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.
Procurement
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!
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.
