I've moved one. Cost me about $6k, and that's before refinishing the drywall/bulkhead. I went through a few quotes, few options, and decided to get the engineering done myself, and then hire a contractor to purchase the reinforcement beams and install.
There are different ways to do it and it very much depends on your house. You'll need a civil/structural engineer to provide options.
