“DB interiors recently completed 3500sqm of landlord and tenant works over 4 full floors in one of the commercial buildings that Barfoot manage. Db completed the project within timeframe and within budget being very professional and efficient. They were involved with the total demolition of the site, complete base build and full fit out for the tenant. Kenneth and Clinton from Db were always in communication and proactive to ensure the project went smoothly from start to finish of the project I would highly recommend Kenneth and Db Interiors for any projects and we will be definitely using them in the future for any projects we have upcoming.”

“The team at Oyster have worked with db Interiors on numerous projects within the wider portfolio. Within the Millennium Centre they have completed landlord and or tenant works for Veolia, Intercity, Hantec, Streamland Honey and IMPAC. Their process enables projects to be completed quickly from concept to completion, while maintaining a high level of quality in the finished product. While they are a design led project management firm, they realise that fit outs have to be on budget for it to work for the tenant and ultimately for a lease to proceed. The Speed and efficiency of the team allow all information to be provided to assist our tenants in making important decisions e.g. do they fit, timing of the fitout component, costings and affordability. We appreciate them helping and advising our tenants on the fit out manuals which are required to meet our best practices and insurances. Through the initial process they liaise well between tenant and landlord in view of a achieving a successful outcome and helping the project hit all of its objectives.When any issues/concerns arise throughout a project, the team have been approachable and happy to discuss face to face which has assisted in arriving at the best outcome for all parties. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending db Interiors as a great partner for any project from small to large. Their attention to detail, clarity of scope and design, coupled with strong project management has led to great outcomes within our assets.”

The directors of Ray White consulted with DB Interiors right from the concept stage in order to get our fantastic new office space here at 131 Port Road.
DB Interiors played a crucial role in managing the look and feel design from the start.
DB Interiors were proactive in their approach while running out progressive budgeting after key design revisions.They listened to our needs and while keeping the space functional and clean, they maximised the floor space to get the best return on investment for us. In turn the space we have ended with achieved above all expectations in terms of timing, budget and the look and feel.
We would highly recommend engaging DB Interiors right from the start to establish exactly what you need, help finalise the brief, get clear understanding of the deliverables right at the beginning of the project while setting clear expectations to clearly define your needs and be assured it is a successful project.
The delivery was a smooth transition and while it seemed as though it would be a push to meet move-in day we did, and overall it was a very successful project.
For any company looking to relocate or refit, we would only recommend DB Interiors as they have proven over the years their consistency of design and delivery.

DB Interiors has managed fit out works for AMP Capital on a building in Auckland. The process through original concept, design, pricing and eventual project management was handled very professionally and having all those services under the DB banner made the process very smooth and easy to navigate. They have a strong team with well experienced individuals that can deliver requirements across the board and also have enough support to manage any situations that may arise.

“DB Interiors have been instrumental in assisting with the leasing of a tricky vacancy in my property at 5 High St.
The character tenancy was empty and did not have a meeting room. DB did some render showing indicative layout options, and provided these very quickly and cost effectively. I could then share these with the agents and shortly thereafter we got the tenancy leased.
DB then carried out the small amount of works that the tenant required in a professional manner.

Whilst this was a small job for them in terms of both renders and works, it added a lot of value to the leasing process and therefore to the owners.”

“From conception to completion DB interiors delivered an inspirational yet highly functional office design on time and within budget. They took care of everything from the onset and keep us informed every step of the way. The design team really listened to what we were wanting and came up with a fantastic concept. It was great having a dedicated project manager who oversaw the installation and feature lighting. He was very approachable and happy to answer any queries we had. We chose DB interiors not only because of their solid reputation but because they have been around for 50 years and are local. Any visitors coming into our new office space compliment us on having a fresh modern innovated environment which reflects our company values. I would strongly recommend DB Interiors to anyone needing direction and support in pulling their ideas together into a reality.”

“We entered into an RFP for the refit and extension of our office. DB Interiors provided a proposed design and a quote that was very competitive and within our expectations. They planned out the project in some detail and managed the project over one of our busiest times of the year, while still enabling us to utilise the remaining office space and facilities. We had a dedicated and very accommodating project and site manager which made the management of the project through on central point much more pragmatic and effective. Like any project, once you start there is always things you want to vary and these contract variations were dealt with in a very constructive manner with transparent and fair pricing. In addition the loose ends to wrap-up the project were also followed up, even when some were probably outside the project scope or late variation requests. Overall we were very pleased with the work undertaken by DB interiors. Our team love the new office environment and visitors to our office appreciate the new facilities and fresh look.”

“Eve’s Engaged db Interiors towards the end of last year after working with them on a number of previous successful projects. We tested the market and found them to be competitive in terms of what we were requiring. The team were excellent in the process of council consenting and managing other tenants through this process. We the discussed the target delivery to be pre-Christmas which was achieved with practical completion and CPU from council.There were some hiccups from Council, not of the making of db Interiors in any way, but the db team dealt with them without hassle or fuss and got the job done in time. They helped to refine the design and value engineer finishes to maintain our desired look and feel, and manage the project easily from a budget management point of view. The teams technical knowledge meant we had no concerns with the external building entry/change and all compliance was handled smoothly. The way they handled the landlord works in conjunction with our works was brilliant. They made sure the timeline wasn’t affected in anyway and worked through the breakdown in costings so we could clearly articulate this to the landlord. The communication from start to finish was great and Jared worked really well with the team to make sure the small number of defects were dealt with accordingly. The team at db did a very good job and it has been a very successful partnership for all parties. In essence I would highly recommend db Interiors for any future works.”

“We retained your firm again as we enjoyed working with you when you completed our prior office fit out nine years ago – that fit out proved to be very functional and effective for the full nine years and it is still in excellent condition after intensive use. There is always some trepidation when a new office fit out is commissioned as to whether or not is will ‘work’. We utilised your design and layout process because the previous fit out had been so successful and accepted your recommendations for equipment, layout, colour coordination and office functionality. The Pure workstation configuration is practical, functional and aesthetically pleasing. The results speaks for itself – our team members are all readily enjoying the new environment. We have received many compliments from clients as to layout and colour coordination and this has greatly eased the transition to a new location.”
