Cury full build — a Lizard Peninsula studio
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. Anchor any Cury full build package in the local fabric and the rest follows — Cury is a rural parish in the TR12 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward scattered modern homes and converted barns.
Cury sits in Lizard Peninsula — covering TR12 from Mullion, Gunwalloe, Predannack outward.

Local watch-list
Cury-specific issues we screen on the first visit.
Watch #1
AONB landscape-impact scrutiny on visible elevations
Watch #2
Tighter Local Plan tests on isolated rural dwellings
Local proof — We typically have one or two full build package jobs live in the TR12 area at any time, so the local planning officers know our drawings on sight.

Cury Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In Cury specifically, we'd start by checking AONB landscape sensitivity 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Local context
Why Cury is its own job.
The planning backdrop in Lizard Peninsula is real, not abstract: 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, the surrounding landscape falls inside the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so massing, height and landscape impact carry extra weight in any planning decision; 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. Treat the TR12 parish brief as the design brief and the Cury application has somewhere to land. Whether the project is on scattered modern homes in the centre or further out toward Mullion, the full build package response is locally tuned.
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 Cury.
01
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
02
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
03
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
04
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
Our process
How a Cury 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 fabric
Choosing a full build package team that actually knows TR12.
Building stock
Across Cury (TR12) we work on farmhouses, converted barns, rural cottages, smallholdings, scattered modern homes. Each stock type drives a different full build package response — scattered modern homes in particular needs careful detailing here.
Parish & policy
Cury sits in the parish of Cury, which matters for how parish-level consultation lands on a full build package application.
Coverage
We cover TR12 from our studio, with regular full build package jobs also running in Mullion, Gunwalloe, Predannack. Most Cury site visits get booked within the same week.
What does a first Cury consultation cost?
Nothing. We come to the property, walk the site, talk through what works on a TR12 plot and follow up with a written feasibility note inside a week — no obligation either way.
