About

Background

JA Architecture is a residential architectural practice based in central London and seeks to provide appropriate architectural solutions specifically tailored to the requirements of the client brief and to the context of the site and surroundings. Each project, whether modern or part of the continuation of an established style, arises from close consultation with the client.

The practice takes commissions for sizes of building projects both in and around London. We also undertake work further afield, having completed projects in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Brighton and East Anglia.

JA Architecture was founded in June 1999 by John Allen, BA (Hons)Arch. DipArch.Prac. (University of Nottingham); a registered architect for over fifteen years. The nature of work undertaken by the practice arose from personal experience in private and public housing, medical buildings and also from working in Australia.

Services

A typical architectural service includes:

- Free initial consultation with follow up letter quoting architectural fees

- Site survey, feasibility study and conceptual design

- Planning & Building Control submissions

- Builders construction drawings

- Project management on site

- Client liaison throughout all stages of work

Having forged links with structural engineers, party wall surveyors and other consultants, together with a range of proven building contractors, JA Architecture can bring together a robust team who can work together to execute a successful project.

Fees

For smaller projects, fees for architectural drawings are quoted on a fixed lump sum basis. For overseeing of construction work on site, the fee is calculated as a percentage of the building cost. All fees are in line with current RIBA guidelines.
