There
are many circumstances and occasions when a formal survey may not be
precisely what a client needs. This is where the second part of our
name takes on added significance. Coastal Marine Surveyors &
Consultants can tailor our services to meet your needs. A solid
background in vessel construction, repair, and operations gives us the
ability to address issues and processes that surveying alone just
cannot do.
Consulting
services often include timely inspections of new boat
construction, refitting, or major systems repair. The time to find out
about discrepancies is not the date of delivery! We will work with the
builder or repair facility to schedule visits and inspections at
crucial points in the process. We then report back to the client with
recommendations to accept work and proceed, or for changes that may be
necessary.
Every
boat owner (or potential buyer) has different needs and expectations
for their vessel. Before a purchase or construction commission, we can
offer advice and direction about the type of boat to best suit your
requirements. The selection of materials and components can be
difficult at best, and quickly become overwhelming. Let us help you
make this process an enjoyable and educational experience, not a
headache! Once you take delivery of your new boat, we can provide
personal training in the safe operation and maintenance of your new
boat, ensuring years of hassle free cruising.
For
clients in the insurance industry, we offer damage appraisals and
repair expense evaluations. We work very closely with adjusters and
claims representatives to properly assess the many whys and hows of
damage claims. We are also available for catastrophe duty in the event
of a natural disaster.
Coastal
Marine Surveyors & Consultants can provide expert witness testimony
in arbitration and litigation cases. Our unique combination of training
and experience positions us to be a valuable aid to judges, jurors,
mediation specialists, and arbiters. Early involvement of an expert
witness can help keep costs down and lead to a much faster resolution
in many disputes.
The
scope and range of situations requiring our consultation services is
far too broad to itemize in this format. We will gladly discuss your
situation with you and structure an agreeable fee schedule. Please use
