What we build and what we sort out
Six areas of work, and they overlap. Almost every project touches permitting, and most touch more than one of the rest.
Dock construction on the Charleston creeks
A new dock is a structure built over public tidelands under permit conditions. What gets built is decided by the water in front of you and the permit behind you.
Dock permitting: the part that decides everything else
Permitting is not paperwork that follows the design. It is the process that produces the design.
Boat lifts sized to the boat, the tide and the pierhead
A lift is the cheapest hull maintenance decision an owner makes, and the most structurally demanding thing hung off a dock.
Floating docks and gangways for a six-foot tide
The float is the part of the dock that is always at boat level. On this coast that makes it the part that gets used.
Walkways across the marsh, and the pierhead at the end
The walkway is the part of a Lowcountry dock that costs the most and gets the least attention in the planning conversation.
Dock repair, and telling repair from rebuild
Most dock problems are cheaper caught early than diagnosed late. The exception is anything below the waterline.

Start with the survey and the critical line. Everything else follows from those two things.
