JV Architects is available for new projects

JV Architects is a RIBA Chartered architectural practice based in Folkestone, Kent, providing professional architectural services across Kent and the South East. Established by RIBA Chartered Architect John Verkaik, the practice has built a strong reputation for delivering thoughtful, practical and well-crafted design solutions for homeowners, businesses, schools, churches and community organisations. With more than 25 years of experience in the construction industry, John leads every project with a hands-on approach, ensuring clients receive personal attention from the initial consultation through to completion. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, JV Architects takes the time to understand each client's aspirations, budget and the unique characteristics of every site. This collaborative approach results in buildings that are functional, visually engaging and designed to stand the test of time. The practice has extensive experience across residential, heritage and community projects, including home extensions, renovations, new-build homes, listed buildings, educational facilities, places of worship and community buildings. Whether working on a contemporary family home or a sensitive alteration to a historic property, the same commitment to quality, attention to detail and practical problem-solving is applied throughout every stage of the project. JV Architects provides a complete architectural service, guiding clients through feasibility studies, concept design, planning applications, listed building consent, Building Regulations, tender documentation and contract administration. Close collaboration with planning authorities, consultants, contractors and Building Control helps ensure projects progress efficiently from design through to construction. The practice is known for clear communication, honest advice and a genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for every client. By combining creative design with technical expertise and a thorough understanding of the planning and construction process, JV Architects helps make complex projects straightforward and enjoyable. Whether planning a home extension, restoring a heritage building or delivering a community project, clients can expect a professional, approachable service focused on creating buildings that enhance the way people live, work and connect. Every project is treated with the same care, dedication and attention to detail, regardless of its size or complexity.
