Partner With The Essentials Network
“Connect with pre-qualified homeowners on live projects, showcase your brand in a premium supplier hub, and benefit from a simple referral model that creates value for everyone.”
What is The Essentials Network
The Essentials Network is part of Homebuilding Essentials, a guided pathway that helps homeowners plan and manage their design-and-build projects with confidence.
Our members are serious homeowners with live projects, not browsers. The network connects them with trusted suppliers across interiors, joinery, and construction, selected for quality, reliability, and value.
Reach Live Projects, Gain Ongoing Exposure
As a supplier, you’ll gain direct introductions to serious homeowners with live projects, plus ongoing brand exposure inside our Members’ Hub. Share your latest products, updates, or case studies with us and we’ll feature them, giving you a free, always-on marketing channel to an audience that’s ready to buy.”

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.
