About

We are

To us, every project is an opportunity to leave a lasting positive mark: on your home, on the community, on you.

About Us

We understand what makes a project successful

Our extensive local knowledge and experience, together with our full-service model, gives you confidence that your ideas will be drawn up into workable, cost-effective designs, and carried out according to realistic timescales.

Modern, stylish, but in keeping with the traditional landscape and architecture, we have the skills to design and build your perfect home in Cornwall or elsewhere.

We know what it means

Your building project matters to you, whether that’s a new home, an extension, a renovation, or a commercial venture. That means it matters to us too, and we will put all our knowledge and skills into realising your ideas, achieving your dreams and even going a step further. 

We make it all about you

Client communication is baked into our entire working culture and procedures, starting with listening to the vision for your project, and ensuring you are as involved as you wish to be in the decisions.  

Our designs are formed around the person or people who will be living in, or using the finished property, to ensure everything flows, and creates an uplifting space to be in.

One of our strengths is empathy with our clients – we’re not your normal building firm.

We keep your future neighbours on-side

We pride ourselves on maintaining good relations with your neighbours, seeking to minimise the local impact, and ensuring that your community is aware of what’s coming next.  

It’s our ethos to treat your neighbours with kindness and dignity during the construction stage to ensure your relationship with those around your new home or business is stronger than ever.

Hating ladders is OK

So you’re having your house built, but you hate ladders… That’s perfectly OK. We’re not expecting you to be up to your elbows in tiles and plastering – and to be honest, we’d rather you weren’t!
