About BC Tech
HOW DID BC TECH EVOLVE?
BC Tech is the result of a partnership between Paul Bury of Bury Design & Dax Callagher of CAD Projects Australia. Both company’s modus operandi is specialist vessel design.
We design new boats for the recreational & commercial sectors all day, every day and chances are we are the men behind the design of those boats you are drooling all over at the boat ramp.
Over an accumulated 40 years in the industry we have picked up a trick or two and stowed them away ready for use in the next evolution in boat design. BC Tech vessels represent the result of these tips & tricks we have picked up through 40 years of research & development.
The Why!
After designing vessels for many of the established manufacturers we were left feeling somewhat Handy capped by their reluctance to push the development route. Technical advancement was not an area they needed to invest in as sales figures didn’t demand it.
This was frustrating for those of us existing on the fringe of technical development as we could see & present tangible improvements in hull forms and construction techniques that where not adopted by the established players. A common theme was why invest in making your product better if your competitors & bottom line don’t demand it.
Born of this frustration rose our unshackled brand BC Technologies here to put the innovation back into boat design & manufacture.
It takes an underdog to come into an industry and drive change and that is exactly what BC Tech is here to do.
