Heamoor full build — a West Cornwall 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. On a Heamoor site, the brief always meets the place — Heamoor is a residential village on the northern edge of Penzance, originally a separate hamlet, now effectively a suburb with its own primary school and parish identity, with a building stock that leans toward Victorian and Edwardian terraces and modern new-build estates.
Heamoor sits in West Cornwall — covering TR18 from Penzance, Madron, Gulval outward.

Who this is for
Heamoor runs the full mix — owner-occupier, holiday-let, commercial and the occasional smallholding — so we scope every full build package enquiry from the use-class up.

Heamoor-specific issues we screen on the first visit.
Watch #1
Parish-level character expectations that don't appear on any policy map
Local proof — We typically have one or two full build package jobs live in the TR18 area at any time, so the local planning officers know our drawings on sight.

Heamoor Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In Heamoor specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
Local context
Why Heamoor is its own job.
The planning backdrop in West Cornwall is real, not abstract: within Madron parish; outside Conservation Area and AONB. Edge-of-Penzance development pressure has driven significant new estate housing in the last twenty years. For full build package specifically, Heamoor sits outside the headline designations, which usually gives a slightly more flexible starting point — but parish-level character still matters. Treat the TR18 parish brief as the design brief and the Heamoor application has somewhere to land. Whether the project is on Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the centre or further out toward Madron, 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 Heamoor.
01
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
02
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
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.
Our process
How a Heamoor 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 TR18.
Building stock
Across Heamoor (TR18) we work on Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis, 1960s and 1970s estates, modern new-build estates. Each stock type drives a different full build package response — Victorian and Edwardian terraces in particular needs careful detailing here.
Parish & policy
Heamoor sits in the parish of Madron, which matters for how parish-level consultation lands on a full build package application.
Coverage
We cover TR18 from our studio, with regular full build package jobs also running in Penzance, Madron, Gulval. Most Heamoor site visits get booked within the same week.
What does a first Heamoor consultation cost?
Nothing. We come to the property, walk the site, talk through what works on a TR18 plot and follow up with a written feasibility note inside a week — no obligation either way.
