The permitting department your company never had to hire.
Tideway is a professional services company with one specialty: managing residential marine permits for Florida contractors — prepared for first-pass completeness and managed proactively through agency review and approval.
Marine permitting is all we do
Docks, seawalls, boat lifts, riprap and shoreline work across Florida. We are not a general expediter running restaurant build-outs on the side — residential marine permitting is the entire business.
Prepared for first-pass completeness
Most permit delay is self-inflicted: missing documents, unsigned forms, gaps an agency has to write back about. Our packages are built against each agency’s actual requirements and designed to reduce avoidable comments and resubmissions.
Contractor-first, always
You own the homeowner relationship, the construction contract and every business decision. We never bid your work, never talk to your customer without authorization, and never get between you and your project.
Proactive communication
You should never have to ask where a permit stands. We track every submission and tell you what changed, what it means and what happens next — before you have to chase it.
Calm, prepared, accountable
A permit under Tideway management means the requirements were confirmed before anything was drawn, the professionals were scoped and scheduled, the package was quality-checked before submission, and every agency comment gets a coordinated, technical response — not a scramble.
That is the whole promise: you hand permitting to specialists, and it stays handled.
We cannot control agency timelines or approval decisions, but we control the preparation, coordination and responsiveness of the permit package.
Clear boundaries, in writing
- You own the homeowner relationship and the construction contract.
- We communicate with homeowners only when you authorize it.
- We coordinate licensed professionals — we never perform or assume responsibility for licensed technical work.
- We stay out of crew scheduling, materials, construction supervision and everything else that is your business.
