One studio for full build package in Mixtow
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 way we approach full build package in Mixtow starts with a measured walk-round — Mixtow is a creekside settlement in the PL23 area, with waterside homes, wooded valleys and narrow-lane access shaping the brief, with a building stock that leans toward converted barns and creekside cottages.
Mixtow sits in South Cornwall — covering PL23 from Fowey, Golant, Bodinnick outward.

Our process
How a Mixtow 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 PL23 area at any time, so the local planning officers know our drawings on sight.

Full Build considerations specific to Mixtow.
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
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
Local context
Why Mixtow is its own job.
Two things shape a Mixtow application: parish character and policy. On policy — creekside ecology, flood risk, trees and views across the water often matter as much as the building form itself. For full build package specifically, coastal salt-laden air around Mixtow drives detailing choices — fixings, render systems and timber treatments all need to be specified for exposure. Get that local reading right and the rest of the Mixtow programme tends to run on time. On converted barns in particular — the kind you'll also find toward Treesmill — 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
Mixtow 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 Mixtow 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.
