FAQs
What type of projects do you specialise in?
We specialise in countryside homes, barn conversions, Class Q developments, replacement dwellings, listed buildings and planning-led rural residential projects.
Can you assess a site before I purchase it?
Yes. An early feasibility appraisal can identify planning constraints, development opportunities and potential risks before you commit to purchasing a site or building.
Can I appoint you for planning only?
Yes. We offer stage-specific appointments as well as a complete architectural service. The most appropriate scope will depend on the project and your intended route following planning approval.
Do you work outside Derbyshire?
Yes. Jervis Architects works on rural and residential projects across the UK, with a particular concentration in Derbyshire, the Midlands and surrounding counties.
