We have 70 components on our design system kitset checklist and 53 items on our kitset extrusions checklist. For every vessel that we produce in kitset form, we cross check all components to ensure that you have a comprehensive package.
Where available we also supply a CD of photos of the same or similar hull from start to finish so that you have your ‘virtual builder’ at your side during construction.
Please note that we supply a materials list for all items in the package, complete with our designer’s material take-off. To note, on average, we supply 20% more than is required from our extrusion take-offs.
For in excess of five years, since introducing this system, we have not had a single claim for extra material.
