Design, planning and build for St Blazey full build package
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. A PL24 site visit comes before a St Blazey sketch, every time — St Blazey is a small industrial settlement in the PL24 catchment, shaped by historic works, transport links and everyday village housing, with a building stock that leans toward post-war houses and former industrial buildings.
St Blazey sits in Mid Cornwall — covering PL24 from St Austell, Bugle, St Dennis outward.

Why St Blazey is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on St Blazey is consistent: old industrial plots, heritage remnants and mixed residential edges mean design statements need to explain scale, access and materials clearly. For full build package specifically, parts of St Blazey sit within a designated Conservation Area, which means materials, fenestration and roof pitches all need to read sympathetically with the existing streetscape. That's why we treat every St Blazey project as a PL24-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The post-war houses that dominate St Blazey (and continue out toward St Dennis) 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 St Blazey.
01
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
02
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
03
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
04
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
Our process
How a St Blazey 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.

Parish & policy

St Blazey Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In St Blazey specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary before committing to a direction.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
St Blazey is part of St Austell
St Blazey sits inside the St Austell catchment — we cover both as one full build package territory.
