Project Management & Full Build in Threemilestone
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. In Threemilestone, that work is shaped by the place itself — Threemilestone is the western residential and retail-park suburb of Truro, with the West Cornwall Hospital site nearby and significant new estate development on the Langarth Garden Village land, with a building stock that leans toward 1970s and 1980s estates and modern Persimmon, Bellway and Wainhomes estates.
Local context
Why Threemilestone is its own job.
Outside Conservation Area and AONB. Langarth Garden Village (3,500+ homes) is reshaping the west of Truro with strict design code expectations on adjacent sites. For full build package specifically, Threemilestone sits outside the headline designations, which usually gives a slightly more flexible starting point — but parish-level character still matters. That's why we treat every Threemilestone project as a TR3-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on.
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 Threemilestone.
01
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
02
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
03
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.

FAQs
Threemilestone Full Build — common questions.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices. In Threemilestone specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- 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.
- 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.
