Design, planning and build for Treliske 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. Every Treliske project we take on begins with reading the local context — Treliske is a town-edge neighbourhood in the TR1 area, where modern housing, larger gardens and edge-of-settlement plots create practical development opportunities, with a building stock that leans toward semis and bungalows.
Treliske sits in Mid Cornwall — covering TR1 from Truro, St Michael Penkivel, Calenick outward.
- Rural / open-countryside policy area
- ✓ Plain-English feasibility before any drawings
- ✓ Free first site visit, no obligation
- ✓ One studio — design, planning and build under one roof
- ✓ Local to Mid Cornwall — not a national franchise
Local proof — Most Treliske full build package clients we work with are second-time builders — they've seen the templated approach fail once already.

Why Treliske is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on Treliske is consistent: neighbour amenity, highways, drainage and the transition from built-up edge to countryside are usually the planning pressure points. 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 Treliske project as a TR1-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The semis that dominate Treliske (and continue out toward Calenick) 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 Treliske.
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
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
04
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.

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.

Treliske Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In Treliske 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.
- 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.
- 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.
