Testimonials

Amy C, Private homeowner

“Jai and his team were fantastic to work with on our house renovation – a new loft and ground floor extension and complete floor plan redesign. We are delighted by the end result and would love to work with Jai again soon.”

Patrick Leonard, Private Homeowner

“JAIA acted as architect and project manager for my loft conversion project in Fulham. Throughout the process I found Jai to be unfailing in his professionalism and conscientiousness, clear in communication and ready to go the extra mile to help. I would have no hestitation in recommending JAIA’s services.”

Alan Rodney, Seventh-day Adventist Church

“JAIA is one of the best Architectural Services in London. Their ability to truly understands the needs of their customers is only matched by their ability to come up with innovative solutions to any given situation. They provide expert and friendly guidance through the minefield that planning can become and ensure that the best outcome is achieved. Jaia will always be my first choice as an Architect and I cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Dave Roissetter, Pastor at HGBC

“JAIA Architects did a great job on the re-development of our church building’s side entrance and office making them welcoming, attractive, and contemporary whilst being sensitive to the original design of the building. JAIA Architects clearly understood our needs and requirements and designed the ideal solution. They also worked very effectively as project managers for the project which was completed on time and within budget. We would not hesitate to work with them again on future projects.”

Paul Wang

“JAIA was the architect for the refurbishment and redesign project at Haven Green Baptist Church in 2020. Jai provided a great professional service, including advising on several design options, budget, timings, contract, suppliers and contractors. We were kept well informed of progress and additional information during the work and were very happy with the finished product which the church is now benefiting from. Happy to recommend their services!”

Danny O’keefe, Evolve Estates

“We often purchase a somewhat “difficult” site that has loads of potential. This nature of site require a creative architect who would look out for our best financial interests & be determined to get the best result for us. JAIA worked hard to achieve amazing results for us through various residential and mixed-use projects. JAIA helped us to gain planning approvals that have many constraints and deliver high quality construction package as well. We highly recommend JAIA architects and are happy for any potential developers to ring us for a personal recommendation.”

Nicholas Allen, Director at Copperwood Developments

“Jai is a very hands on architect who takes a very personal interest in the schemes we have and is especially good at providing a rapid response to the tight deadlines we often have to meet. Being a comparatively small residential property developer it is vital for us to present our schemes in the best possible way as we are often pitching our proposals against much larger and longer established house builders. Jai’s superb presentation gives us the ability to punch above our weight and compete in this very competitive environment.”

Sharon Scott, Director at indigoScott Group

“We have worked with JAIA on both planning and construction schemes, have always found them to be highly professional, responsive and accurate in their work. They are especially adept at listening and unfailingly respond creatively to their client’s requirements. Our contractors frequently comment on the especially high quality of the drawings produced by JAIA. We are looking forward to working with them on further projects.”
