Originating from Waterford City, today CJFA employs over thirty talented, qualified, and international, Architects, Technologists and Designers, with generations of experience - operating locally, nationally, and internationally with the addition of offices in Dublin - working in all sectors, and all project types, for both Public and Private clients. Architecture + ‘As a design, technical, and innovation-led Practice, CJFA is adept in providing services in-addition to core Architectural services; lending itself to a culture of ‘Architecture +’. Part of this ethos, is CJFA’s commitment to the research, implementation, and innovation of developing design technologies, and 3D-visualisations. The CJFA Modelshop integrates the use of laser-cutting, 3D-printing technology, point-cloud, and drone-technology into the architectural design process – allowing rapid-prototyping of building models, completed in combination with 3D-visualisations; helping to realise and access projects, from conception to completion. Design-aiding technologies such as these are integral to our creative process; facilitating 3D models, and 3D-visualisations. CJFA are a leading Irish Practice in the implementation of BIM design – adopting a practice-wide integration in 2013; and currently one of the only firms in the country delivering to BIM Level 2 compliance (the currently recognised highest BIM milestone, and a growing requirement for projects internationally). From a Client’s perspective, the use of BIM offers key early visualisation through a virtual model of a building-design - reducing risk, providing cost-certainty, thereby assisting in stakeholder consultation, and insuring that the resultant built product, reflects the client’s expectations’.
