Overview
The Perrantide development at Upton Bude is a residential-led scheme designed to deliver high-quality, sustainable housing that responds sensitively to its rural Cornish setting. From a construction management standpoint, the project focuses on efficient delivery, robust cost control, and careful coordination of works to achieve programme certainty while maintaining quality and compliance.
The construction strategy is based on a phased delivery approach, enabling effective sequencing of groundworks, superstructure, and finishing trades while minimising disruption to the surrounding community. Early contractor involvement and detailed pre-construction planning have been central to identifying site-specific constraints, including access, utilities coordination, ground conditions, and local planning requirements. These considerations have informed the construction methodology, logistics planning, and risk management strategy.
Key priorities for the construction management team include programme control, health and safety leadership, and quality assurance across all stages of the build. A comprehensive Construction Phase Plan underpins site operations, ensuring compliance with CDM regulations and establishing clear lines of responsibility between the client, consultants, contractors, and supply chain partners.
Sustainability and buildability are integral to the project’s delivery. Material selection, waste management, and energy-efficient construction techniques are coordinated to align with environmental objectives while maintaining cost efficiency. Local subcontractors and suppliers are engaged where possible to support the regional economy and improve supply chain resilience.
Overall, the Perrantide development is managed to balance time, cost, quality, and risk, delivering a well-constructed residential scheme that meets client objectives, regulatory requirements, and end-user expectations.
