Full Build for Philleigh (TR2)
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. Philleigh sits in Roseland, and that geography ends up in the drawings — Philleigh is a rural parish in the TR2 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward rural cottages and scattered modern homes.
Philleigh sits in Roseland — covering TR2 from Tregony, Ruan Lanihorne, Truro outward.

Our process
How a Philleigh 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.

Full Build considerations specific to Philleigh.
01
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
02
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
03
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
04
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
Local context
Why Philleigh is its own job.
In Philleigh the planning picture is specific: open-countryside policy, access lanes, drainage and agricultural building history all need to be addressed before drawings go too far. For full build package specifically, 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; 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. That local reading is what makes a Philleigh (TR2) project different from a generic Cornwall scheme — and is the whole reason we work this way. On rural cottages in particular — the kind you'll also find toward St Austell — 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
Philleigh 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 Philleigh specifically, we'd start by checking AONB landscape sensitivity 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.
