Planning and Controlling A Motor Yacht Refit: Practical Guide to Scope, Cost, Contractors Completion

A motor-yacht refit can begin as a manageable list of jobs and quickly become a network of hidden defects, access problems, changing interfaces and competing decisions. Without a clear scope and effective controls, cost and schedule can move long before the owner sees the consequences.Planning and Controlling a Motor Yacht Refit gives owners, captains and owner's representatives a practical system for turning survey findings, maintenance requirements and improvement plans into a controlled, buildable project.This guide explains how to: - define the yacht's mission and required completion state - separate safety, compliance, reliability, capability and preference - create clear work packages and acceptance criteria - build realistic budgets, contingencies and programmes - compare yard tenders and establish sound commercial rules - control discovery, change, quality, progress and contractor performance - manage commissioning, sea trials, handover and warranty workA worked refit of the fictional M/Y Atlas demonstrates the method from the first project brief through to final handover. Sixteen practical appendices provide adaptable briefs, registers, specifications, tender tools, schedules, change forms, inspection plans and completion records.A refit is not merely a collection of jobs. It is a controlled change to an operating vessel. This book shows how to keep that change visible, defensible and under control.
