What Kind of Construction Jobs Come from Planning Applications?

BuildAlert scans planning applications that lead to real, local construction and building work across Cornwall. Here are some of the most common job types our users win through the platform:

Single & Two-Storey Extensions

Popular across Cornwall for expanding older cottages, rural homes, and family properties.

Barn Conversions & Rural Redevelopments

Common in the countryside — turning old agricultural buildings into stylish homes.

Outbuildings, Studios & Garden Rooms

Great for holiday lets, garden offices, or hobby rooms — ideal for electricians and fit-out trades.

Loft Conversions & Roof Dormers

Maximising space in traditional homes and bungalows — often requiring structural and roofing work.

New Eco-Builds & Sustainable Homes

Self-build projects focused on energy efficiency — perfect for groundworkers, builders, and green tech installers.

Annexes & Granny Flats

Used for multigenerational living or Airbnb-style income — these often need full-service trades.

Change of Use Projects

From B&Bs to homes or garages to living spaces — usually needing extensive internal alterations.

Roof Replacements & Velux Installations

Re-roofing or adding natural light — ideal for roofers and joiners working on Cornwall’s coastal homes.

Whether you're a plasterer in Penzance or a heating engineer in Bodmin, these projects often need your skills at the earliest stage – and BuildAlert helps you reach the homeowner first.
