Full Build Tregurrian: TR8 planning, North Cornwall fabric
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. What works on a TR8 plot rarely works elsewhere — Tregurrian is a small rural hamlet in the TR8 area, with scattered homes, lanes and a deliberately quiet settlement pattern, with a building stock that leans toward small infill homes and bungalows.
Tregurrian sits in North Cornwall — covering TR8 from Newquay, Cubert, Holywell Bay outward.

Why Tregurrian is its own job.
The main planning test is usually whether the proposal remains subordinate, locally detailed and acceptable on access, drainage and neighbour amenity. That sets the scene before any design work begins. For full build package specifically, 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; coastal salt-laden air around Tregurrian drives detailing choices — fixings, render systems and timber treatments all need to be specified for exposure. It's the kind of detail that decides whether a Tregurrian application gets approved at eight weeks or stalls in committee. The small infill homes that dominate Tregurrian (and continue out toward Holywell Bay) 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 Tregurrian.
01
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
02
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
03
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
04
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
Our process
How a Tregurrian 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.

Tregurrian Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In Tregurrian specifically, we'd start by checking AONB landscape sensitivity before committing to a direction.
- 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.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices.
- 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.
