From Build to Refit

The Digital Thread That Connects Every Detail

How one source of truth transforms every stage of a yacht’s interior life.

A yacht interior is never truly finished.
It begins with vision — concept sketches, materials, storyboards — then moves through layers of build, outfitting, operation, and, eventually, renewal.
Each phase is a new expression of the same idea: creating a space that feels effortless.

But between those phases, information often fragments.
Design notes get lost in inboxes. Procurement lists live on personal drives. By the time a refit begins, the thread of detail that shaped the original design has started to unravel.

That’s where the real work — and the real opportunity — begins.

With Dorah, every detail remains part of the story.

Continuity is a form of craftsmanship

A yacht’s interior carries its history in every finish and fitting.
When that knowledge is preserved — through detailed specifications, linked imagery, and consistent categorisation — it becomes part of the vessel’s design DNA.

That’s what Dorah was built to hold: the living continuity between teams, years, and phases.
Designers can hand over projects with confidence, knowing that what they envisioned can be revisited, refined, or restored later — without starting from zero.

Crew and managers can access structured information that supports maintenance and procurement. Every detail, from the type of crystal used in the dining set to the marble selected for a vanity top, is exactly where it should be.

Bridging the build–refit gap

New builds are about creation. Refit projects are about interpretation.
And both rely on clear communication.

With Dorah, the two become part of the same continuous story.
The specifications created during a build evolve seamlessly into a foundation for future work — drawings, samples, and moodboards all living within the same architecture.

By the time a refit begins, every record is still there: searchable, referenced, and ready to be built upon.
It’s not just efficiency — it’s respect for the design process and everyone involved in it.

From first sketch to future renewal

When information flows through the lifespan of a yacht, the results speak for themselves: fewer oversights, smoother handovers, more confident decisions.

Dorah keeps every layer of the design process connected — from build to refit, from concept to continuation — ensuring that the integrity of the original vision endures with every update.

The takeaway

True craftsmanship doesn’t stop at completion.
It continues through care, clarity, and connection — the invisible systems that preserve what was built to last.
