Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need planning permission for my project?

It depends on the type and scale of work. Some projects fall under permitted development, while others require full planning permission. We’ll assess this during our initial review and guide you through the process.

2. How much does it cost to work with JNG Architectural Studio?

Our pricing varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. After reviewing your form and project details, we’ll provide a tailored proposal outlining our fees and stages of work.

3. What areas do you cover?

We’re based in the UK but work on projects across various locations, including selected international projects like our recent work in Ghana. Get in touch to see if we can assist in your area.

4. How long does the design and planning process take?

Timeframes vary depending on your project type, but generally:

Concept design: 1 week

Planning submission: 8–10 weeks (including council review)

Technical drawings: 2–3 weeks
We’ll provide a timeline tailored to your specific project.

5. Do you offer 3D designs or visualisations?

Yes! All our projects are developed in 3D so you can fully visualise your space before anything is built. This helps you feel confident in every design decision.

6. Can you help with building regulations and construction drawings?

Absolutely. We offer a full architectural service, including detailed technical drawings for building regulations and construction stages.

7. Do you manage the entire project or just the design?

We can support you through all key stages—from concept to planning to technical design. While we don’t manage the construction directly, we can recommend trusted contractors and liaise with them during the build.

8. I don’t know where to start—can I still reach out?

Yes! That’s what we’re here for. Even if you’re just exploring ideas, we can help guide you through your options and next steps.
