We are HOFF; Being the ideal partners in engineering within the maritime industry. With this in mind HOFF was found by Marcel Kruithof and Lars Hofman. With every project they do they will only deliver the best quality possible. HOFF will provide throughout the whole proces; from design until production. During this proces they will be a true partner for their clients. HOFF relieves during the entire project and can be an extension for her clients. During the project HOFF values cooperation and transparency. HOFF stands out from others by applying a clear process with excellent communication, flexibilty and a wide range of skills. “We ensure that our clients can count on us. We will get the job done with cutting-edge quality and within time, ensuring we are our clients partner”, as quoted by Kruithof and Hofman. HOFF stands for engineering from A to Z and serves her clients with a smile. A good relationship is of big importance for HOFF, as partnership is one of their core values. A trusted partner HOFF has more than two decades of experience in the maritime industry, in which knowledge and expertise is present for all disciplines for realizing your project in the maritime industry. For contractors and suppliers We are the reliable partner for shipyards, offering support and coordination for subcontractors and suppliers in the maritime industry. For architects and designers Our expertise enhances their creative vision, ensuring each maritime project is both innovative in design and technically sound. For owner’s representatives We stand up. Together, we work in close collaboration to maintain the highest levels of safety, performance, and compliance. HOFF offers a wide range of knowledge and expertise within the design process of a ship. We ensure that the owner’s or architects vision gets translated into a General Arrangement Plan, 3D (architect) model or design renderings to experience the look and feel of the ship. Examples: General Arrangement Plan Interior lay-out drawings 3D surface model / renderings Basic engineering is a crucial phase and forms the foundation of the project. Multidisciplinary integration of the different disciplines ensures that the ship fulfils the clients expectations, not only on look and feel, but also on technical level. HOFF offers a wide range of expertise in basic engineering. Our knowledge includes all basic facets of engineering a ship; structural, mechanical, interior and (exterior) outfit. Our specialty is to ensure a proper integration of all of the above mentioned (and other) disciplines into one. Here we can relieve you from the beginning until the end, in which we can also take over coordination with suppliers or subcontractors. Examples: Netspace definition plans Anchoring / mooring arrangement Staircase arrangements Different components within a ship will not be produced by the yard itself, but will be purchased at a subcontractor or supplier who is the technical specialist. Examples are doors, hatches, cranes or pools. To be able to purchases these as a turn-key component it is important that a clear procurement package is created. HOFF not only offers to deliver a specification and drawing for purchasing the component, but also offers support during the procurement process by technically reviewing the quotation(s) from the suppliers. After the order has been settled HOFF can also can lead the technical coordination of the supplier by integration, review and approval of the supplier’s documents and ensure that this is integrated in the ship. Examples: Shell Door Arrangement / Specification Overhead Davit Arrangement / Specification Anchor Winch Arrangement / Specification Detail engineering is the detailing of the concept or basic engineering design, by creating workshop drawings ready for production. During this process it is important to focus on manufacturability and availability, but also sustainability is of huge importance. HOFF offers her services on detail engineering in which these aspects take central stage. HOFF’s detail engineering does not only focus on creating workshop drawings and models, but also includes the creation of the BOM (Bill Of Material), so that the component is ready for procurement. Examples: Railing Arrangement Plan Storage Racks Plans Flagmast Arrangement HOFF offers naval architect services, to ensure that the owner’s or architects vision actually is viable. We verify the design by making different drawings and calculations and prepare the concept design for project initiation by creating the design definition package for a yard, in which we among others also write the building specification. Besides that we also handle the coordination with the class and flagstate society to ensure a flawless start of the project. Examples: Structural Fire Integrity Plan Means of Escape Plan Windows & Glazing Plan A frequently occurring issue within the maritime industry is the ability of planning and managing a complex project. HOFF can support by taking a coordinating role within a project, to ensure that the involved stakeholders will all work together by following a structured plan. With our unique combination of expertise, analytical, communicative and organizing skills we will ensure that a clear and structured plan is being created and followed, so that the project will be delivered in time. With projects becoming more complex and demanding, more involved stakeholders and ever increasing requirements the need for a clear overview is higher than ever. HOFF supports within the area of project management, in which we will monitor the most important aspects of the project and actively steer on priorities. We monitor or create the planning, progress reports, budget monitoring and completeness of the project. Client management and satisfaction is a very important factor within project management, which we will also take care of. HOFF is your partner in technical consultancy. We offer knowledge and expertise for all disciplines involved in the maritime industry and can provide in making research reports, advice reports and approval documentation for all situations possible. We can offer this service in which we report directly to our clients, but we can also offer this service as a mediator in which we advise between two parties. Se mer
