New Build Design & Build

Getting it right from the start. A great build starts with the outline and then detailed specifications. TenMicron takes you through the entire process of designing, specifying, the proposal, the contract and then the build. Our team have worked with the largest ships in the world and have the knowledge to ensure your vessel is built right and delivered on time.

Complex Services

New Build – from start to delivery, and more

We offer comprehensive services for the technical specifications, construction management and delivery of superyachts and we guide clients through every phase, from initial concept to delivery. This begins with working closely with the owner to understand their vision and lifestyle needs, translating these into bespoke design plans in partnership with naval architects and interior designers. We manage the technical aspects, including selecting shipyards, materials, and equipment, while ensuring the yacht complies with safety and maritime regulations. We can then oversee the construction process, providing quality control, budget management, and adherence to timelines.

Communication is key, and reporting and on-site meets are regular during the building. We look after the standards of build, and are there to support the owner in ensuring that the vessel is built with the correct quality and at the correct standard.

Specifications

Specifications are the key documents that allow the builder to develop the design as well as the concepts for hull and superstructure. This is the point where the owners ideas start to come to life, and initial plans can be made for the construction.

Contract Management

Using our extensive knowledge of vessel contracts and experienced legal advice, we can help put together, review and negotiate the build contracts with the ship yards. Shipyards write contracts all the time for new vessels, and they know what they need to write to protect themselves as well as limit their exposure during and after the build when the guarantee process starts. We know how the shipyards work.

Build Management

Our team is very experienced with managing new build vessels, and can provide build project management and technical surveying and inspection services during the construction phase. This is an absolutely critical time where we ensure that the build standards are achieved and maintained throughout. We work with the class surveyors to ensure compliance is achieved first time.

Guarantee Management

After delivery of your vessel, we then move into the guarantee phase to manage the failures during the agreed contractual guarantee period. Keeping you sailing and settling with the builder, and keeping the blame game in check will ensure your vessel is kept in top shape by the accountable party. TenMicron will manage all communications and settlements with the builder.

Getting your yacht from design to delivery on time is why we are here.
