Project Management & Full Build in Feock
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 Feock version of this work has its own character — Feock is a sought-after AONB village above the Carrick Roads with views to St Mawes, a tight Conservation Area at the church, and one of Cornwall's strongest property markets, with a building stock that leans toward Edwardian villas above the river and high-end modern architect builds.
Feock sits in South Cornwall — covering TR3 from Devoran, Playing Place, Carnon Downs outward.

Our process
How a Feock 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 TR3 area at any time, so the local planning officers know our drawings on sight.

Full Build considerations specific to Feock.
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 Feock is its own job.
Conservation Area covers the church area and parts of the village core; AONB across the parish. Estuary views are weighed materially in most applications. For full build package specifically, parts of Feock sit within a designated Conservation Area, which means materials, fenestration and roof pitches all need to read sympathetically with the existing streetscape; 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; coastal salt-laden air around Feock drives detailing choices — fixings, render systems and timber treatments all need to be specified for exposure; 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 Feock job runs as a TR3-specific piece of work — local policy, local fabric, local builders. Most of our full build package work in Feock lands on Edwardian villas above the river, with detailing that has to nod to the wider Devoran 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.

What sets a Feock full build package brief apart.
Building stock
Across Feock (TR3) we work on historic farmhouses, Edwardian villas above the river, 1960s coastal homes, high-end modern architect builds. Each stock type drives a different full build package response — Edwardian villas above the river in particular needs careful detailing here.

FAQs
Feock Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In Feock specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary before committing to a direction.
- 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.
- 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.
