Our Service Model

A service model is simply a company’s blueprint to serve. Similar to building a project, we understand the value of having well designed blueprints. It minimizes confusion, reduces assumption, and greatly increases the clarity for all that will be invested in the project.

“Plan, Communicate, Lead, Excel”

Without measurable performance, our Service Model is just a blueprint. If our team plans effectively, communicates the plan, and uses our influence to lead the plan, while striving for excellence in all that we do – the natural result is success. These four simple words encompass the Tilden-Coil Performance Criteria.

Purpose


We Exist to Serve by Shaping Futures

This is the core of who we are, and the defined purpose of our organization. Our purpose stands proudly in contrast to many “standard” mission statements in our industry, because it revolves around those we serve, not ourselves. Our purpose statement does not mention the term “construction.” This is because we view our purpose as greater than just the services we offer (building buildings); it is to positively impact the lives of those around us, which is much greater than just building great buildings.

Ultimately when our clients choose to hire us, they do so because they know they have an organization who is dedicated to shaping futures first; and will step outside of the traditional roles to serve and do whatever it takes to accomplish team goals.


Values

  • Passion
    Bringing enthusiasm and emotional drive to our work and life.
  • Commitment
    A covenant to fulfill what we promise.
  • Quality
    A high degree of excellence in all that we accomplish.
  • Balance
    Placing an importance on a high quality of life.
  • Integrity
    Our core values and actions are always congruent.
