Build Strategy & Breakdown Planning

● Develop the build strategy breaking the hull into its construction hierarchy: parts, panels/subassemblies, units/blocks, grand blocks, and erected hull.

● Define breakdown (block boundary) locations based on facility constraints, crane/transport capacity, access, and weld/outfitting sequence.

● Specify fit-up, alignment, and weld sequence at each level of assembly to control distortion and accuracy.

Fabrication & Erection Work Instructions

● Develop work instructions for fabrication (cutting, forming, fit-up) and assembly (panel line, sub-block, unit, and block erection).

● Plan and sequence erection joints, including butt and seam welding at block-to-block connections, to maintain hull fairness.

● Define temporary supports, strongbacks, and fairing aids used during assembly.

Secondary Structure & Outfit Integration

● Plan how secondary structure (foundations, brackets, stiffeners, ladders, gratings, coamings) is installed and welded at the correct build stage.

● Coordinate with piping, electrical, HVAC, and outfitting planning to ensure foundations and penetrations are ready when those systems need them.

● Identify and resolve interferences and sequencing conflicts between primary structure, secondary structure, and outfitting.
