What We Do
The Waterside Company partners with marine and outdoor construction and service companies across Florida. Our unique strategy is to acquire existing market leaders with strong reputations for delivering quality products and to expand their leadership positions via support from our centralized operations and resources.
What Makes Us Unique?
As in most industries, larger construction and related service companies have significant advantages over smaller ones given their size and resources, such as economies of scale in purchasing, efficiencies in administrative functions and employee benefit structures, training, recruiting, and retention. While smaller companies have valuable local knowledge and relationships, they often lack the resources to maintain quality and consistency in their work and expand with new product lines and service areas.
The Waterside Model
We combine the economies and operational efficiencies of a larger company with the benefits of locally run organizations to deliver quality and timeliness across a broad scope of waterfront construction-related solutions.
Each Waterside affiliate company must first have strong brand recognition in their market and a reputation for delivering a high-quality work product.
Waterside then complements these foundational pillars by providing support in operational areas where smaller, regional companies often struggle, including:
- Accounting and Bookkeeping
- Customer Service, including emergency maintenance requests and live and automated project status reports
- Design – seawall, dock, deck, and other structures
- Human Resources including staff onboarding and training programs, structured benefits programs, and career path opportunities for all staff
- Legal
- Prospective customer follow-through
- Proposal Support
- Permitting Assistance
- Purchasing / Ordering
- Centralized materials order and inventory management
- Products and Service Expansion
- Project Management and Tracking
- Resource Scheduling
- Sales and Marketing including website maintenance and digital marketing (SEO, Ad Words, etc.)
- IT / Systems including accounting, CRM, Estimating, project management
Through a combination of selective and complementary acquisitions, carefully planned integrations, and proven organic growth strategies, we are building the leading marine and related outdoor construction, design and maintenance company in Florida.
