Why do I need the Burgess New Build team?

The fundamentals of superyacht new build.

Chapter 1 - Why build a superyacht?

What makes an owner decide to build rather than buy a yacht?

Chapter 2 - Choosing the right team

Understanding the owner drives the selection of designer and shipyard

Chapter 3 - Pre-contract development and negotiation

The success of any new-build project is defined by this critical phase

Chapter 4 - Engineering, design and approval

This phase is all about detail, removing any ambiguity from the project

Chapter 5 - Construction and quality management

Steel is cut, the keel is laid and concept becomes reality

Chapter 6 - Commissioning, delivery and support

Systems are tested, the crew learn their roles, and a new journey begins
