Architectural design & build in Polruan
Polruan sits opposite Fowey across the river, accessible by passenger ferry, with a tightly packed slate-cottage village clinging to the cliffs above the harbour. Conservation Area covers the village core; AONB and Heritage Coast across Lanteglos parish. Cliff-edge sites face strict controls and access for any build is logistically tight.

Architectural Design & Planning in Polruan
We prepare site-specific concept design, planning drawings and supporting documents that give your project the strongest possible chance of consent — and a clear path through Cornwall Council's planning process.
Planning Applications in Polruan
We prepare and submit planning applications to Cornwall Council and, where relevant, the Isles of Scilly authority — handling drawings, statements, validation queries and officer negotiation from start to determination.
Building Regulations Drawings in Polruan
Building regulation drawings in Cornwall, drawn properly. Approved planning gets you permission to build — a complete building regs package is what gets you a building you can actually live in: 1:50 plans, 1:10 details, structural coordination and a specification a Cornish builder can price and build from without guesswork.
House Extensions in Polruan
Extensions are the bread and butter of Cornish homes — adding the kitchen-diner the original layout never had, the bedroom for a growing family, or the light and views the back of the house should always have had.
Bespoke New Builds in Polruan
A bespoke new build is the longest project we do, and the most rewarding. From plot appraisal through planning, building regulations and construction, you work with one team from the first sketch to the handover walk-round.
Renovations & Remodels in Polruan
Cornish housing stock is brilliant and infuriating in equal measure. We renovate cottages, farmhouses, mid-century homes and post-war estates — opening up layouts, fixing damp, adding light and bringing the property up to a standard worth living in.
Loft Conversions in Polruan
A well-designed loft conversion adds a bedroom, an en-suite and useful storage to homes that were never built with the upper floor in mind — usually inside permitted development and almost always cheaper per square metre than extending sideways.
Project Management & Full Build in Polruan
Once drawings are approved, the build is the bit that decides whether you get the home you imagined or a frustrating compromise. We deliver projects on a single contract — design, drawings, approvals and construction — so the team that drew it is the team that builds it.
Measured Building Surveys in Polruan
A measured survey records the building as it stands, not as the original drawings claimed it would be. Every planning drawing, building regulation package and builder's quote we produce sits on one, because a wall that is 60mm out of square on paper becomes a 60mm problem on site.
Construction and Technical Drawings in Polruan
Construction drawings are the stage between an approved scheme and a building that gets built correctly. They set out how the parts meet: junctions, insulation lines, fixings, structural support and the specification a builder needs to price properly rather than guess at.
Commercial and Retail Drawings in Polruan
Commercial work runs on different rules to housing. Fire strategy, means of escape, accessibility and often advertisement consent all come into play, and a landlord, a licensing officer and a building control inspector will each want to see something specific before the doors open.
Structural Calculations and Coordination in Polruan
Whenever a wall comes out, a roof is opened up or a new opening is formed, building control will want calculations showing that what is left holds up what is above it. We coordinate that work alongside the drawings so the beam on the calculation sheet is the beam on the drawing.
Typical building stock
- slate-hung cottages
- fishermen's terraces
