| Designer Hourly Fee:Starting from NZD145 / hour (excl. GST)   Costs of Custom Plans:For a vessel around 12mtr / 40ft; depending on the scope of the required documentation, approximately 5-8% of the cost of a professionally built vessel. For smaller boats it will likely be a higher percentage and for larger boats it may be a smaller percentage.   Studyplans, Full Design Plans and Stockplans:Studyplans are meant to give you a good idea of what the design has to offer. The studyplan information should enable a professional builder to make an initial build cost estimate. The Full Design Plans will offer all available details and would be required for accurate cost pricing. For some designs we offer the Full Design Plans as a ‘Stockplan’, which means the design is ‘as-is’ and without any customisation. We can offer customisation of a stockplan design if it does not fully offer you the characteristics that you require. Customisation will be charged addtionally to the stockplan price. If a stockplan of a particular design is available, it will show at the bottom of the page of that design. When you buy the Full Design Plans after having purchased the Studyplans, the studyplan costs will be deducted from the price of the full plans.   About our Design Plans and the way we make information available to our clients:
All prices are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD). Orders within New Zealand are subject to GST of 15%.Plan prices are subject to change without notice.Purchasing Full Design Plans will allow the construction of 1 (one) vessel only, unless specifically agreed otherwise. Construction of additional vessels of the same design (or derivative), are subject to a royalty payment equal to the full plan price, for each constructed vessel.Exclusive and series building license rights of a design can be arranged for certain regions or countries. This will be more expensive and conditions will apply regarding a required amount of boats to be produced within a certain timeframe. Contact us if you are interested in such an arrangement.Stock plans are provided on an ‘as-is’ basis – Changes and customisation will be quoted separately.For our stockplans generally we have CNC cutfile information available, which we typically communicate directly with cutting companies (we can help you find one if you need). Clients can then acquire the actual materials directly from the cutting company.
