Project Management

Whether you're a boat buyer or builder, we provide naval architecture services from planning to building, outfitting and delivery.

With a broad range of experience in the design, construction and re-fitting of marine vessels – from sport or pleasure to workboats and pilot boats - we also offer engineering expertise to ensure your boat is designed and constructed to your specification.

Our bespoke project management packages ensure your vessel is built to the highest quality, in line with specification and class requirements within the agreed time and budget.

We offer insight and oversight at key build milestones, as well as the complete management of your vessel build which can include both structural and outfitting calculations.

Why do I need a Project Manager?

All vessels involve a significant amount of work to ensure they are built or refitted to a high standard, within the agreed delivery time and budget, whether you're looking to produce a vessel that's ready to enjoy yourself or charter for your client's enjoyment.

Acting as your primary contact, we coordinate with the design, procurement and build team, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure your vessel is in line with classification requirements and your specification.

Project Areas

‍We can support you in several ways, including:

  • New build
  • Composite, aluminium and steel vessels
  • Structural modifications
  • Refit and conversion

Key Phase Management

We carefully consider our project management packages in line with the vessel build plans and your expectations. In some cases we support and oversee key aspects of the build, such as:

  • Lamination (wet and vacuum processes - composite)
  • Structural and hull to deck bonding (composite)
  • Fabrication and assembly (steel and aluminium)
  • 1st fix outfitting and glazing installation
  • Systems installation
  • Commissioning

End to End Management

In other cases we provide support in the complete project management of your vessel for new build and refit.

From concept, operational requirements and specification formulation, through the engineering package, material supply and build, into commissioning and handover.

Structural and Outfitting Calculations and Engineering Package

From structures to fire protection, glazing calculations to production packages and everything in between, we'll use our expertise and experience to help you create the best result for your vessel.

Our structures and outfitting packages are developed under the necessary rules and regulations for your craft and verified to secure optimal manufacturing quality and efficiency.

With our knowledge of the design and production process, we can oversee the entire build to ensure your initial intentions are brought to life, to the highest quality within the agreed time and budget.
