From Foundation to Legacy
Wayne Brothers Companies is proud to celebrate a major milestone: 40 years in business delivering high-performance construction and engineering solutions across the Southeastern United States. Since its founding in 1985, the company has grown from a small concrete contractor into one of the region’s most respected names in civil & infrastructure, turnkey concrete, geostructural solutions, millwright, and industrial solutions.
Over the past four decades, Wayne Brothers has built a reputation for technical expertise and its deep commitment to safety, innovation, and culture. The company has completed thousands of successful projects for commercial, industrial, and institutional clients and has steadily expanded its reach throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and beyond.
Wayne Brothers’ legacy is marked by consistent growth, a willingness to adapt, and a hands-on approach to every project. The company has been recognized with numerous industry honors over the years, including:
-
National & Regional Recognition: Honored by ENR Southeast, Business North Carolina, Charlotte Business Journal, and USA Today for industry leadership, innovation, and workplace excellence.
-
Award-Winning Projects: Recognized for standout work on major developments including Fujifilm Diosynth, Mark Anthony Brewing, Kannapolis Downtown Revitalization, and American Legion Memorial Stadium.
-
Elite Safety Standards: Recipient of over a dozen safety awards from organizations like ASCC, Carolinas AGC, NCDOL, and Highwire, including honors for zero lost-time incidents and fleet safety.
Wayne Brothers has continually embraced innovation from its early concrete foundation work to the modern-day integration of Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) and Engineering. The company’s all-in-one model, combining design and construction under one roof, has made it a preferred partner for complex projects where coordination, speed, and quality matter most.
Wayne Brothers hosted a company-wide 40th anniversary celebration this spring to mark the occasion. The event brought together employees, community leaders, families, and clients for an evening of food, music, and reflection on the journey so far. Videos from the celebration were shared on the company’s LinkedIn page, capturing the spirit of the Wayne Brothers team and their shared pride in what we’ve built together.
As Wayne Brothers looks ahead to the next 40 years, the company remains focused on growth, training the next generation of tradespeople and engineers, and delivering construction excellence across the region.
“We believe the best way to build a lasting legacy is by investing in people,” said Keith Wayne, Founder and CEO. “That principle has shaped our company from day one, and it will continue to guide us well into the future.”
