About
Oliver Steele-Perkins
I’m a Chartered Construction Project Manager with over 25 years’ experience delivering high-value residential projects across London and the South East — from luxury penthouse refurbishments and complex structural remodels to full-scale self-builds and new homes.
My work has been featured in Homebuilding & Renovating, House Beautiful, Property Investor News, and Your Property Network. I’ve also advised homeowners live at Grand Designs Live (London and Birmingham) and continue to manage active build projects on-site every week.
Over the years, I’ve seen what happens when homeowners take on major projects without a proper plan — delays, spiralling costs, and avoidable stress.
That’s why I created Homebuilding Essentials — to give you the tools, structure and support to take control of your own build with confidence, clarity, and professional guidance.
