Every great business begins with a story.
Ours is a Story of Friendship
Partners Matt McCormack and Zack Gelfer started The Cobalt Companies in 2003 – completely self-funded and fueled by their entrepreneurial spirit. Since then, they’ve built a truly community-centric building company, catering to the growth of central Austin’s neighborhoods.
Beyond our high-quality, detail-anchored construction talents, our passion for the places we build truly sets us apart. Whether it’s a brand-new home or a property we’re renovating/remodeling, every Cobalt project is made with honesty and reliability.  It goes without saying that we build with much more than brick and mortar basics. As a deep-roots outfit with long-term vision, Cobalt Companies is the firm you can trust.
Our Work
We build functional, creative living spaces in Austin’s thriving urban core for folks who love the vibrant offerings of city living. We also provide construction management services to clients and their designers for custom homes, major remodels and additions, and commercial site shell building and tenant finish-out construction. We pride ourselves on superior quality, while simultaneously maximizing value.
