Feasibility Studies

Our tailored feasibility studies are designed to cater to our clients' needs. These range from a simple assessment exploring the potential of a single dwelling to a complex review of a large site and its uses. By evaluating the opportunities and constraints of a project, we provide our clients with the necessary information to make informed decisions and optimise their investments.

Planning Services

jbA Architecture has extensive experience in obtaining planning permission for a diverse range of residential and commercial projects. We work closely with all statutory authorities, ensuring that the necessary permissions are acquired swiftly and efficiently.

Building Regulations

Once planning permission has been achieved, most projects will require Building Regulation approval before construction commences. At jbA Architecture, we are always available to discuss your project and offer technical advice, ensuring a smooth transition from the design phase to construction.

Site Supervision

At jbA Architecture, we strive to take your project beyond the design phase, offering site supervision services. These services ensure that the development is built on schedule, within budget, and to the highest standard, enabling our clients to achieve their vision.

3D Printing

As pioneers in the field of 3D printing, jbA Architecture utilises cutting-edge technology, creating detailed 3D printed models made from PLA plastic. Our models are printed on the latest AirWolf 3D printer, enabling us to produce scaled models of buildings or internal rooms. This technology facilitates the visualisation of projects and enhances communication with our clients.

3D Visualisation

At jbA Architecture, we use 3D visualisations throughout the design process. These visualisations effectively communicate each project's design intent, from initial planning shell models to photo-realistic internal images at critical stages of the design process.
