At DBSJ, design is central to our integrated fit‑out and refurbishment offering, whether that’s interior design, architectural detailing or bespoke joinery and furniture. Our experienced team of concept designers, 3D visualisers, space planners and technical experts work seamlessly with clients, or their appointed designers, to interpret and develop ideas into fully buildable, statutory-compliant schemes.
If you’re looking for end-to-end concept design, our sister company, Design I.D., offers over 20 years of experience in creating distinctive hospitality and retail spaces. Based in our Faversham design studio, the Design I.D. team specialise in full-service interior design, from initial concept to handover for pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, workspaces and schools.
Or if you have a preferred concept designer on board, DBSJ is your design & build partner. With design, fit-out and joinery manufacturing all under one roof, we offer a streamlined transition from concept to construction — ensuring detail, quality and momentum are never lost. This integrated approach reduces risk, shortens timelines, and ensures your brand vision is delivered with accuracy and consistency.
Whether you’re evaluating a new location, maximising occupancy or covers, or a franchisor needing consistent, compliant rollout packs across multiple sites, we can help. From initial layouts to fully detailed manufacturing drawings, our team supports your project with clarity, speed and technical precision.
With deep knowledge of building regulations and leading software, including SketchUp, Enscape, SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Matterport, we remove ambiguity and accelerate decision-making.
