Design, planning and build for Wendron 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. A TR13 site visit comes before a Wendron sketch, every time — Wendron is a rural parish in the TR13 area, with farmsteads, lanes and scattered homes defining its built character, with a building stock that leans toward converted barns and farmhouses.
Wendron sits in West Cornwall — covering TR13 from Helston, Breage, Ashton outward.

Why Wendron is its own job.
Cornwall Council's lens on Wendron is consistent: 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. That's why we treat every Wendron project as a TR13-area job first — not a generic Cornwall job with a postcode bolted on. The converted barns that dominate Wendron (and continue out toward Ashton) 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 Wendron.
01
Material lead times to Cornwall are longer than the M5 corridor; sequencing orders early protects the build programme.
02
Cornish trades are a tight community; using contractors who've worked together before saves weeks on programme and arguments on site.
03
Weather windows on Cornish coastal sites are short — getting the building watertight before autumn matters more here than in central England.
04
Single-contract delivery removes the gap between architect's intent and builder's interpretation — fewer change orders, less variation cost.

Wendron 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 Wendron specifically, we'd start by checking the latest parish-level planning history before committing to a direction.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
