Services
Structure Moving
Our proprietary Buckingham power dolly system safely relocates entire structures of any size or material. We handle residential homes, historic buildings, and commercial properties with minimal stress to the original construction. Projects include navigating narrow urban streets and challenging terrain across 40+ states.
Structure Lifting
Using synchronized hydraulic jacking systems, we lift buildings for foundation repairs or flood mitigation. Our process maintains structural integrity while creating clearance for new construction beneath historic or modern buildings. This service protects investments against rising water damage.
Roof Lifting
We increase interior clearance for warehouses and industrial facilities by lifting existing roofs. Our SmartJack technology ensures even elevation while minimizing operational downtime. This sustainable solution avoids demolition costs and reduces environmental impact.
Under-Excavation
Our team prepares sites for structural lifting projects by excavating beneath existing foundations. We create clean workspaces for masons while maintaining building stability through advanced support systems. This critical step enables foundation repairs or replacement.
Rigging Services
Through our sister company Buckingham Transport, we move oversized equipment and materials. Services include machinery relocation, barge transport, and steel tank positioning using specialized rigging equipment for loads up to 5 million pounds.
