We've been in business for almost 60 years. Our initial focus was commercial and residential construction before establishing an office and shop interior division in the early 1990s. All of this served as an 'apprenticeship' for what we are today.
“Without a doubt, Studio DB provided us the best advice to drive ROI for the taxpayer, including the potential to scale up and down if needed. They stand head and shoulders above the rest and that is due to their processes and how they integrate into you as a client. They give transparency to the trade evaluation allowing you to collaborate with the trade rating matrix and summary, updated pricing across the whole design life cycle and never compromise on quality of outcome.”
“Studio DB’s pragmatic, logical and non-confrontational approach promoted progressive, engaged discussions with the landlord. The outcome was a significant upgrade to funding for the base-build works and a really positive result for our client, the tenant. A partner that can be trusted to deliver quick, accurate and commercially useful advice, firmly on the side of the paying client.”
“Studio DB was a trusted partner throughout our relocation journey, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge that was invaluable in guiding us through key decisions, de-risking the process and ultimately helping us achieve a 20% reduction in operating costs.”
“They provided the right information and data, allowing us to downsize and stay put while still presenting options to relocate. We wouldn’t have arrived at a considered decision, or known what was best for the business, without Studio DB.”
“Looking back, we’re thankful to have had a partner driven totally by our interests. Studio DB helped us save unnecessary cost around compliance and specification, insisted the landlord met the base-build specification, and managed the relationship between us and the landlord while delivering a quality that increased our return on investment.”
“We were particularly impressed by the team’s ability to translate our objectives into an innovative floor plate over two floors, designed to allow one business unit to inhabit the building as their own while enabling flex and collaboration across the group."
“Reviewing our workspace and future needs had been part of our planning for over five years, but was hampered by not having the right information to make informed decisions. The first phase with Studio DB created an incredible framework for us to keep pushing forward.”
“Post-relocation, we realise how integral a successful delivery is — face-to-face interaction across our organisation is at record levels, and we now see what we were missing out on. The way Studio DB navigated all our concerns was world class, and the proof is in the utilisation of the space and our staff engagement.”
"Partnering with Studio DB early meant we could involve the right expertise from the outset, take the time to collect good data and develop a clear strategy for our workplace. Their approach gave us confidence in the decisions we were making, while investing in Change Management helped bring our staff on the journey. Having now moved into the new workplace, we can see the benefits of that planning and preparation in how the space works for our people and our business."
“Studio DB went beyond the workplace design to help us make informed decisions about the investment. Their expertise across strategy, design, property and delivery, combined with progressive budgeting, gave us the information we needed to understand the project commercially and negotiate the sale price. They took ownership of the journey, listened to our needs and aligned the brief, strategy and design to deliver the right outcome for our organisation.”
