Full Build Mylor Harbour: TR11 planning, South Cornwall fabric
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. What works on a TR11 plot rarely works elsewhere — Mylor Harbour is a creekside settlement in the TR11 area, with waterside homes, wooded valleys and narrow-lane access shaping the brief, with a building stock that leans toward waterside homes and converted barns.
Mylor Harbour sits in South Cornwall — covering TR11 from Mylor Bridge, Truro, St Austell outward.

Why Mylor Harbour is its own job.
Creekside ecology, flood risk, trees and views across the water often matter as much as the building form itself. That sets the scene before any design work begins. For full build package specifically, parts of Mylor Harbour 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 Mylor Harbour drives detailing choices — fixings, render systems and timber treatments all need to be specified for exposure. It's the kind of detail that decides whether a Mylor Harbour application gets approved at eight weeks or stalls in committee. The waterside homes that dominate Mylor Harbour (and continue out toward St Austell) set the tone for any full build package scheme here.
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 Mylor Harbour.
01
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
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
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.

Mylor Harbour 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 Mylor Harbour specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary before committing to a direction.
- 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.
