San Antonio Business Journal recognizes Bartlett Cocke among South Texas’ leading builders
Bartlett Cocke General Contractors is proud to announce that its San Antonio Region has been ranked #4 on the San Antonio Business Journal’s 2026 General Contractors List. Published on June 12, 2026, the annual list ranks firms by their 2025 local commercial construction billings.
The recognition is especially meaningful in the city where Bartlett Cocke was founded in 1959 and remains headquartered today. For more than six decades, the company has partnered with school districts, colleges and universities, healthcare systems, municipalities, manufacturers, developers, and private owners to deliver facilities that support how people throughout San Antonio and South Texas learn, heal, work, and gather.
Today, Bartlett Cocke is an employee-owned company with more than 570 employees and more than 66 years of continuous operation. Over the past 30 years, the company has delivered more than 680 projects representing approximately $26 billion in construction value. Approximately 80% of its work comes from repeat clients, reflecting a longstanding commitment to collaboration, quality, and exceptional client service.
The San Antonio Region continues to serve as a foundational part of the company’s statewide operations. The regional team is currently managing at least 29 active projects representing approximately $1.8 billion in construction value. In 2025, the San Antonio team completed eight projects totaling approximately $558 million.
That activity reflects the breadth of experience Bartlett Cocke has developed across San Antonio and South Texas. The region serves clients in:
- PK-12 Education
- Higher Education
- Healthcare
- Industrial and Manufacturing
- Civic and Government
- Commercial and Mixed-Use Development
From active campuses and healthcare environments to advanced manufacturing facilities and complex civic projects, each market requires a builder that understands how to plan carefully, communicate clearly, and manage risk throughout the construction process.
San Antonio is also home to Bartlett Cocke’s corporate headquarters and its deepest concentration of leadership, technical expertise, and operational support. The region’s diversified portfolio and longstanding public- and private-sector relationships provide stability while positioning the company to support increasingly complex projects throughout South Texas.
As an employee-owned company, Bartlett Cocke believes its greatest strength is its people. Every project reflects the work of builders who take personal ownership of safety, quality, planning, communication, and the outcomes delivered to clients and communities.
This recognition from the San Antonio Business Journal underscores the company’s continued investment in its hometown region. It also reflects Bartlett Cocke’s commitment to helping owners navigate complex capital projects through comprehensive preconstruction, disciplined scheduling, advanced technology, collaborative problem-solving, and transparent communication.
While rankings recognize business performance, Bartlett Cocke measures success more broadly. Success means delivering facilities that strengthen communities, create opportunity, and support the people who use them every day.
Guided by its purpose of Building Better Lives, the company remains focused on delivering exceptional projects while earning the trust of owners, architects, engineers, trade partners, and communities across Texas.
Bartlett Cocke General Contractors extends its sincere appreciation to its clients, employee-owners, trade partners, design partners, and community partners whose trust and collaboration made this recognition possible.
