Beyond ideas, strategies, and skillful execution, there is an ‘X’ factor that defines a great interior design brand. Design Build Laboratory (DBL) understands that this X factor is the customer ‘EXPERIENCE’ factor, and delivers it with intact quality in solutions. By integrating innovative processes and a client-centric approach, the company ensures that every project is elevated to a work of art that aligns with the client’s vision and comfort.

DBL is a full-service firm revolutionizing the design and construction landscape by seamlessly integrating architecture, engineering, interior design, and construction into a single, cohesive process. Operating as a design-build firm, DBL takes charge of every aspect of a project, from initial concepts to final execution, ensuring hassle-free experience for clients, and delivering quality results on time and within budget.

The Inception

Founded by Niki Shah, an architect with global experience, and Hemant Kamdar, an engineer and interior designer with over three decades of expertise, the company was born out of a shared frustration with the inefficiencies in the design and construction process. Projects often veered off budget and timelines due to miscommunication and a lack of a structured approach. DBL was conceived as a solution, a laboratory where design and execution converge seamlessly. The co-founders say, “Our greatest strength lies in our well-defined process.

This structured approach ensures every project is meticulously planned and executed, focusing on delivering functional designs on time and within budget. By identifying client goals, monitoring progress, and adapting to changes, we maintain efficiency and prioritize customer satisfaction throughout every stage of the design and build journey”.

The studio, aptly termed a ‘laboratory’, embodies experimentation and collaboration. Here, clients are not just spectators but active participants in shaping the projects.

Every idea, material, and process is discussed, analyzed, and refined within these walls, ensuring that the outcome is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally superior.

DBL is built on core values of integrity, commitment, and respect for clients, team members, and the labour force alike. Its vision is to become a brand synonymous with exceptional value and an unforgettable customer experience.
