ABOUT US
Together we’ll make a difference, by creating greener places and brighter futures
At James Blake Associates we believe a client-focused, committed, 'hands-on' service is paramount.
Our team is renowned for its commitment, friendliness, helpfulness and strong-team spirit. We are experts in saving clients’ money, time and inconvenience, as well as adding value to projects. Our well-presented strategic thinking, together with our high levels of practical design-expertise, ensures our clients’ strategies are built cost effectively.
We save tens of thousands of pounds for our clients by ‘going green’. For example, on one of our recent sites for a play area, we saved our client £1.8 million. Our mantra is ‘better for less’.
We tailor our services to each client’s requirements, and to each specific site and stage of works. The James Blake Associates team is commercially and politically aware, careful to keep client confidences, and consistently put our client’s goals, aspirations and purposes to the fore.
Our continual investment in people and the latest technology allows us to deliver a comprehensive service throughout the entire development process – from RIBA stages 1 to 7.
