About Us |
Its always been my belief that confrontation and blind competition has been the bane of the property development industry. Throughout my career I have sought to promote collaboration and partnership to the benefit of all stakeholders in the the design and construction supply chain.

About John Cowell
I founded Building Partnerships in the wake of the Credit Crunch after a successful 10 years of consultancy to a wide range of companies and practices in London and the south east. Prior to the starting of my consultancy I enjoyed a career in the construction and fit out industry, predominantly at Board level.
I have been a firm advocate of collaboration ever since my early days in the industry. I was involved in the Partnership movement in the 90's and have sought to promote an integrated, non-confrontational approach to development throughout my career. I come from a 'property family', my father Eric was Property Director first in retail and then Granada and finally EMI. My brother, Nicholas is very active in development with his Cowell Group and of course my brother, Simon Cowell is a well known property owner with never ending refurbishment projects on the go in London and Los Angeles! I especially enjoy working with small companies and start-ups when my many years of experience and expertise in business development can be put to good use. |
