Cornwall barn conversions by Mike McGinn & Son, property developers Cornwall, have been converting barns throughout Cornwall for many years and have earned a reputation for excellence from many satisfied clients. Whilst we don’t usually advertise, our work has typically come from “word-of-mouth” from previous, satisfied clients, the current financial climate has reduced our work flow so, we thought we would try promoting our business with City Local to reach a wider audience and introduce you to the business.

Because we are a small property developers business, we can keep our overheads to a minimum so find that we can be very competitive in the market place on some projects being 20% cheaper on the overall job than quoted by well known builders merchants quantity surveyors. We have a in house engineer for those boring calculations and can help you through the planning procedure we bring in trades men that we have used for years who are reliable and top of their trades certificated part P and Corgi registered and I with the help from the client project manage the job (at no extra cost) so the client always knows where they are.

As experienced property developers, we know that property conversions can be a very stressful experience for the client and the developers but I have found it can be reduced significantly simply by organisation and communicating with the client and keeping every one informed.

As respected property developers in Cornwall, we have been assisting clients with barn conversions of all types and conditions and during the conversions we will work on all aspects of the building. Such work could include work on the foundations, walls, timbers, insulation, roofs and running of essential services to the property.

Whilst there are many forms of barn design, they basically break down in to three types. These are box construction barns, post and truss and Cruck frame barns. We will work directly with you or your Architect to convert the barn whilst remaining sympathetic to the design and the materials previously used. Using property developers with many years experience of converting barns, you will ultimately save money. Inexperienced property developers will not have the knowledge of the types of problems that can be encountered during the conversion process and this will ultimately increase costs or cause major structural issues following completion of the project. Simple things like additional structural loading and an increase in heat (through the use of central heating) can all cause problems in the long run. Taking in to account issues such as this during the design, planning and conversion process will reduce costs in the long run. Add to this the increased complexity of planning legislation surrounding barn conversions, will help you understand why its essential to use property developer who have the knowledge and experience to complete your project.

With the contacts we have established over the years as property developers in Cornwall, we can source replacement materials to match the original ones used during construction.

As well as the work we do with barn conversions, as property developers, we can also help you with building extensions, building renovations and loft conversions.
