Franklin's Earthmoving

What Franklin's Earthmoving does

Franklin's Earthmoving Inc. is a privately held construction services contractor founded in 1958 and headquartered at 700 Industrial Ave. NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico. The company operates exclusively within New Mexico and delivers four integrated service divisions — earthmoving, utilities, concrete, and paving — for commercial, residential, industrial, public infrastructure/government, and Pueblo/Tribal clients. It positions itself as a turnkey solutions provider, allowing a single point of contracting across site excavation, underground utility installation, concrete flatwork and structures, and paving (including slurry sealing, overlays, and crack filling).

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with work won through direct bidding, RFP responses, and referrals. Pricing is quote-driven per project and the company publicly advertises free estimates. Core technology consists of a heavy equipment fleet with GPS-equipped earthwork machinery for precision grading, plus modern paving equipment; no software platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed. GTM is sales-led and locally focused, with explicit emphasis on "no travel required" for employees, reinforcing a regional Albuquerque-and-surrounding-area footprint. Customer acquisition channels include the company website (feinm.com), local SEO, direct outreach, and word-of-mouth within the New Mexico construction industry. The company is E-Verify certified, actively hiring (per its careers page), and has no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
