This article guides you through our custom pier process, highlighting key stages that guarantee a structure that is both aesthetically pleasing and robust.

The first crucial step in Gilley Marine's Custom Pier Process is the initial consultation. This stage is all about listening. We meet with our clients to understand their unique preferences, lifestyle requirements, and the specific functionality they desire from their custom pier. At this point, important aspects such as size, design style, and intended use are discussed. Our team of experts is flexible and attentive, taking into account the nuances of each client’s vision while offering insightful recommendations based on our extensive industry experience.

Following the consultation is the design phase, a crucial part of Gilley Marine’s comprehensive approach. Our talented designers transform ideas into detailed plans, using advanced design software to create 3D renderings. This ensures that the envisioned structure aligns perfectly with what will eventually stand along the waterline. Clients are heavily involved in this phase, reviewing drafts and suggesting modifications until every detail aligns with their expectations.

The permitting process can be daunting, but at Gilley Marine, we manage permits and regulatory compliance on our clients’ behalf. Navigating through local, state, and federal requirements is complicated, but our seasoned team has an impeccable track record in obtaining necessary approvals swiftly. We liaise with regulatory bodies to ensure the pier complies with all environmental and safety regulations, taking the burden off our clients’ shoulders.

Construction marks the physical realization of the design. Our team uses high-quality materials and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure durability and aesthetic beauty. By employing skilled craftsmen, we maintain superior standards of workmanship at every stage of construction. Safety and environmental conservation are of utmost priority, so we adopt sustainable practices to minimize our ecological footprint while securing the structural integrity of our piers.

The final reviews and adjustments phase sees us conducting meticulous inspections to ensure the highest level of quality assurance. We believe in leaving no detail unchecked, which is why our experts thoroughly examine the structure for alignment with the initial design and client expectations. This step is crucial as it verifies the safety, stability, and overall finish of the custom pier. Any necessary adjustments are swiftly implemented by our team to guarantee complete client satisfaction.

Once the custom pier is complete, the handover is a moment of excitement. Gilley Marine stands by our workmanship, offering continued support and maintenance advice to ensure longevity and enjoyment of your new waterfront addition. We believe that our job doesn’t end with the completion of construction; we remain a resource to our clients long after the pier is operational.
