ABOUT US

Jackson Architects Ltd was founded by Jason Jackson in 1992. Since then, we’ve built a reputation across the South West for delivering a friendly, personal service without compromising on professionalism.

We believe that working with an architect should be straightforward, cost-effective, and ultimately rewarding. Our role is simple: to bring your vision to life, not to impose our own. Our portfolio reflects the diversity of our work and the individuality of our clients.

No two projects are the same and that’s exactly how it should be.

We specialise in new homes, domestic extensions, listed buildings, barn conversions, green oak frames, and swimming pools. Whether your preference is rooted in traditional materials and craftsmanship or clean, contemporary design, we combine technical expertise with a deep appreciation for natural materials and refined detail to deliver spaces that truly work for you.

The culmination of an architect’s skill is understanding and interpreting your needs creatively and imaginatively yet in an eminently practical way. We must work with you to develop your initial ideas into a functional design and then convey these design requirements accurately and concisely to the builder. Although design and construction drawings are very different, they require a thorough understanding at all levels to ensure that the design ideas are not diluted during the process.

We are very proud of the quality of our construction drawings and the level of cost and quality control this gives on-site. Good drawings are the foundation blocks of a good project. Dont accept anything less. Projects based upon sub-standard detailed drawings will inevitably disappoint.

Jackson Architects understand that most of our clients have never used an architect before and have very little idea of how much it will cost. Our first consultation is always free, following which we will quote fixed lump sum fees and give realistic build budgets so that the costs of the project are clear and understandable from the outset.

We do not quote fees based upon a percentage of the build cost because of the inherent conflict of interest if Architect’s fees escalate as the agreed budget is exceeded. We are so confident in our ability that we will only charge the agreed fixed fee once the design has your absolute approval.

Contract Administration and detailed design is pointless if the detail conveyed by the drawings is ignored once work begins. Not surprisingly we prefer to see the project through to completion with thorough project management service to ensure that tight quality and financial control are maintained.

Whatever the size of project our practical sound technical expertise and understanding of the building process is second to none. Couple this with strong contract management and you have a recipe for a successful project from inception to completion.
