Stage payments against surveyed progress
Not against dates in a contract. An owner's surveyor signs that the stage exists before the money moves, which protects the owner and, when a yard is honest, protects the yard too.
Semi-custom aluminium yard · Vlissingen, four hulls a year
A yard that promises eight and delivers four has simply moved the disappointment to the end. Ours is a hall, a workforce and a build sequence that adds up to four, and the fifth owner is told to wait rather than sold a date we cannot keep.
What we build
Nothing matches that search. to see everything.
How we build
Not against dates in a contract. An owner's surveyor signs that the stage exists before the money moves, which protects the owner and, when a yard is honest, protects the yard too.
No appointment, no escort, no areas of the hall that are being painted this week. A yard that manages access to a build is managing what you are allowed to see.
Subcontracted hulls arrive with somebody else's tolerances and somebody else's certificates, and the fairing bill hides the difference. Ours are welded in this hall by people on our payroll.
Eleven weeks of it, shown on the programme. Every build uses some. A programme with none is not a faster build, it is the same build with the bad news held back until month twenty.
“I asked to bring my own surveyor in unannounced and three yards found reasons why that was difficult. This one gave him a hard hat and told him where the coffee was. Two years later there was nothing behind a panel that surprised either of us.”
