Company History
Bartlett Cocke General Contractors was founded in San Antonio, Texas in 1959, by Bartlett Cocke, Jr. From our inception, we have been an employee owned firm that empowers our staff at the project level and places decision making authority as close to our clients as possible.
Throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's the firm grew under the guidance of our founder Bartlett Cock, Jr. who put in place a leadership team who was focused on preparing the firm for the future. In the early 1990's, Bartlett Cocke, Jr. sold all of his ownership in the firm to the employees and Duane Pozza was appointed President.
Under Duane's leadership, Bartlett Cocke General Contractors grew in size from under $50,000,000 annual revenue to over $400,000,000 in annual revenue. Duane was responsible for significant expansion of our organization and the opening of two (2) regional offices. In 1997 we opened an office in Austin, Texas and in 2002 we opened an office in Houston, Texas.
A Certified Public Accountant by training, Duane made sure that the firm was well-managed financially and that we continued to grow our bonding capacity. Duane also focused transitioning the company into the next millennium by increasing the number of employee shareholders and including all staff in the strategic planning process.
In 2006, Duane Pozza stepped down as President of Bartlett Cocke Gneral Contractors (while remaining Chairman and CEO) and Randy Pawelek was appointed President by the Board of Directors.

Under Randy Paweleks direction the company continues to be focused on the initial principals of our founder, employee ownership and decision making at the project level. But Randy is also focused on making Bartlett Cocke General Contractors a leader throughout Texas in the commercial building industry.
