Service
Repair / Shipyard Supervision
ARMA provides independent technical follow-up during repair or shipyard work, helping the client understand progress, scope, deviations, pending items, and visible condition.
Who it's for
This service is for vessel owners, buyers, operators, attorneys, insurers, or representatives who need independent technical eyes during a repair, refit, estimate execution, or yard period.
What's included
- Review of approved scope or repair estimate provided by the client
- Baseline documentation when possible
- Repair or yard progress follow-up
- Photo-supported updates
- A running list of deviations, out-of-estimate work, and change orders (ARMA records them; it does not approve them), and of open items worth asking the shop about
- Recommended next steps
- Practical reporting to the client
What's not included
- ARMA does not perform the repair
- ARMA does not replace the yard, contractor, engineer, insurer, adjuster, class society, or authority
- ARMA does not guarantee third-party workmanship
- ARMA does not certify hidden conditions
- ARMA does not approve invoices on behalf of the client unless expressly agreed
When it makes sense
Use this service when a repair is expensive, unclear, delayed, technically sensitive, or when the owner is away and needs independent follow-up before authorizing more work or accepting completion.
How ARMA works
ARMA reviews the approved scope, documents a baseline when possible, and delivers photo-supported progress updates with notes on any deviations or pending items.
Frequently asked questions
Where does ARMA provide this service?
ARMA is based in La Paz and also serves Los Cabos and other locations in Baja California Sur, Mexico; outside La Paz, travel expenses are included in the quote. When you contact ARMA, include where the vessel is kept so scope and access can be confirmed before any work starts.
Does ARMA approve the yard's invoices?
No, unless expressly agreed. ARMA reports progress, deviations and pending items so the client can decide.
How will I get updates?
Through photo-supported updates with notes on deviations, pending items or unclear work.
Is it useful if I am away during the repair?
Yes. It is meant for owners who are away and need independent follow-up before authorizing more work or accepting completion.
This service is delivered by agreed scope and is subject to documentation, access, and — where applicable — third-party or authority requirements. ARMA provides independent advisory support; ARMA does not replace a certified surveyor, attorney, notary, insurer, financial institution, or government authority where one is legally or contractually required.
