“A few years ago, I had a New York City architect work with me to redesign Zelo, my downtown Minneapolis restaurant - then Ciao Bella, my suburban restaurant. Both of these high-volume restaurants have been in business for 20 years and needed an update. BGD worked with me and my architect to bring our inspirations to life and manufacture high-quality furniture at a reasonable price. BGD has been a trusted colleague from design, thru production, installation, and service. I would highly recommend BGD.”

THE BGD PROCESS
LISTEN & UNDERSTAND
BGD Companies and its representatives will meet with you early and often. We will understand your concept and help you develop a feasible plan for your furnishings.
COLLABORATE ON A CREATIVE FURNISHINGS PLAN
Initial space planning is a collaborative process. Everyone has a say –architects, general contractors, landlords, whoever has a stake has a say. BGD Companies and its representatives are with you every step of the way.
PREPARE A BUDGET
It does no one any good to design a furniture package that isn’t affordable. We talk through the processes of real value-engineering to determine a smart spending AND saving plan. Filling a space with cheap, poorly designed furnishings rarely works once doors are open and you are trying to attract a customer base.
FINALIZE PROJECT DETAILS & FIELD MEASURE
All details related to furniture style, wood finishes, upholstery materials, and dimensions are finalized. BGD Companies often performs its own field measures, ensuring that when we arrive to install, there will be a place for everything, and everything will fit in its place.
CREATE PRODUCT DRAWINGS
We create custom products that are unique and distinctive so we create industry-leading shop drawings before manufacturing ever begins. You’ll have details of every dimension, every fabric, every tuft or channel, and every wood finish. Surprises are for birthdays, not for furnishings.
PROJECT MANAGE & MANUFACTURE
Our project management and manufacturing teams have decades of experience. Projects can be complicated and involve several players from designers and dealers to freight companies and installers. We deal with the details, so you don’t have to.
DELIVER & INSTALL
BGD Companies products are preassembled in our plant before shipment ensuring form, fit, and finish meets all expectations. Most often, products arrive blanket-wrapped in dedicated trailers and we install many of our products.
CELEBRATE
As a project moves from installation to opening and operation, we are still around dealing with any final details or punch list items. After all, we are hoping for an invitation to the grand opening.
