Marcus Building Movers has been moving buildings, structures and equipment since 1975. The company actually came about through an integral need of Dick G. Marcus, eventual company founder, owner and operator.
In 1975 Dick needed a shed moved, while waiting to have it moved by a structural moving company he decided he was going to do the job himself. As a problem-solving farmer and skillful mechanic who was known for "thinking outside the box," he knew he could handle the task. Plus he had five sons he knew would assist him during the moving process.
Dick bought-out a mover from New London, Minnesota specifically for their moving equipment and then moved his first structure, a shed. From there Marcus Building Movers was established and began to grow, relocating new and larger structures throughout the years. Eventually Dick’s three sons, Garvin, Marlin and Jerry Marcus, became partners and bought him out. Technology advancements and industry procedure changes altered the structural moving and building relocation business. Changing methods from the use of manual jacks and homemade dollies to efficient hydraulic jacks utilizing a sophisticated unified jacking system, hydraulic dollies and hundreds of tons of steel beams of varying lengths to move any type of structure.
Today Marcus Building Movers is in its third generation of successful operation. Eric, Dan and Kevin, sons of Garvin, Marlin and Jerry have taken part in the family business. We continually strive to maintain our reputable building mover status and have been honored with numerous awards and titles presented to us at annual IASM and Midstates Moving Association conventions.
