FIRM PROFILE Duffy Design Group is a full service interior design firm, known for its unique and thoughtful designs. The firm offers its expertise and specific vision to residential and commercial clients, consistently partnering with architects, developers and builders. Duffy Design Group designs intuitively, carefully determining the best solution for each client based on the functional and aesthetic goals and the relevant architecture. “Attention to detail and follow through in execution is the result of experience and a hands-on attitude by our staff. To insure that our designs are executed as intended, we work closely with the general contractor and subcontractors, workrooms and cabinetry shops. We walk the project through from inception to the last accessory placement.�
THE PROCESS
Duffy Design Group consults with you to determine the scope of your project, any particular concepts you wish to achieve and any and all functional requirements for the areas to be designed. This analysis allows us to develop a program for your needs, which we shall present to you for approval before proceeding. Utilizing this program, we’ll begin to work out the design concepts. We’ll prepare a visual presentation, in loose format, including floor plans, color schemes, sketches and preliminary selections.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Based on your feedback from our visual presentation, we begin to modify and develop the concept. We shall prepare plans, elevations, color / finish / fabric / material formats and furniture selections in greater detail. We refine sketches, drawings or materials to communicate specific design solutions. We shall also prepare budget estimates for the work to be done.
FINAL DESIGN & PROJECT PLANNING
Once you have approved our development of the design concept and we have determined an overall budget, we will complete finalized plans, schedules, furniture, lighting, finish and fabric selections and all other specifications necessary to implement the project. Should working drawings be required for interior construction and/or millwork, we will provide them as part of this phase. At this stage, we will submit more extensive budgets for your approval.
PURCHASING, SUPERVISION AND INSTALLATION SERVICES Duffy Design Group provides purchasing services for our clients. We will process all necessary purchase orders with our vendors and sources of supply. We track all order acknowledgments, approve cuttings and samples, maintain contact with our manufacturers to speed your orders along, oversee all work in our custom workrooms, and coordinate trucking, shipping and receiving. We supervise delivery and installation of all items ordered through our firm.
