The firm of William Cowlin & Son Limited was founded in Bristol in 1834, and formed into a Private Limited
Company in 1924. The change of name to Cowlin Construction Limited was formalised in 1997.
The company remained in private ownership, managed and owned by the working directors, until August 2007 when
it was acquired by the UK's largest contractor, Balfour Beatty. Reflecting the strength of the Cowlin name and
culture, the Company will continue to operate as Cowlin Construction Limited.
Operating from a network of regional offices in Bristol, Cardiff, Yeovil, Southampton, Exeter, Plymouth and
Truro, the company undertakes work throughout Southern and Central England and in Wales. The scope of Cowlin's
activities within main contracting include design & build, new build, project management and refurbishment, in
both the Public and Private sectors. The Company has a wealth of experience across several sectors, including
education, healthcare, leisure, residential, commercial and industrial.
With a current workforce of approximately 500 employees, we are proud of our success in achieving the highest
professional standards, evidenced by our ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditations, OHSAS 18001 accreditation, Chartered
Builder Status and winning four consecutive RoSPA Gold Medal Awards for Safety.
