Pontoon Houseboat 2D-3D Design

I’m taking a new pontoon houseboat from idea to fabrication and I need a certified Naval Architect who can hand me everything the yard will ask for.

The scope is a fully detailed set of drawings and a parametric 3D model built in SolidWorks or other competent software. I want both the interior and exterior worked out, right down to bulkheads, furniture modules, deck fittings and window openings. The pontoons will be moulded HDPE while the super-structure is planned in either WPVC panels or aluminium—please allow for both options in the model so we can compare weight and stability.

Deliverables
• Editable SolidWorks 3D model with organised feature tree
• Complete 2D drawing package (GA, structural framing, systems routing, key sections and elevations) ready for class or flag submission
• High-resolution renders that clearly convey interior and exterior finishes
• PDF/ DWG exports for quick review

Acceptance criteria
1. Hydrostatic report shows adequate stability for the chosen materials and loading.
2. All parts and assemblies open error-free in the current SolidWorks release.
3. Dimensions and weights in the 2D sheets match the model within accepted tolerances.

If you’ve produced houseboats or similar floating structures before, I’d love to see examples. Let me know your estimated timeline for the first review set and how you usually structure milestones for a job of this size.
