Background
Duplantis Design Group, PC, is a
professional corporation located at 314 East Bayou Road
in Thibodaux, Louisiana. The firm was established as
Duplantis Engineering, Inc., in 1997 with five employees
as a regional civil engineering firm providing
master-planning, site development, land utilization, and
civil engineering design services throughout the
southeastern United States.
In September 1998, the first registered
architect was employed in order for the firm to offer
architectural services in conjunction with civil
engineering.
In January 1999, as a result of the need
for accurate and dependable land surveying services, a
“sister” company was created by David Duplantis and two
Professional Land Surveyors and called Acadia Land
Surveying, L.L.C.
In November 2002, the name was changed to
Duplantis Design Group, PC, to reflect the
multi-disciplinary status of the company. Our current
clients represent both the public and private sectors
with construction budgets reaching the multi-million
dollar levels, and our firm is one of very few local
multi-disciplinary firms to offer civil engineering,
architecture, and land surveying under the same roof.
In January 2006, Ricky Galloway, Andy
Positerry, and Stephen Viguerie joined David Duplantis
as Principals/Owners in charting the firm’s direction.
Historically, our firm is known for its
close working relationship and high level of
professional service to our clients, as well as our
ability to meet project deadlines. We are fully
committed to a “team” approach between the owner, the
tenants, our consultants, the contractor, and ourselves.
