Design, planning and build for St Cleer 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 PL14 site visit comes before a St Cleer sketch, every time — St Cleer is a moorland-edge hamlet in the PL14 area, where exposed weather, narrow lanes and rural character set the brief, with a building stock that leans toward isolated houses and farm buildings.
St Cleer sits in East Cornwall — covering PL14 from Liskeard, Menheniot, Dobwalls outward.
- Rural / open-countryside policy area
- ✓ Cornwall Council regulars across every sub-area
- ✓ rural policy area experience built into the fee
- ✓ Local to East Cornwall — not a national franchise
- ✓ Same team on paper as on site
Local proof — Our East Cornwall workload means a St Cleer full build package project never has to wait for an out-of-county team to drive down.

Why St Cleer is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on St Cleer is consistent: rural policy, landscape impact and services such as drainage are usually the key constraints, especially outside settlement boundaries. 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. That's why we treat every St Cleer project as a PL14-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The isolated houses that dominate St Cleer (and continue out toward Dobwalls) 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 Cleer.
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.

Frame, roof, glazing — getting the building watertight.
Step 4
First and second fix

St Cleer 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 Cleer specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history 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.
- 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.
