Tell Us What You Need

First of all, if you see and feel that Kakanoo Marine could be your working partner, just let us know what you need.   If it is jus an general idea/concept, we can provide you with our inquiry sheet that is made according to your particular interest so that you can be guided in providing us with information we need.  This is not an examination and no one will put a grade on it.  Just tell us what you know in relation to what you need for us to see together whether Kakanoo Marine is ready for you.

Owner Requirement

We all work together based on some client requirements which have to be clear and explained in comprehensive written information.  Client requirement come to our desk in many forms. Some requirements that consist of very sound, clear, specific series of quantitative information that can be used for us to perform further steps of our services and solutions offered.  Most of them just tell us series of qualitative data (big or small, fast or slow, nice, top of the line, not expensive, etc.). In doing our works, we need a measurable data that can be processed into tangible results.

We strongly recommend that all clients should have an owner requirement statement document first, as a part of project initiation stage, before going further into project planning and project execution stages.   We can understand each other better if we all express our thoughts and expectations clearly in well documented comprehensive words. An owner requirement statement may consist of as far as:

• What is the project mission? (the reason why this project exist)
• What is the project vision? (the picturing of the complete project results)
• What are the project goals? (broad statements of what the project hopes to accomplish)
• What are the project objectives? (measurable output, time period, budget, etc.)
• What is the level of acceptance of project results? (quality, performance, etc.)
• What standard is going to be used? (flag state, classifications rules, statutory regulations, etc.)
• Who will be the key stakes holders involved in the project? (owner, consultant, builder, installer, regulatory body, etc.)

With a clear and comprehensive owner requirement statement document on hand we should be able to have a common ground in the project achievement and expectations.  No more guessing and assuming that can lead to misleading expectations.

We can provide assistance in setting up your owner requirement statement that later can be presented to any consultant like us (including Kakanoo Marine,… be our guest) so that they can respond to and process your requirement better.

Conceptual Design Project

Conceptual Design is a set of quantitative technical information (drawings and documents) that shows the main idea of the expected vessel would become in terms of shape, specifications (major components), styling (sample of exterior and interior design concept) and estimated cost.  From here, owner should be able to see whether his/her idea is worth implementing or not before deciding to invest more funds for further design steps. Conceptual Design would consist of:

• 2D General Arrangement (GA)
• 3D General Arrangement (GA) sketch
• 3D Exterior and Interior Design Concept Sketch (Sample)
• General Specifications (vessel main dimensions and particulars, material, machinery, main equipments, capacity, etc.)
• Building Cost Estimate

Note that we always put exterior and interior design concept into consideration as an integrated part of our marine vessel design works.
