Project Management & Full Build in Sheviock
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. Reading Sheviock on the ground is half of the full build package job — Sheviock is a rural parish in the PL11 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward converted barns and smallholdings.
Sheviock sits in East Cornwall — covering PL11 from Torpoint, Millbrook, Antony outward.

Local watch-list
What usually catches full build package projects out in Sheviock.
Watch #1
Tighter Local Plan tests on isolated rural dwellings
Who this is for
Sheviock 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 Sheviock is its own job.
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, 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 Sheviock job runs as a PL11-specific piece of work — local policy, local fabric, local builders. Most of our full build package work in Sheviock lands on converted barns, with detailing that has to nod to the wider Millbrook 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 Sheviock.
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
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
Our process
How a Sheviock 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
Sheviock 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 Sheviock 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.
- 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.
- 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.
