Commercial Design Consulting

Design the experience.
Control the outcome.

COREFINISH GROUP leads the space between a commercial design concept and the finished environment—aligning brand, function, materials, millwork, procurement, budget, vendors, and field execution.

What We Are

More than selections.
More than millwork.

Commercial interiors succeed when the brand experience, operational requirements, technical information, purchasing decisions, and construction realities are managed as one system.

We work as the owner’s commercial interior design consultant and execution partner. Architects and licensed engineering consultants remain responsible for required professional services, code analysis, and sealed documents; COREFINISH controls the interior package and the decisions connecting it.

Our Creative Perspective

Light. Rhythm.
Landscape. Material.

Rodney Marullo’s background in photography, music, landscape, and construction gives COREFINISH a distinct way of seeing commercial space—creative enough to establish identity and disciplined enough to carry it through delivery.

Design & Delivery Scope

01

Vision & Programming

We define how the space must look, feel, perform, and support the people, brand, and operations inside it.

02

Space-Planning Coordination

We help organize adjacencies, circulation, functional zones, furniture relationships, and operational priorities with the project architect.

03

Materials & Finish Direction

We establish a disciplined material language across flooring, walls, ceilings, millwork, metals, glass, stone, solid surface, textiles, and specialty finishes.

04

Millwork & Casework Design

We develop the visual and functional intent for reception desks, bars, built-ins, feature walls, casework, banquettes, storage, and architectural elements.

05

Lighting & Systems Coordination

We coordinate decorative and integrated lighting intent with power, controls, millwork, ceiling conditions, equipment, and service access.

06

Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment

We guide FF&E selection, specification, vendor coordination, purchasing strategy, lead times, delivery, and placement.

07

Brand & Environmental Integration

We connect the organization’s identity to materials, focal points, signage, wayfinding, display, and the complete client experience.

08

Procurement & Vendor Control

We qualify sources, level bids, clarify scope, manage approvals, track commitments, and protect the schedule from fragmented purchasing.

09

Construction-Phase Design Management

We review submittals, samples, substitutions, field conditions, mockups, installation quality, punch-list items, and design-impacting decisions.

10

Selective Execution Services

When direct delivery is the right solution, CORE may price or manage defined cabinetry, millwork, solid-surface, wall-system, and specialty-finish packages. Consulting leads the relationship; execution supports it when appropriate.

Ways to Engage

Bring us in where
control matters most.

01

Advisory Review

A focused assessment of the concept, drawings, scope, budget, risks, and next decisions. Best before pricing or when a project needs an independent second set of eyes.

02

Design Management

Ongoing leadership connecting the owner, architect, consultants, vendors, fabricators, and contractor while protecting the approved design direction.

03

Full Interior Package

Commercial design consulting, documentation coordination, procurement leadership, construction-phase review, installation oversight, and closeout under one controlled engagement.

What the Client Receives

Design decisions made
visible and accountable.

Every engagement is documented so the owner can see what has been decided, what remains open, who is responsible, and what could affect cost, schedule, or design intent.
