The Association of Jersey Architects
Why Use an Architect?
If you are planning to embark on a building project - whatever its size - then it makes sense to consult a professional. An architect will guide you through the building process, will share your concerns and will help you to translate your vision into reality. To any building project, no matter how small, he or she will bring three essential qualities: imagination, value for money and freedom from worry.
Removing the mystery
There is a misplaced sense of mystique about what architects do - a fear, even, that they will impose their own tastes at the expense of your own. Nothing could be further from the truth. Step by step, by consultation and agreement, your architect will lead you through the entire process from the first germ of an idea to the finished building.
How much does it cost?
You can select all or part of an architect's service. If you want only an hour's general advice then that is all you will pay for. If you need just the detailed drawings, or want the scheme to be guided to the planning permission stage and no further, then that is fine too.
Why Use a Local Architect?
The benefits of using a member of the Association of Jersey Architects is that we are all on your doorstep and approachable.
It is the shared ambition of the Association of Jersey Architects to support the Planning Minister’s vision of improving the quality of design in Jersey- “Better Design- Better Buildings”.
Local architects understand what high quality design means, and more importantly, what it means in the particular context of Jersey.
This unique blend of off-Island professional training and on-Island experience puts Jersey Architects in an unique position to deliver the very best architectural services.
