Jaynes Corporation — Commercial General Contractor in Albuquerque, NM (Founded 1946, Employee-Owned)
Jaynes Corporation has been operating out of Albuquerque since 1946, when it started as a concrete subcontractor. Over the following decades it grew into one of the Southwest’s larger commercial general contractors and is now 100% employee-owned, with offices and work spanning New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and Colorado.
Their headquarters sits at Broadway and Candelaria in Albuquerque, the same corner they’ve occupied since the beginning. The work is primarily commercial: construction management at risk, design-build, pre-construction services, and traditional GC contracts for healthcare, education, government, and retail clients.
In 2025, Jaynes received first place in the Associated General Contractors of America Construction Safety Excellence Award in the Building Division (750,000 to 2.5 million work-hours category). Their stated philosophy — “We’re not building for the building’s sake” — reflects an orientation toward long-term community impact rather than just project delivery.
