About JFA Qube Architectural Practice
JFA Qube Design Architectural Practice came into being through a friendship that developed between Nigel and John when they worked together over 35 years ago in a professional capacity in the Midlands. In 2012 they set up JFA Qube which gave them both flexibility and the opportunity to expand their fields of work both in the Midlands and Devon where they now live in the coastal locations of Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth near Exeter.
As Architects, JFA Qube are uniquely placed to manage the entire development process. We are comfortable operating at all stages from inception and advice on planning and developing projects through the Planning and Building Control process, tender action, contract administration, inspections, completion and advice on maintenance.
