One studio for full build package in Kelly Bray
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. Kelly Bray sits in East Cornwall, and that geography ends up in the drawings — Kelly Bray is a town-edge neighbourhood in the PL17 area, where modern housing, larger gardens and edge-of-settlement plots create practical development opportunities, with a building stock that leans toward semis and infill plots.
Kelly Bray sits in East Cornwall — covering PL17 from Callington, Stoke Climsland, Linkinhorne outward.
- Rural / open-countryside policy area

Our process
How a Kelly Bray 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 — Most Kelly Bray homeowners come to us after a full build package quote elsewhere felt vague on planning — we lead with feasibility instead.

Full Build considerations specific to Kelly Bray.
01
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
02
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
03
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
04
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
Local context
Why Kelly Bray is its own job.
Two things shape a Kelly Bray application: parish character and policy. On policy — neighbour amenity, highways, drainage and the transition from built-up edge to countryside are usually the planning pressure points. 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. Get that local reading right and the rest of the Kelly Bray programme tends to run on time. On semis in particular — the kind you'll also find toward Calstock — 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.

FAQs
Kelly Bray 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 Kelly Bray specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history 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.
- 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.
- 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.
