Spirit of Self-Build - Highly commended.
This project, managed by Oliver Steele-Perkins, involved the construction of a sustainable family home on a greenfield site. Hill Top House, a red-brick property with part oak framing and flint cladding, reflects the agricultural heritage of its surroundings. After securing planning permission, the clients paused the project for two and a half years. As the planning permission deadline approached, they appointed Steele-Perkins to manage the project, recognizing the need for professional guidance to move the project forward.
From the outset, the focus was on creating a low-impact, energy-efficient home. This extended beyond simply incorporating an air source heat pump and rainwater systems; it also encompassed thoughtful decisions about materials used in both the house and the garden. The property exceeds building control standards due to its high insulation levels and airtightness. The air source heat pump provides all heating, through underfloor systems, and hot water for the home. Minimal waste was generated during the build—offcuts and surplus materials, such as timber and tiles, were repurposed to construct a garden shed, while masonry waste, like broken bricks and tiles, was recycled to backfill the gabion walls faced with locally sourced flint.

Luxuriously Renovated Period Family Home - West London
Project Managed by Oliver Steele-Perkins
The carefully considered design-led approach has resulted in a calm, luxurious, light-filled and spacious interior, with premium fittings and fixtures. The exceptionally impressive interior is perfectly complemented by the outside spaces.
Project works
The clients, a couple relocating to a larger family home, purchased a property that, despite its rundown condition, had great potential due to its prominent hillside location. They secured planning permission for a lower ground floor basement extension and a ground floor extension. However, after initially attempting to manage the tender process themselves, they realized they needed professional assistance and appointed Steele-Perkins to oversee the project. We advanced the project, and during the build, permission was also granted for a loft extension. We managed the process, including securing the Party Wall award.

Mega basement, and full house remodelling in Chiswick - West London
Private Client - Project Managed by Oliver Steele-Perkins
Project works
The clients, a couple with young children, were looking to upsize locally and saw great potential in a property on a desirable road in Chiswick. They approached Steele-Perkins to secure Planning Permission for a basement extension that would extend beyond the house's footprint into both the front and back gardens. The entire interior was to be completely transformed, with plans to include a gym, steam room, kitchen, playroom, study, and wine room in the basement. The ground floor would feature dining and entertainment spaces, enhanced by a full-width extension and extensive glazing overlooking landscaped gardens designed and built by Ruth Willmott Associates, a multi-award-winning Chelsea Flower Show winner. The upper floors were to be remodeled to provide bedrooms with ensuites, along with a full house refurbishment.

Impressive transformation of a bungalow - Hampshire
Self-build by Oliver Steele-Perkins
This rundown bungalow, situated on a generous plot in a desirable area of Fleet, Hampshire, presented a clear opportunity for development into a family home. After acquiring the property through traditional means, I secured financing to fund the conversion of the bungalow into a house. I took full responsibility for the entire process, acting as both site manager and self-builder. In the true spirit of self-building, I was actively involved in every aspect of project management. Below is a summary of the key project elements—click to read more following an interview with Your Property Network magazine.

Roof-top views - Extending upwards - Richmond
Project Managed by Oliver Steele-Perkins for home-owner.
Selwyn Court, a distinctive Art-Deco apartment building, is ideally situated near the top of Church Road in Richmond. Our clients, a professional couple, secured planning permission to extend their rooftop apartment laterally and appointed Steele-Perkins to manage the project from start to finish. The proposed scheme involved significant renovation and refurbishment, requiring a Licence to Alter—a detailed and time-consuming process where the design, technical details, and specifications must be meticulously prepared and approved by the Managing Agents and their surveyors before construction begins. This process integrates into a comprehensive schedule of works and cost planning, all managed by Steele-Perkins.
The extension resulted in a stunning kitchen and dining room with new Crittall glazing, opening onto a fantastic roof garden with views over London. The project was technically complex, involving a small curved extension that enclosed two of the existing north-facing balconies into the new kitchen and extended the apartment block’s roof into the new extension while preserving the warranties of both the existing structure and the new addition.
The result was a beautiful enhancement to a rooftop apartment.
