Design, planning and build for Boyton full build package
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. What works on a PL15 plot rarely works elsewhere — Boyton is a rural parish in the PL15 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward farmhouses and scattered modern homes.
Boyton sits in North Cornwall — covering PL15 from Launceston, Warbstow, North Petherwin outward.
- Rural / open-countryside policy area
- ✓ Plain-English feasibility before any drawings
- ✓ Free first site visit, no obligation
- ✓ Local to North Cornwall — not a national franchise
- ✓ Same team on paper as on site
Local proof — We typically have one or two full build package jobs live in the PL15 area at any time, so the local planning officers know our drawings on sight.

Why Boyton is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on Boyton is consistent: open-countryside policy, access lanes, drainage and agricultural building history all need to be addressed before drawings go too far. For full build package specifically, Cornwall Council's Local Plan applies tighter tests to isolated rural dwellings here, so design rationale and policy fit need to be set out clearly from the outset. That's why we treat every Boyton project as a PL15-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The farmhouses that dominate Boyton (and continue out toward North Petherwin) set the tone for any full build package scheme here.
Planning note
Build delivery doesn't need planning, but planning conditions often dictate site setup, materials and working hours — we read every condition and build the programme around them.
What we focus on
Full Build considerations specific to Boyton.
01
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
02
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
03
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
04
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.

Boyton Full Build — local questions answered.
- Fixed price or open book?
- Both. Fixed price suits well-defined projects with clear specs; open book suits renovations and listed work where the unknowns only reveal themselves once you start opening things up. We'll recommend the right route. In Boyton specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- Do you handle the whole project from drawing to finish?
- Yes — that's the model. One contract from feasibility to handover, with design, regs and build all under our roof. No coordination gap between designer and contractor.
- What guarantees and aftercare do you offer?
- Standard twelve-month defects period, plus product and workmanship warranties on relevant elements. We're a Cornish business — you'll still find us in the same studio in five years' time.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
- Are you insured?
- Public liability, employer's liability and contractor's all-risks cover are in place for every project, with certificates available before contract signing.
