What MICK RICH CONTRACTORS, INC does

Mick Rich Contractors, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned commercial and industrial general contractor headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded in 1988 by Mick Rich (still President), the firm delivers design-build, renovation, pre-engineered metal building, historic restoration, and LEED-certified sustainable construction across New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and West Texas. Its client base spans government (Albuquerque Public Schools, City of Albuquerque, Colfax County, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Kirtland Air Force Base), enterprise retail (Walmart, Albertsons), healthcare, religious institutions, and industrial/energy customers, with individual contracts ranging from roughly $10,000 to $5.23 million.

The company distinguishes itself technically through a US Patent and Trademark Office patent on the 'Soft Wall Anchor' developed during the 2007 San Felipe de Neri adobe renovation, an off-site modular construction system that builds structures at the Albuquerque facility and transports them whole to remote sites, and execution of New Mexico's first LEED Platinum building. It has earned the Associated Builders and Contractors Gold STEP Award twice for safety performance. The firm also publishes books and educational content targeting commercial property owners.

Revenue is generated entirely through fixed-price, one-time construction contracts won via competitive bidding (public sector) and negotiated agreements (private sector). There is no recurring or subscription revenue, and no external capital has been raised — the business is funded organically by the owners. Headcount has contracted from a peak of approximately 100 to roughly 33 employees, a decline the founder attributes to federal regulatory pressure, leaving the firm as a small but technically differentiated regional contractor.
