Steve has been in the construction industry for 41 years, working on all the different sectors and holding high level positions within the industry. Steve’s background in construction can be found at www.elevateconstruction.co.uk
It was when Steve was working as a trouble-shooter for the industry, going onto different projects and turning them around, he realised that the same problems kept arising all the time. The major problems being in either design, finance or construction or a combination of these. With this in mind Steve started the development of Elevate. Steve was not looking for a system that followed the business trend of risk management but he wanted a system that helped people and guided them all the way through their works ensuring that all the different sectors were linked together and all followed the same route.
Once designed Steve knew he needed specialists to develop the software, so the search began and Steve eventually found 3 IT companies (UK, USA, India), who he employed and could rely on to provide the coding, marketing and back up that would be required. As development was on-going Steve continued to look at the bigger companies in regards to customer services and legal protection. Steve wanted Elevate to be the best, with customer service being the most important. If people had problems in using the software then this was not the user’s fault but it was a design fault the software. The software had to be user friendly to all.
