Compliance

Commercial design projects across New Zealand are seeing significant investment, often reflecting a brand's identity and prioritising employee well-being. The trend towards collaborative and flexible workspaces is key for attracting and keeping talent. However, New Zealand's commercial design industry operates within a complex regulatory and legal landscape where meticulous compliance management is crucial. Studio DB actively manages this landscape for our clients, ensuring all projects adhere to the necessary regulations.

When investing in a commercial design project, designing with compliance from the outset is paramount. As an experienced commercial design company, Studio DB expertly navigates the legal complexities, ensuring your project avoids legal pitfalls. This proactive approach helps ensure projects are completed on time and within the agreed budget, addressing aspects from managing building consent applications and specifying compliant fire safety systems to considering load-bearing walls and the compliance schedule mandated by the local council. Before any design work commences, we often conduct a thorough buildable analysis of the existing space.
