Project Management & Full Build in Lamanva
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 Lamanva version of this work has its own character — Lamanva is a small rural hamlet in the TR10 area, with scattered homes, lanes and a deliberately quiet settlement pattern, with a building stock that leans toward small infill homes and farmhouses.
Lamanva sits in South Cornwall — covering TR10 from Falmouth, Flushing, Budock Water outward.

Local watch-list
Common Lamanva pitfalls we plan around.
Watch #1
Tighter Local Plan tests on isolated rural dwellings
Who this is for
Lamanva 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.
Local context
Why Lamanva 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 Lamanva job runs as a TR10-specific piece of work — local policy, local fabric, local builders. Most of our full build package work in Lamanva lands on small infill homes, with detailing that has to nod to the wider Flushing 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 we focus on
Full Build considerations specific to Lamanva.
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
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
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 Lamanva 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.
FAQs
Lamanva 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 Lamanva specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Lamanva is part of Falmouth
Lamanva sits inside the Falmouth catchment — we cover both as one full build package territory.
