Planning Permission Under Way?
Your Build Preparation Starts Now
I’m Oliver Steele-Perkins, a Chartered Construction Manager (CIOB) with over 25 years’ experience managing residential projects worth up to £3m. Too many homeowners begin their projects without the right tools or knowledge, and it ends up costing them.
That’s why I’ve created Homebuilding Essentials: to give you the same professional-level process my private clients get, without the cost of hiring me full-time.
Through a structured pre-construction roadmap, proven tools, and fortnightly live support calls, plus access to professional services, you’ll gain the confidence, clarity, and control to manage your project with success.
Why This Stage Matters
You’ve reached a huge milestone, your planning application is in or approved.
But here’s what most homeowners don’t realise:
This is the most valuable preparation window you’ll ever have.
If you waste it, you risk delays, cost overruns, and stress once construction starts.
If you use it wisely, you can take control of your build, save thousands, and hit the ground running.
I’ve seen too many homeowners lose money and time because they waited until the builder was knocking on the door. The Plan It pathway changes that.
What You Get in Plan It
Everything you need before construction starts:
Expert-led guided learning pathway - key steps and detailed information in preparing your project for building work.
Your Pre-Construction programme - the crucial roadmap from today to breaking ground.
Budget cost planning tools from planning drawings, and how to refine as design evolves.
Tender and Trade Works Package preparation so you can approach builders and trades with confidence.
Fortnightly live group calls with Oliver (Chartered Construction Manager).
Project Workspace - a proven and tailored project management tool with actions, templates and resources.
Introductions to trusted specialists (architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical, interiors, party wall).
“His ability to juggle multiple high-end residential projects, each with their own design, programme, and budget complexities was exceptional. Oliver’s methodical approach at the pre-construction stage brings clarity and structure when it matters most.”

About
Oliver Steele-Perkins MCIOB
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.
