How to Work Effectively with Your Marine Construction Contractor

Contractor with a tool beltWorking with a marine construction contractor is a great way to ensure your seawalls, boat lifts, and other structures are built and maintained correctly. When hiring Vogell Marine Inc. for your marine construction services, below are a few tips to work effectively with our team on your next project.

Create a Plan of Communication

Before your project begins, meet with your contractor to develop a clear outline of the plan and how any changes and updates will be communicated. Whether you are checking in by phone or stopping by the job site, you want to ensure the contractor is prepared to provide the information you want.

Track Changes to the Plan in Writing

Though the initial project plan should also be in writing, be sure to track any changes in written form as well. This will ensure your payment is on track, as well as any agreements the two of you make throughout the process. It is also good to make notes of any questions or concerns you have as they come up, so you can address them quickly and make changes as necessary.

Have a Flexible Mindset

Weather conditions, shipping delays, and equipment malfunctions can all cause the project to be put on hold. Remain flexible when it comes to the construction project. Your contractor will work to keep everything in line to the best of their ability, but it is good to have an open mindset when working with waterfront construction.

Boat lifts in South Florida

Give Your Dock a Lift with Vogell Marine Inc.

Boat lifts in South Florida are a great way to keep your watercraft accessible and protected from the damage that can occur from water storage. Lifting it out of the water will help you avoid a variety of issues, from delamination to storm damage.

At Vogell Marine Inc., we construct a variety of high-quality boat lifts for those looking to keep their home on the water safe and secure. It is much better to let the professionals create and install your boat lift rather than to try to build one yourself. You can compromise the structural integrity of your dock, as well as your boat if you do not know exactly what you are doing.

Many boats are built with the intention to be stored on dry docks, not in the water. If stored improperly, you can damage your boat and lose out on a hefty investment. Storing your boat in the water will contribute to performance decreases and the loss of value.

Our team will consult with you to determine the best options for your needs.  You want to ensure the materials used are suitable for your water climate, as well as strong enough to support the vessel you will be docking. We can build boat lifts for everything from jet-skis to yachts. Our company is experienced in a variety of marine construction services and will work with you to build the best structure for you.
