Less risk. More reward! 

For the right person, a Tidy Slabs Partnership is the smartest and safest way to take control of your work-life balance and give your income a handsome nudge upwards.

There’s way less risk than starting a company on your own, but you get the upside being a business owner because you partner with a company with a stellar track record, an awesome, supportive office team, national relationships and a pipeline full of the right work. 

“It’s quick and easy. We’re in and out and onto the next job. There’s no way I could get these results on my own.” - Tidy Slabs Partner, Micheal Martin, 25. 6 years experience.

I WANT TO BE  A PARTNER


You don’t need any specialised skills, you need to be an LBP (if you’re not yet, we can help you become one). You need to be a motivated, hard worker who can communicate with us, our customers, and your 2-3-person crew. Once set up and running smoothly, our dedicated Tidy Partners can take home six figures - on top of their salary. 

We work hard to keep your gig simple. We feed you the work and handle all the administration like sales, quality assurances, design and invoicing. You manage the site. You and your crew lay the foundations.

5 benefits of being a Tidy Slabs Partner

1. You can make a salary plus six-figures as a Partner. If you’re a hard worker, you can make a packet, without taking much risk.

2. You become a business owner without all the administration stresses.
We feed you the jobs and you lay the slabs. Our head office does all the administrative work behind the scenes.

3. You focus on one thing and you do that well -
laying slabs and smashing it.

4. You take control of your life,
so when you do tha mahi, you not only get a handsome salary but you also get way more control of your work-life balance

5. Opportunities for growth beyond laying slabs.
We live and breathe getting better, whether that’s watching Jocko Willink, upskilling on a course, or getting Ross (Tidy Partner) to teach us how to stick a pig. Life is short and we need to learn and grow into who we can be. We believe we should have fun doing it!

Who are the best people for this? 

“Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.” — Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers

To be blunt, people who want to get better - get better. People who get shit done - do well. Good people with good values -  strive. 

If you’re hungry to make more of your life. If you want more control and to enjoy the successes of your hard work, then you’ll do well as a Tidy Partner. You’ll need to be dedicated, organised and humble. We have a ‘No dickhe@d’ policy which speaks for itself.

How do I become a Partner?

Think about what you want in life and whether an opportunity like this could work with you. Call Brian on 027 506 7405 and he’ll run you through the process. The most important quality is your character. You may be on a building site, you may already run a crew, or you might be working in an office. If you can learn, you’ll do well.

How will the Tidy Slabs team save you time and money?

It’s hard running a small business in New Zealand - 60% fail after two years. Quite often people who are good on the tools feel burdened with all the administration it takes to run a successful business. In this partnership, both teams do what they do best to deliver an exceptional service to our shared client

We do the sales and get the work, we set up the job, we suss the materials. You manage your team and deliver the slabs.

What’s in it for TidySlabs ?

We get a trusted team to deliver on our promises to clients. We fizz on helping people, it makes us happy to see people prosper. We’ve had employed teams but find that people do better when they have skin in the game. Hard work = more pay!

Partner Snapshot:

  • You are the owner as an LBP.
  • You have a 2-3 man (or woman) field team
  • You have a ute (towing vehicle) and all the tools needed
  • Trailer and box system provided
  • Work-life - 45+ hours per week, but with great flexibility.
  • Profit after overheads and owners salary  - $100k + (when it clicks, this could be much greater)
  • Agreed labour rate sets you up to win

What does a normal day look like?

The idea behind the Tidy Partner model is that there’s less stress because we both do what we do well. Too many small business owners struggle to fit administrative work into their day. They spend evenings doing the paperwork. We are stoked when we can pack all the mahi into a work day and when you’re with the family, you’re actually with the family. We’ve had all types of people run crews. If you’re curious and want to know what a normal day is like, here’s a sample.  

  • 7.00am: Pick up your crew and head to the site.
  • 7:30am: Coffee in hand, run your pre-start team meeting. Review your goals for the day.
  • 7:45am: Get the tools out and get your team into their tasks.
  • 8:00am: Book your subbies, deliveries and inspections for the day and the week.
  • 8:10am: Get into the Mahi with the boys and set the pace.
  • 10:00am: Maybe you stay on the site or check out another job or inspection. 
  • 3:30pm: Finish your day site work with the team. Pack up. Set your targets for the next day.
  • 4:00pm: Call your Tidy Slabs Project Manager at the HQ. Have a yarn, confirm the pour date, seek any help you need. Check in with our client, if you need to. 
  • 4:30pm:  Day done. Time for the family or your hobby.

We take the stress out of site preparation

Your problems become ours. The construction industry is plagued with problems:
poor planning, broken promises, material wastage, quality issues, budget bloating and unexpected delays. The process can become needlessly painful fast!

“Forget the stress. My team is eager to take responsibility for ‘the whole foundation process’. From grass to frames, we are one-stop foundation stop:  design, earthworks, foundations, site-management, the compliance rigamarole, we manage it all.” - Andy Garvie, Founder, Developer, CEO, Father

More efficient site preparation and management.

Each site has its own complexity, nuances and fishhooks. There are lots of moving parts: there’s ground, changing weather, council rules, engineers, councils and architects, to name a few. Our engineers, builders, surveyors, and estimators study your plans, spot efficiencies, find savings and solve problems before they slow you down. 

“My team has more than 200 years of experience in construction. We train our people to a standard never seen in the construction industry. This means we do what we say we’ll do when we said we’d do it!” - Andy Garvie, Founder, Developer, CEO, Father

New Zealand’s most experienced team. 

Our smart tight-knit team has delivered more than 1500 concrete slabs of all sizes to a growing list of happy clients. We’re concrete masters. We’ll save you time, money and labour by thinking smarter. For you this means less wastage, less delays and more efficiency. 

“Tidy Slabs are well organised. They tackle the job head-on. Boxing and components go into place quickly. They deliver on time, keeping ahead of the builders.” - Alan Attack, Project Director, Masonic Villages, Oct 2022

Extra project management. 

Our planning and operations are superb. Brian Bowers and his operations team will give you nothing short of first-class, five-star communication. From design to getting the compliance ticks, we manage the sub-trades and everything in between. You’ll get regular updates every step of the way!

“I believe in earnest good old fashioned hospitality and honesty. My operations team will make sure your project is stress free and stays on time.” Brian Bowers, Lower North Island Area Manager, Father, Opening Batsman

Steadfast partners. Your problems are ours. 

Imagine having New Zealand’s smartest foundation experts in your team, batting for you for design, due diligence, site management and of course - laying your slab!

“You need people you can trust. You’ll have one point of contact to manage the design, earthworks, and concrete slabbing. We deliver!” - Cameron Goldsmid, Auckland General Manager, New Zealand triathlete, Spear-fisherman.

Driven by purpose - improving our industry. 

In 2016, construction company owner Sam Faisandier was forced to use a sub-trade that let him down time
and time again. During the most complex part of the build, Sam noticed there was:

  • Lack of foresight and people development. Our next generation of tradesmen need experience working on high volume projects. They need comprehensive training. They need mentorship from the best, so they can get better.
  • Highly unproductive industry. Did you know in our industry 50% of all tasks planned, have to then be re-planned. That’s inefficient! We got the magnifying glass out and studied each process in our business in order for us to be a business that delivers on its promises.
  • People don’t do what they say they will. A symptom of two points above. Not because they don't want to, but because they can't figure out how to do it as they don’t know how. 
  • Some view a finished slab as a commodity not knowing the pain it can cause you. How you get your slab built is important - cutting corners ends up expensive and time consuming.  That’s why we designed an end-to-end service that takes the burden off your shoulders and gives you what you need - a slab fit for purpose and on the date you need it.
  • Services based on the lowest price and quickest delivery. Not all that glitters is gold. While it sounds good, we often get asked to pick up the ruins of these projects. Not only that, you may get a cheaper quote elsewhere but you will likely get stung by variations along the way. Our focus is on a reliable service and consistent delivery. We believe that in the long run, this is the fastest and most cost-effective route for you.

Sam’s idea was to handle this complex process by taking full control from grass to frame ready. Determined to provide a better solution. Sam, along with Andy Garvie and Paddy Faisandier, started Tidy Slabs. We began with better scheduling, better training and better communications. It wasn’t too long before design, earthworks, and on-site management were added to the mix.
