About Us

Shipbuilding’s unique challenges require solutions that were developed specifically with shipbuilding in mind. No matter what stage of the lifecycle your project or vessel is in, there is a fundamental need to work with or manage key information. ShipConstructor, EnterprisePlatform, and ShipbuildingPLM are solutions that make that possible.

The original model and design documents are vital for repair and refit work. A ShipConstructor model does not outlive its usefulness once the project is successively built. The design data is used to carry out future modifications and refits that may take place.
