From lofting to launch, run the build on facts
Alloy workboats, fibreglass hulls, or multi-year superyacht projects — marine builds are long, labour-heavy, and unforgiving on estimates. Empower attributes every hour to the right stage of the right build.
Built for the boat building floor
Alloy workboats, fibreglass hulls, or multi-year superyacht projects — marine builds are long, labour-heavy, and unforgiving on estimates. Empower attributes every hour to the right stage of the right build.
Year-long builds, weekly truth
On a 5,000-hour build, a 10% drift is a disaster you find too late. Empower compares actual vs. budget weekly, while you can still act.
Trades stacked in a hull
Fabricators, fairers, fitters, sparkies — all in one boat, all on one clock. Empower tracks each trade's hours against their stage.
Owner variations on running builds
Every change request on a boat is real hours. Empower captures variations as separate, costed work — so the invoice matches the build.
Refit vs. new-build economics
Refit work surprises; new builds compound. Empower keeps both honest with live labour data per job, per stage, per trade.
