Project Management & Full Build in Tregony
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 Tregony, that work is shaped by the place itself — Tregony is an AONB former rotten borough at the head of the Fal estuary, with a wide Georgian high street and one of Cornwall's quieter period property markets, with a building stock that leans toward Georgian townhouses on Fore Street and Victorian villas.

Local context
Why Tregony is its own job.
Conservation Area covers the historic high street and church; AONB across the parish. Former borough heritage and listed buildings shape design considerations. For full build package specifically, parts of Tregony sit within a designated Conservation Area, which means materials, fenestration and roof pitches all need to read sympathetically with the existing streetscape; 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's why we treat every Tregony project as a TR2-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 Tregony.
01
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
02
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
03
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.

FAQs
Tregony Full Build — common questions.
- 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 Tregony specifically, we'd start by checking the Conservation Area boundary 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.
- 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.
