Independent oversight across the technical and evidentiary record.
Major-yacht refit work is rarely a single-discipline exercise. Structural work, machinery, electrical systems, coatings, scheduling, change orders and contractor interfaces can all affect the technical outcome and the commercial dispute.
The firm can become involved before work begins, during execution or after deficiencies have emerged. The role may include reviewing scope and specifications, documenting progress, assessing workmanship, examining claimed extras and developing a practical remedial scope.
Where a dispute already exists, the focus shifts to establishing what was contracted, what was actually performed, whether the work is technically acceptable and what is reasonably required to correct the condition.
Typical scope
- Refit specifications, proposals and contract-technical review
- Progress, workmanship and payment verification
- Change-order and claimed-extra technical assessment
- Structural, mechanical, electrical and coating quality control
- Deficiency lists, remedial scopes and completion verification
- Technical support in shipyard and contractor disputes
What the analysis is designed to establish.
- Original scope, specifications and agreed change orders
- Photographic and inspection record of work in progress
- Manufacturer requirements and accepted installation practice
- Interface between individual contractors and vessel systems
- Reasonableness and necessity of proposed remedial work
