DDG STORY / APPROACH

OUR APPROACH Duplantis Design Group delivers high-quality multidisciplinary services across many different industries and environments by focusing on four cornerstone attributes:

OUR STORY Duplantis Design Group (DDG) was founded in 1997 by David Duplantis. Beginning as a small, local civil engineering firm, David believed that exceeding every client’s expectations was the only way to realize long-term success. This philosophy—and a fierce, companywide commitment to following it—grew DDG into a multidisciplinary regional firm that offers civil engineering, architectural and land surveying services from four company locations. Land surveying services were added in 1999 via a sister company, Acadia Land Surveying LLC, which currently works with private and public clients in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. Our architectural group came on board in 2000 and provides services to varied clients in more than 30 states. The DDG corporate office is located in Thibodaux, Louisiana, with branch offices in Covington and Baton Rouge, Louisiana as well as Houston, Texas.

PEOPLE \\

TECHNOLOGY \\

DDG men and women are a breed apart: intense and energetic; flexible, with a constant eye toward progress; honest and hard-working. Because we demand the best, we hire smart, skilled people, and we continually invest in their professional and personal development.

A continuous, company-wide investment in technology enables us to run efficient, seamless projects that save time and money for our clients. From construction drawings and materials selection to public presentations, we utilize technology to its greatest benefit daily.

SERVICE \\

COMMUNITY \\

No matter the project location or scope, our number one goal—as individuals and as a team—is to exceed customer expectations.

We do so by employing a wealth of human and technological resources that make our project processes and customer communications effective and efficient.

Wherever DDG people live or work, we consider it our obligation to improve communities and help those in need. From local volunteerism and fundraising to supporting national charitable causes, we know that taking personal action is the only real way to make a difference.

By understanding our strengths and delivering on our promises, DDG has established a proven track record of success. Guided by a bold vision for the future, we offer the flexibility, enthusiasm and diversity to bring outstanding results to each of our clients.

DDG is fully equipped to provide high-quality, end-to-end civil engineering, architecture and land surveying services across much of the United States.
