Founder Story

Meet Steven Rowlands, Founder

Steven Rowlands founded Haus Developer after more than 25 years working in the construction and property development sectors. His background spans hands-on site work, project management, and the commercial disciplines that separate a builder who can put up a wall from one who can deliver a complex project on time and on budget.

What sets Steven apart from most builders is the deliberate breadth of his training. He has invested consistently in his own professional development across every aspect of the build process, from site safety and construction skills through to property development, project management, and client communication. That combination is unusual in this trade, and Steven is personally responsible for every project Haus Developer takes on, from the first conversation through to the final handover.

Property Development and Project Management

In October 2024 Steven completed the Developing Homes three-day Property Developers Blueprint, a comprehensive programme covering opportunity identification, site appraisal, investment raising, planning and legal navigation, and construction cost management. This was supported by the five-day Refurbishment Accelerator Training in early 2024 and the Refurbishment Kick Start programme in December 2023, both focused on delivering profitable refurbishment projects to a high standard and within budget.

Why This Matters on Your Project

Construction projects go wrong for predictable reasons: poor planning, inadequate site safety, and builders who underestimate costs. Steven’s qualifications address every one of those failure points directly. An SMSTS-certified site manager with formal project management training and more than 25 years in the trade. That is a level of experience and qualification that is genuinely hard to find.
