Project Management & Full Build in Warleggan
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. The Warleggan version of this work has its own character — Warleggan is a moorland-edge hamlet in the PL30 area, where exposed weather, narrow lanes and rural character set the brief, with a building stock that leans toward isolated houses and small rural infill.
Warleggan sits in North Cornwall — covering PL30 from Bodmin, St Breward, Washaway outward.

Local watch-list
What usually catches full build package projects out in Warleggan.
Watch #1
Tighter Local Plan tests on isolated rural dwellings
Who this is for
Warleggan runs the full mix — owner-occupier, holiday-let, commercial and the occasional smallholding — so we scope every full build package enquiry from the use-class up.
Local context
Why Warleggan is its own job.
Rural policy, landscape impact and services such as drainage are usually the key constraints, especially outside settlement boundaries. 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. So every Warleggan job runs as a PL30-specific piece of work — local policy, local fabric, local builders. Most of our full build package work in Warleggan lands on isolated houses, with detailing that has to nod to the wider St Breward streetscape.
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 Warleggan.
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.
Our process
How a Warleggan 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.
FAQs
Warleggan Full Build — local questions answered.
- How do you handle changes during the build?
- Weekly client meetings, written change requests, costed and signed before work proceeds. No surprise invoices. In Warleggan 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.
- 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.
