The Project Team: Led by Experience, Built for Your Vision
At Steele-Perkins, every successful project begins with the right team — carefully selected, expertly coordinated, and aligned with your vision from the outset. Drawing on a trusted network of leading specialists, I curate a team tailored to your project’s style, complexity, and budget.
Whether your plans involve sensitive heritage works, contemporary architectural statements, or complex structural challenges, I bring together the professionals best suited to deliver exceptional results. Acting as your single point of contact, I manage the team to agreed timelines, ensuring seamless collaboration and absolute accountability at every stage.
A Fully Managed, Seamless Process
From the earliest concept to final completion, I lead the design and project team through a structured, proactive pre-construction programme. Every step is managed with experience to safeguard your investment, avoid delays, and ensure your project is build-ready with:
Fully coordinated designs and specifications
Regulatory approvals and compliance documentation
Pre-commencement technical approvals and notifications
Robust cost plans and financial controls
Contractual documents and insurance arrangements
With this proven process in place, your project moves confidently into the construction phase , fully prepared and with reduced risk.
Interior Design
Interior designers focus on creating cohesive and inspiring spaces by selecting finishes, furnishings, and bespoke details that align with your style and enhance the functionality of your home. I’ll introduce you with specialists who bring creative vision to the project, ensuring your interiors reflect your taste and home’s character.
Sustainability & Energy
Achieving optimal performance and sustainability in your home requires a seamless integration of mechanical and electrical (M&E) design with eco-friendly solutions. This includes heating, cooling, ventilation, and renewable energy systems, all working together to enhance comfort and efficiency.
Energy efficiency begins with the building fabric and is supported by innovative services, such as renewable energy sources, smart technologies, and sustainable materials. Collaborating with specialists in these fields ensures your home is designed for performance, sustainability, and long-term cost savings.
Smart Home Integration
Smart home specialists bring market-leading technology to your project, ensuring your home is functional and future-proof. From home automation to advanced security systems, they work to integrate the latest technologies seamlessly into the fabric and services of your build.
Smart home systems can control everything from blinds, heating, cooling, and lighting to more comprehensive setups by taking your ideas and developing them into a cohesive, tailored solution. Whether you need a simple system or a fully integrated approach, these solutions are customised to suit the specific nature of your project.
At Steele-Perkins Projects, we work with industry-leading specialists to design and implement systems that meet your needs, lifestyle, and aspirations. From concept to completion, I’ll coordinate the design and build process, ensuring every element is aligned with the broader project for a bespoke experience.
Structural Design
Structural engineers ensure the integrity and stability of your build, addressing everything that impacts loading and overall structural performance. Their designs are tailored to accommodate local ground conditions, nearby environmental factors such as trees or adjacent building loadings, the structure of your property, and the proposed changes.
Key to effective structural design is gathering accurate information, which may involve soil investigations, ground surveys, or opening up works to assess the existing structure. This ensures the design is both practical and aligned with the realities of your site.
Throughout the process, I monitor buildability, ensuring that design proposals are practical and aligned with your budget. Structural designs are carefully coordinated with architectural plans and integrated into a pre-construction programme, including technical checks for Building Control compliance. I manage this coordination and oversee supporting surveys to ensure the design progresses efficiently and aligns with the project goals.
Health & Safety Compliance
Health and safety in construction are legal obligations, with responsibilities shared by the client, the principal designer, and the principal contractor. At Steele-Perkins Projects, we break this down for you, ensuring you are informed and advised early to make confident decisions.
Your role as the client is crucial, and how you choose to procure your project will influence how health and safety are managed. Regardless of your approach, we prioritise your interests, providing guidance to ensure compliance and best practices.
We co-ordinate the three key stakeholders, ensuring the principal designer’s formal handover documents set the foundation for a safe and well-managed build. As a qualified SMSTS (Site Management Safety Training Scheme) professional, I understand precisely what contractors should deliver, when, and how, ensuring they operate safely and diligently throughout your project.
With our expertise, you can trust that health and safety will be managed to the highest standard, protecting both you and your project at every stage.
Specialist Design & Installation
Some of a project's most defining elements come from bespoke, specialist-designed packages that require careful coordination with the architectural and structural design. This includes more significant components such as whole-house timber frame designs or oak frame buildings, where early-stage collaboration is critical to ensure considered integration with the overall structure.
Smaller but equally impactful packages, such as joinery for kitchens, studies, or snugs, home cinemas, libraries, clever storage solutions, and home bars, require detailed design. Using innovative materials, different textures, and fittings, these bespoke elements bring a luxurious and unique character to your home.
I help by introducing you to leading specialists, advising them, and ensuring their work is coordinated with the broader project. My practical experience, programming expertise, and deep understanding of building processes ensure these packages are delivered to the highest standards and scheduled efficiently into your project programme.
Party Wall Matters
Party wall surveyors are essential for projects involving shared boundaries or structures. Under the Party Wall Act 1996, they ensure legal compliance and maintain good relationships with neighbours. Their expertise is required for building on boundary lines, altering shared walls, or excavating near neighbouring properties.
I’ll coordinate the necessary information to facilitate the serving of formal notices and manage to integrate the Party Wall Surveyor’s work into the overall design and pre-construction programme. By addressing party wall matters early in the process, we ensure everything progresses smoothly, compliance is maintained, and relationships with neighbours remain positive.
Cost Planning - Budget Management
Effective cost planning begins at the conceptual stage, with outline budgets providing an early understanding of project feasibility. As the design evolves, the budget is expanded to include technical design details, ensuring every element is accounted for and tracked.
By managing the design and budget hand-in-hand, we create a clear, realistic financial plan ready for contractors to price, leading to an agreed contract sum. This proactive approach reduces the risk of unexpected costs during the build, providing clarity and confidence throughout the project.
“With the right team in place and every detail professionally managed, your vision moves from concept to completion, delivered with confidence, clarity, and care.”
