The company remains dedicated to building brilliance and true to the family ethos which is the foundation of the firm’s success.

Established in 1923 in Torbay by Philip D Cavanna and his brother, Ray, the company has grown to become one of the largest independent housebuilders in the South West, regularly and consistently achieving 5 star status in the New Home Customer Satisfaction Survey.

It remains committed to following the family values established by its founders, conducting business in a determined, considered and considerate manner that it’s founders and their Cavanna family successors would instinctively recognise and support.

In the past 30 years Cavanna Homes has appointed a team of house-building professionals to senior positions but retains family shareholders and a strong family business ethos, through the adoption of ‘The Cavanna Way’ – a statement of the company’s values, aims and objectives.

Central to those values is Cavanna Homes’ commitment to building high quality, beautiful and practical properties for first time buyers, families and downsizers in locations across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset, including affordable homes and homes for rent through housing associations and other providers.

Cavanna Homes properties match, not just the aspirations of buyers, but enhance communities, delivering for all. Cavanna Homes strives to be a company whose employees, shareholders, customers, business partners and the communities where they build can be proud of; a company that is successful, safe and customer focused, producing quality products and remaining socially engaged.

We are confident that we can say to landowners, planners and the communities in which we build, that we will always do what we promise.
