Feasibility

Our feasibility studies are tailored to meet our client’s needs. They can range from a relatively simple assessment exploring the potential of a single dwelling, to a complex review of a large site and its uses.

Planning

jbA have experience obtaining planning permission for a diverse range of residential and commercial projects. We liaise closely with all statutory authorities to ensure all necessary permissions are obtained as quickly as possible

Building Regulations

Once planning permission has been obtained, most projects will require Building Regulation approval before the work can be carried out. Here at jbA we are always free to discuss your project and offer technical advice.

Site Supervision

jbA offer to take your project beyond the design phase, and to supervise the building work on site. This helps to ensure that your development is built on time, to budget and to the highest standard.

3D Printing

jbA is now pioneering the use of 3D printing throughout its design process. Using cutting edge 3D printing technology, we can create detailed 3D printed models made from PLA plastic. The models are created on the latest AirWolf 3D printer that enables us to print scaled models of buildings and internal rooms.

3D Visualisation

At jbA we use 3D visualisations throughout the design process. Every project benefits from the creation of detailed 3D visualisations at some point in the design process whether it be initial planning shell models or photo realistic internal images.
