Mark Mantione's new company brings methods associated with complex yacht projects into residential construction, placing early coordination and integrated systems at the centre of its approach.
Strategic Builds was introduced during the Monaco Yacht Show, with founder Mark Mantione proposing a residential construction model informed by superyacht engineering and craftsmanship.
The firm acts as contractor and systems integrator. Its Design Assist process brings architects, engineers, designers and suppliers together early to resolve materials, technical requirements and fabrication details before site work.
Quality beyond the visible finish
The company's published approach includes coordinated digital models, material checks, service access and formal commissioning. A proprietary platform, Strategic Estate Intelligence, is intended to support monitoring and management after handover.
BOAT International reports its first project at The Shipyards waterfront development in Jacksonville, Florida. The venture is residential construction informed by yacht practices, rather than a new yacht-building operation.
