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 — just off the A39; covering PL30 from Bodmin, St Breward, Washaway outward.

Our process
How a Warleggan full build package project runs.

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.

Warleggan is covered from our Bodmin run. Being a smaller place, the local detail matters more than the headline policy: lane access, neighbour proximity and what the immediate street already looks like.
Page purpose
How a Warleggan build actually runs
This is delivery, not paperwork. The value here is programme, sequencing and a single point of responsibility for a PL30 site. In Warleggan that usually means access, storage and neighbour management get planned before the first delivery arrives.
- Site set-up planned around Warleggan access, parking and delivery constraints
- One programme covering trades, inspections and building control sign-off
- Materials specified for local exposure, not a generic national spec
- Weekly progress contact so decisions never hold up the programme

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.
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. Where a property sits inside a conservation area or is listed, the assessment tends to turn on materials, window detailing and how visible the change is from the street rather than floor area alone. Cornwall Council's conservation team, or the Planning Portal, is the right place to confirm what applies to a specific address. On working land, the practical questions are usually track access for deliveries, foul drainage and how a new form sits in open landscape. General guidance only, so confirm your position with Cornwall Council before committing.
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.

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.
- We live in the house. Can a full build package in Warleggan be done while we stay put?
- Usually yes for single-storey and rear work, with a temporary kitchen or bathroom arrangement agreed before the start. Whole-house remodels and roof work in Warleggan are often easier if you move out for a few weeks. We set that expectation at feasibility stage rather than halfway through.
- 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.
