Full Build for Canonstown (TR27)
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. Working in Canonstown means starting from the TR27 context — Canonstown is a commuter village in the TR27 area, with everyday family housing, edge-of-village plots and quick routes to its parent town, with a building stock that leans toward bungalows and older cottages.
Canonstown sits in West Cornwall — covering TR27 from Hayle, Angarrack, Phillack outward.

Our process
How a Canonstown full build package project runs.
Step 1
Pre-construction
Programme, procurement, contractor briefing and site setup.
Step 2
Substructure
Foundations, drainage, ground beams — the unglamorous bit that decides everything later.
Step 3
Superstructure
Frame, roof, glazing — getting the building watertight.
Step 4
First and second fix
Services, plaster, joinery, kitchens and bathrooms.
Step 5
Snag and handover
Final inspection, building control sign-off, handover pack and aftercare.
Full builds run from twelve weeks for small extensions to eighteen months for new build family homes.
Local proof — Our West Cornwall workload means a Canonstown full build package project never has to wait for an out-of-county team to drive down.

Full Build considerations specific to Canonstown.
01
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
02
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
03
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
04
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
Local context
Why Canonstown is its own job.
In Canonstown the planning picture is specific: applications here usually turn on neighbour amenity, parking, overlooking and whether new work fits the rhythm of existing streets. For full build package specifically, the wider area forms part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, which adds a heritage assessment layer to most material changes. That local reading is what makes a Canonstown (TR27) project different from a generic Cornwall scheme — and is the whole reason we work this way. On bungalows in particular — the kind you'll also find toward Connor Downs — the full build package brief always has to read the existing fabric first.
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.
