We still know how to use splines, and sharp pencils and the designs produced today are a blend of CAD and manually drafted drawings using the most efficient drafting methods for each task. Design Process - For further information, please call. The following are available samples of recent custom designs. Click on the links to view the samples. It is a common misconception that building a custom boat is synonymous with run-away cost and high fees.
Nothing is further from the truth if the design is well prepared and managed.
When comparing fees for professional services the hourly rate charged is irrelevant. What is relevant is the quality of the services provided and the total fee charged for these services. As with all professional services it is important to evaluate and compare services rendered and our approach to custom design as well as the quality of our design work makes the design fees we charge an outstanding value. Since our fixed design fee is a function of the vessel's size and complexity, neither of which are known before completion of the preliminary design, our approach is to, up front, quote a range, based on the initial design brief, within which the total design fee will fall. The total design fee is quoted once the preliminary design has been completed and the project is well defined, and this quote remains fixed insofar as the design parameters the fee is based on, remains unchanged.
