Full Build Treverva: TR10 planning, South 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 TR10 plot rarely works elsewhere — Treverva is a rural parish in the TR10 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward converted barns and farmhouses.
Treverva sits in South Cornwall — covering TR10 from Falmouth, Flushing, Budock Water outward.

Why Treverva is its own job.
Open-countryside policy, access lanes, drainage and agricultural building history all need to be addressed before drawings go too far. That sets the scene before any design work begins. 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. It's the kind of detail that decides whether a Treverva application gets approved at eight weeks or stalls in committee. The converted barns that dominate Treverva (and continue out toward Budock Water) 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 Treverva.
01
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
02
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
03
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
04
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.

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