Hi my name is Steve, I am a construction professional who thrives on gaining the best out of my contractors, ensuring a high quality finish to the end product, whether it’s a social housing Kitchen & bathroom schemes or new build housing.
We’re honoured to have been featured in the media by several leading outlets and major publications
I have been in the construction industry for 40 Years, with 26 of those having been in site management. I started as a foreman and worked my way up to site manager, on both social housing and new build projects throughout Yorkshire & Humberside.
As the Project Manager at the Property Buying Company, my role involves managing the property redevelopments, procuring reliable and conscientious new contractors to add to our portfolio, to carry out these works.
My job is to ensure time scale and deadlines are met and quality is maintained to a high standard in every refurbishment we complete.
My role is important because, as well as managing the quality and progression of our ongoing refurbishments, I am out on road surveying properties prior to the initial sign off for sales completion. This gives us an insight of what would be involved and the costings of potential redevelopment.
My proudest moment was managing my own first new build project in Scarborough, which was a 3 storey block of 29 apartments for a social housing provider. Watching it emerge out of the ground and seeing the difference in progression compared to the previous week, it’s amazing!
My proudest moment was also my most challenging moment, guaranteeing timely delivery of materials and ensuring contractors were on site of a particular project was a huge challenge, it was necessary so that work was undertaken as programmed, and the project was delivered to the time scale – although I can’t go into a great amount of detail on the particular project, it was a huge challenge I managed to overcome.
I am a big cycling fan, this along with my other passion of motor homing, has allowed me to travel the UK and Europe. It’s been a great journey, incorporating cycling up the big Mountain Cols in France used in The Tour De France, by the cycling legends of the past through to the present.
Honest, Trustworthy, Reliable
