Payne Construction Services Inc. is a family-owned and operated business that has been serving the Northeast United States since 1974. The business got its start when owner Brian Payne’s father, Kenneth Payne, began jacking up cottages along the coast of Massachusetts and New Hampshire in the late 1950s. It was in 1974 that Brian restarted the business, expanding services to go beyond coastal jacking and to include bridge jacking, commercial lifting, raising and rigging, home and commercial building relocation, as well as the transportation of power plant equipment, transformers, generators, and other large equipment.
There is no limit to what we can do. Our equipment is all in-house so we do not need to rent, borrow, or buy to produce your project. We have our own machine shop where we custom-build much of our own equipment and fabricate steel for different projects. Payne Construction Services Inc. is fully insured and is a US Customs Bonded Carrier. This means that we are able to work in free trade zones. We take great pride in our work and always strive for customer satisfaction. Our goal is to provide a quality service to our customers and get the job done on time and safely and our record shows that.
We are very proud and excited to announce that Sean has accepted the President and Geoff has accepted the position of Vice President for the New England Association of Structural Movers! We are excited for the upcoming years of growth and involvement for the association and other members!
As the owner, Brian Payne has kept the business family-owned and operated with the help of his two sons, Sean and Patrick.
Sean Payne became interested in the family business at just four years old when he spent a day watching his father move a 1 ½ story building on dollies several miles down a two-lane country road. At 15 years old, Sean learned to operate a pull truck with 60 forward gears and moved his first building approximately three miles. The building was 28’ wide by 82’ long with a center fireplace. His first move was completed perfectly! Today, Sean, who is now in his thirties, runs and operates his own crews in New England and manages the bidding process and project management.
The Payne family has successfully completed several thousand jobs over the years, from jacking cottages to moving some of America’s oldest historical buildings dating back to 1654. Our projects include moving massive stone and brick buildings to aircraft hangers to jacking up 1500 ton bridges: our capabilities are unlimited, making use the premier structural movers in the Northeast!
Rigging and jacking equipment has developed over time from old screw jacks (turned with a 5-foot steel bar), wood beams, and rollers to today’s advanced technologies. At Payne Construction Services Inc., we only use the most sophisticated and safest technology available including unified hydraulic jack systems, steel beams, steel rollers with needled bearings, radio remote-controlled cranes, radio remote-controlled moving dollies, articulated trailers, 24’ box trucks (which contain the jack system), jacks, welders, compressors, generators, and all the tools necessary to do the job and repair any equipment if needed in a safe and secure manner.
