April 2026 – Bartlett Cocke General Contractors is proud to announce that we have been recognized as one of the Austin Business Journal’s Best Places to Work for 2026. This marks another consecutive year receiving this honor, following our 2025 recognition, and reinforces our position as a leading general contractor in Austin, Texas and across Texas.
This award is especially meaningful because it is based on direct feedback from our employees. It reflects the day-to-day experiences of the people who make our work possible, our teams across Austin and throughout Texas who consistently show up with commitment, professionalism, and care for one another.
Built by People, Not Just Projects
At Bartlett Cocke, we often talk about building projects that serve communities across Texas, but this recognition is a reminder that what we are truly building is something internal as well: a strong, values-driven culture.
The success of any general contractor is measured not only by the quality of its work, but by the strength of its people. Across our offices and jobsites, our teams demonstrate what it means to collaborate, problem-solve, and lead with integrity. From project managers and superintendents to trade partners and support staff, every role contributes to an environment where people feel supported and empowered.
This is what sets leading general contractors apart, not just in Austin, but across the Texas construction industry.
A Reflection of Our Culture in Austin and Across Texas
As a Texas-based general contractor with deep roots in Austin, this recognition highlights the culture our teams have built locally and across the state. It reflects a workplace where:
- People take pride in their work and in supporting one another
- Collaboration drives better outcomes for clients and partners
- Leadership is accessible, engaged, and invested in team success
- Growth and development are encouraged at every level
These are not just ideas, they are practices that our teams bring to life every day on projects across Austin and beyond.
Thank You to Our People
This recognition belongs to our people.
It is because of how our teams show up, how they lead, support one another, and commit to excellence, that Bartlett Cocke continues to be recognized among the best places to work in Austin, Texas.
To every member of our team: thank you. Your dedication, your mindset, and your willingness to invest in each other are what make this possible. This award is a direct reflection of you.
Looking Ahead to June
We are excited to celebrate this recognition alongside other leading companies in Austin at the Austin Business Journal Best Places to Work luncheon this June. This event is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and recognize the collective effort behind this achievement.
More importantly, it is a chance to celebrate the people who make Bartlett Cocke what it is, a trusted general contractor in Austin, Texas, and across the state.
Continuing to Build What Matters
As we look ahead, we remain focused on what matters most. Continuing to build a workplace where people want to be, grow, and succeed.
Being named one of the Best Places to Work in Austin for two consecutive years is an important milestone, but it is also a responsibility. It challenges us to keep listening, improving, and investing in the people who define who we are as general contractors in Texas.
At Bartlett Cocke General Contractors, we are proud of what we build, but even more proud of the people who build it.
