Our story

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

Advanced Design & Maintenance started in 2015 with a single apartment renovation in Johannesburg. It grew organically from there, one project leading to the next, into a studio of forty people working across design, construction and maintenance.

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 hold all of it in one place: concept and 3D design, architecture and engineering, construction and bespoke joinery, finishes, and the maintenance that keeps a space looking new long after opening.

Bare shell to trading-ready.

Our work spans commercial, retail and hospitality — restaurants, bars, retail fit-outs, offices and exhibition stands — alongside residential renovations, extensions 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 bare shell to trading-ready, and through the years of upkeep that follow.

What we stand for

We are committed to excellence in everything we do, guided by hard work, honesty, and sustainability.

Core Values: Our attention to detail ensures we create spaces that feel like home, fostering genuine connections with our clients. These values inspire us to deliver with purpose and passion, building a legacy of trust and care. In practice that means being straight about cost and programme before anything starts, and still being reachable long after handover.
Vision: Our vision is to transform everyday spaces into extraordinary environments, redefining what is possible. We are committed to creating masterpieces that reflect the unique personality and style of each client. That begins with listening properly — no two briefs resolve the same way, and a finished space should read as the person it was made for.
Mission: Our mission is to transform everyday spaces, regardless of size, into remarkable and unique environments that inspire pride. By blending our clients’ distinct visions with our creativity and expertise, we bring their dreams to life with precision and passion. Scale is not the measure of a project: a single room is drawn, managed, and finished to exactly the standard a full build would be.

Who we build for

Estate agencies, property groups, and the bars and restaurants of Johannesburg.

Our clients range from national estate agency groups to independent property developers, and from restaurant owners to the people behind Johannesburg’s late-night rooms. Most of them come back, and most of the rest arrive because one of them said so.

Services

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

Commercial

Trading spaces, built around the day you have to open.

Commercial work is measured differently. A fit-out is judged on the date it hands over, the inspection it has to pass and the trade it interrupts — so the programme is drawn before the detail is, and the site is run to it. One team from survey to sign-off, working around your hours where the building is still in use.

Exhibition & expo stands: Designed, built and installed to a show deadline, then struck and stored for the next one. Modular where it can be, so the same stand travels for years.
Restaurants & hospitality: Front of house detailed for wear as much as for looks, with the kitchen, extraction and compliance resolved alongside it rather than after the drawings are signed.
Retail & showrooms: Shopfronts, joinery and lighting built to carry a brand and take a season of handling. Rolled out to one specification when there is more than one store.
Offices & workspaces: Partitioning, services and finishes phased so the floors you are still working on stay usable. Handed over cleaned, tested and ready to occupy.

Residential

Homes drawn, built and finished by the same team.

Most of our residential work happens in houses people are still living in. That changes how a site is run: dust and noise are planned for, water and power stay on, and the work is sequenced so the house keeps functioning around it. The same team draws it, builds it and comes back when something needs attention.

Houses & full renovations: Whole-house work from survey and drawings through to the final coat, including the structural and municipal side. One contract rather than a list of trades to chase.
Townhouse complexes: Repeat units taken through as one programme, so the tenth unit is finished to the standard of the first. Common areas, boundaries and services included.
Kitchens & bathrooms: The two rooms where the detailing shows and the services are hardest. Cabinetry made to the millimetre, waterproofing and falls set out before a tile is cut.
Extensions & outdoor living: Adding room without the addition looking added: patios, decks and glazed extensions detailed so the junction between old and new is the part nobody notices.
