Exceptional homes deserve professional leadership from the earliest stages of planning through to completion.
At Elevating Homes, we act as Principal Contractor, combining professional construction management, technical expertise and carefully coordinated delivery to create architect-designed homes and major renovations.
We work closely with homeowners, architects, consultants and specialist trades to ensure every stage of the project is thoughtfully planned, well managed and professionally delivered.
By deliberately undertaking only a limited number of projects each year, we remain closely involved throughout the process, providing the leadership and oversight that complex residential projects require.
Elevating Homes was established to offer homeowners an alternative to the traditional building contractor model.
Elevating Homes is led by Oliver Steele-Perkins, a Chartered Construction Manager with more than 25 years' experience delivering residential projects across London and the South of England.
His experience spans architect-designed homes, complex refurbishments, structural alterations and bespoke new-build projects, combining professional project management with practical construction delivery.
Elevating Homes represents the natural progression of that experience, bringing together construction management and Principal Contractor responsibility within a business dedicated to delivering exceptional homes.
Built on proven experience
Elevating Homes is led by Oliver Steele-Perkins MCIOB, drawing on more than 25 years' experience in residential construction and project delivery. Here's what clients and consultants say about working with Oliver.
This what recent clients say:
“Oliver managed the whole project extremely effectively, keeping us on track. He managed our expectations well and communicated effectively with other advisers. Would 100% recommend.”
Richard K — Residential Client
“It was a complex project with a mix of new build and refurbishment, and a tight budget for a very significant build. Oliver worked analytically and logically to break down the component elements in a way that was easy for us as the client to understand and follow.”
Hugh Chambers — Client
“From a senior architect’s perspective, Oliver is the key link between our drawings and effective action on site. His input during the pre-construction phase has been incredibly valuable on complex schemes.”
Jorge Calzada — Senior Architect
“Oliver managed the whole project, extremely effectively, keeping us on track and on budget. We then hired Oliver again for a second project we did, and he once again performed with the same professionalism and effectiveness.”
Ivan — Residential Client
The homes we build today should perform well for decades to come.
As building standards continue to evolve, we are committed to projects that place greater emphasis on building performance, energy efficiency and the quality of the building fabric. We believe thoughtful design, careful planning and professional delivery create homes that are not only beautiful, but healthier, more comfortable and more efficient to live in.
"Throughout my career I've been fortunate to work on some remarkable residential projects, but what continues to motivate me is seeing well-considered design become a beautifully delivered home. I'm particularly interested in projects that embrace better building performance, thoughtful architecture and long-term quality, because I believe these represent the future of residential construction."

Our wider experience
Oliver's experience also extends across two complementary areas of residential construction, providing professional project management and practical guidance to homeowners at different stages of their projects.
Steele-Perkins
Independent client-side project management and cost consultancy for new builds, self builds, and architect-designed homes, major renovations and complex residential projects.
Homebuilding Essentials
Practical information, guidance and support for homeowners managing their own homebuilding journey, from early planning through construction and completion.
Rather than becoming involved only when construction begins, we believe the best projects are created through early collaboration, careful planning and professional leadership. By combining Principal Contractor responsibility with construction management, we help bridge the gap between design and construction, creating a smoother, more coordinated journey from concept to completion.
