Homebuilding Essentials

Homebuilding Essentials provides professionally led project support for self-builders, combining the structure, practical guidance and expertise of professional project management in a format designed specifically for those delivering their own home.

Every project begins with a comprehensive project review, followed by the preparation of a bespoke pre-construction programme. This Plan It stage creates the structure for the entire project, transforming a complex process into a clear, organised roadmap that sets out what needs to happen, when it needs to happen and how every stage connects.

Each project is then launched within a practical, connected workspace, giving self-builders a single place to manage their project from the earliest design decisions through to completion. As the project progresses, relevant guidance, resources and professional insight are available at the point they are needed, helping self-builders make informed decisions with confidence by providing the right guidance at the right time.

Developed by Oliver Steele-Perkins MCIOB, Chartered Construction Manager, Homebuilding Essentials is built on the same proven methodology used to deliver professionally managed residential projects. It provides self-builders with the structure, project roadmap and professional support needed to take control of their project at a fraction of the cost of appointing a full-time project manager.

Our ambition is to raise the standard of self-build project delivery across the UK by ensuring every self-builder starts with a professionally mobilised project and the confidence to deliver it successfully.
