Project Management & Full Build in Coombe St Austell
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. The Coombe St Austell version of this work has its own character — Coombe St Austell is a small rural hamlet in the PL26 area, with scattered homes, lanes and a deliberately quiet settlement pattern, with a building stock that leans toward farmhouses and bungalows.
Coombe St Austell sits in Mid Cornwall — just off the A390; covering PL26 from St Austell, Bugle, St Dennis outward.

Our process
How a Coombe St Austell 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 — We typically have one or two full build package jobs live in the PL26 area at any time, so the local planning officers know our drawings on sight.

What we focus on
Full Build considerations specific to Coombe St Austell.
01
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
02
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
03
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
04
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
Local context
Why Coombe St Austell is its own job.
The main planning test is usually whether the proposal remains subordinate, locally detailed and acceptable on access, drainage and neighbour amenity. 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. So every Coombe St Austell job runs as a PL26-specific piece of work — local policy, local fabric, local builders. Most of our full build package work in Coombe St Austell lands on farmhouses, with detailing that has to nod to the wider Bugle streetscape.
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.

FAQs
Coombe St Austell Full Build — local questions answered.
- Can you build from someone else's drawings?
- Yes, with a review. We'll happily build from approved drawings produced elsewhere, after a technical review to confirm the design holds up at construction stage. In Coombe St Austell specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- We live in the house. Can a full build package in Coombe St Austell be done while we stay put?
- Usually yes for single-storey and rear work, with a temporary kitchen or bathroom arrangement agreed before the start. Whole-house remodels and roof work in Coombe St Austell are often easier if you move out for a few weeks. We set that expectation at feasibility stage rather than halfway through.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
- 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.
- 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.
