Our goal is to help you get a well-planned, structurally sound dock that meets all your needs
To the average person, designing a dock for a lake house might seem like a simple process. You decide where you want a dock, and then you build it – easy enough, right? At Custom Dock Works, we know that the reality is far more complex if you want to end up with a dock that is safe, secure, and an attractive asset to your property. We provide professional dock design and installation services to customers around the High Rock Lake, North Carolina area, and we’d be happy to help you get the dock setup you’ve always wanted.
Our dock design process has several key steps that help us ensure we build you a dock that meets your functional needs and aesthetic preferences.
Here are just a few things the design stage will include.
- Needs Assessment:The first step is to ensure we clearly understand how you plan to use your dock. Are you an avid boater looking for the perfect place to store your collection of watercraft, or are you more of a lakeside lounger who will mainly use the dock for entertaining? We’ll discuss the appropriate size, capacity, and any extra features you may want to include in the dock design.
- Site Evaluation: While it would be nice if we could just drop a dock anywhere and call it a day, we’ll need to consider several site factors in the dock design. As we move forward with the dock design process, aspects like the water depth, shoreline condition, wave action or possible currents, existing structures, and environmental concerns will all be considered.
- Conceptual Design:We can design docks of all shapes, sizes, and configurations, and there are plenty of materials for you to choose from to ensure you get a dock that not only meets your practical needs but also looks great. We’re happy to offer suggestions or reference past projects to help get the creativity flowing.
- Safety Planning:Safety is paramount no matter what you plan to use your dock for. We can help you incorporate features like railings, non-slip surfaces and materials, lighting, and signage to ensure your dock meets safety regulations and is as safe as it is fun.
