Our story

A design-and-build studio that takes interiors end-to-end, under one roof.

Advanced Design & Maintenance was founded in Johannesburg in 2015 as a studio working across design, construction and maintenance, for commercial and residential clients alike.

Most interiors are assembled from separate contracts. A designer draws the scheme, an architect resolves it, a contractor builds it, a joiner fits it out, and a different firm returns when something needs attention. Each handover is a point where detail is lost and accountability blurs.

We bring everything together under one umbrella, from concept and 3D design, architecture and engineering, through to construction, finishes and ongoing maintenance. One integrated team, from first drawing to long-term care, delivers every space to the highest standard and keeps it looking its best long after completion.

From shell to open for business.

Our work spans commercial and residential projects — offices and business premises, shopfits and storefronts, expo stands — alongside home renovations, additions and new builds. On every one of them the same team runs the programme from survey to sign-off.

That means one point of contact, one programme, and one team answerable for the result — from the bare shell to the day you open, and through the years of upkeep that follow.

What we stand for

Integrity, attention to detail, quality, communication and care guide every project we take on.

Core Values
An open-plan room fitted out with a fluted timber island and track lightingWe are transparent about costs, timelines and expectations before work begins, and we stay accountable and accessible throughout the project and beyond handover. Great spaces come from honest communication and a genuine understanding of what a client needs. Every project is a chance to build something exceptional and a lasting relationship founded on trust.
Vision
A lounge with a brown leather sofa against a wave-patterned mural wallOur vision is to transform everyday spaces into extraordinary environments, redefining what is possible through thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. We create spaces that reflect each client’s personality, needs and vision. That begins with listening, because no two briefs are the same, and every finished space should feel authentically its own.
Mission
A compact kitchen, newly finished, with a glazed door through to the next roomOur mission is to transform spaces of every size into remarkable environments that inspire pride and stand the test of time. We combine our clients’ individual visions with our creativity, expertise and experience, and bring them to life with precision, care and passion. A single room, a renovation or a full build gets the same planning, management and craftsmanship.

Who we build for

Estate agencies, property groups, businesses and private clients.

Our clients range from national estate agencies and independent property developers to businesses, organisations and private clients. Whatever the size of the project, the same team handles the design, construction and maintenance.

Services

Design, construction and maintenance — delivered across two markets, commercial and residential.

Commercial

From office refurbishments and space upgrades to shopfits, storefronts and expo stands, we handle commercial design, engineering and construction as one project.
