“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.”
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.
Your Preparation Period Starts Now
The time between securing your place and starting the Plan It course is a valuable stage for preparing your project for building work. During this period, we’ll guide you in gathering information and identifying potential risks, so you’re ready to make the most of the preset roadmap you’ll receive in the course.
Why I Created Plan It
I’m Oliver Steele-Perkins a Chartered Construction Manager (CIOB) with over 25 years’ experience managing high-value residential projects worth up to £3m.
I built Plan It to give homeowners the same professional-level planning process my private clients get, without the cost of hiring me full-time.
Through fortnightly live support calls, structured roadmaps, and proven tools, you’ll get the confidence, clarity, and control you need at this crucial stage of your project.
What You Get in Plan It
Everything you need before construction starts:
Expert-led guided learning pathway - key steps in preparing your project for building work.
Your Pre-Construction programme - the roadmap from today to breaking ground.
Budget cost planning tools from planning drawings, and how to refine as design evolves.
Tender preparation so you can approach builders with confidence.

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.
