One studio for full build package in Week St Mary
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. Working in Week St Mary means starting from the EX22 context — Week St Mary is a rural parish in the EX22 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward rural cottages and scattered modern homes.
Week St Mary sits in North Cornwall — just off the A39; covering EX22 from Bude, Stratton, Poughill outward.
- Rural / open-countryside policy area

Why Week St Mary is its own job.
Two things shape a Week St Mary application: parish character and policy. On policy — open-countryside policy, access lanes, drainage and agricultural building history all need to be addressed before drawings go too far. 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. Get that local reading right and the rest of the Week St Mary programme tends to run on time. On rural cottages in particular — the kind you'll also find toward Flexbury — the full build package brief always has to read the existing fabric first.
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 Week St Mary.
01
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.
02
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
03
Off-grid sites need their own water, drainage and power solutions designed and procured rather than assumed.
04
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.

This is delivery, not paperwork. The value here is programme, sequencing and a single point of responsibility for a EX22 site. In Week St Mary that usually means access, storage and neighbour management get planned before the first delivery arrives.
- Site set-up planned around Week St Mary 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

Week St Mary Full Build — local questions answered.
- 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. In Week St Mary 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 Week St Mary 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 Week St Mary are often easier if you move out for a few weeks. We set that expectation at feasibility stage rather than halfway through.
- 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.
- 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.
