HOW WE STAND OUT
Client Prestart
Before commencing work onsite, your dedicated Project Manager & site team will all meet onsite to discuss the project & Tide expectations.
Client Portal
You will receive a Onedrive Link with all of the information for your project. This includes plan sets, meeting minutes, site photos & quality checks throughout the build.
Tide Scheduling
A full Gantt chart schedule will be provided before the build starts and will be available at all times in the Client Portal. If changes are made to the schedule you will be notified immediately by your Project Manager.
Sending Purchase Orders
The Tide Contracts Management Team will send out all purchase orders in relation to materials and labour for your project. This ensures all lead times for materials are factored into the schedule and there are no unexpected cost increases.
Weekly Meetings
Each week your Project Manager will book a site meeting to walk you through the progress. In addition to this, plumbing, electrical & joinery walk-throughs will also be booked with you to ensure you are involved in every aspect of the build, right down to powerpoint refining and tap heights.
Audits
We use an advanced quality assurance application that is extremely thorough. Typically a Tide build will have on average 30 quality assurance inspections. This includes - checking deliveries & ensuring ordered items are correct & delivered in perfect condition, checking the work of subcontractors, and ensuring every aspect of your build is accurate and built to a higher standard.
Site Security
At the start of the build, a Site Camera & lockable construction fencing will be set up onsite. This ensures the site is kept safe & secure when no one is there. We have 24/7 access to the cameras so you can be sure your home is always safe.
Quality Assurance
“Built to a higher standard” is the cornerstone of everything we do. Our processes & procedures ensure we deliver an exceptional product, always! No exceptions!
Handover & Defects
One month before handover we begin our bi-weekly inspections with the Director himself. This means anything and everything that can be scrutinised will be to ensure on the most important day of your journey you will be able to “cheers” a champagne or beer with us, knowing we reached perfection!
LEARN MORE
If you want to begin building your dream home, there is no time like the present. Tide has limited availability each season for new home builds to ensure each and every project receives our full attention.
