any ideas?

Jack it up, support it on steel beams, lift the entire structure with a
crane to the new location. Helicopters can do it also, but tend to be more
expensive. It may be moved on rollers too. Weight is minimal in the
scheme of life, but it has to be kept square.

A cell phone tower is being installed right next to where I work. this
morning they delivered the component building, about the size of a one car
garage. Took them an hour to take it off the trailer, lift it above our
loading dock (about 15 feet) and set it on a pad. Most of the time was
getting the crane in position as it was a tight spot. The move took ten
minutes from lift to drop.
