Our in-house consultants have worked with architects and interior designers over several decades, the comment below sums up the one thing that causes the most concern, time and time again.

“The stone looks amazing and the client is pleased, but following installation, we discovered the product wasn’t fit for purpose. Now someone is going to have to pay for it to be replaced.”

No architect or interior designer wants to make that statement. And no one wants to ask: "What's the cost of replacing stonework? And who's going to pay for it?" But with the new European Standards, natural stone specification is more complex than it used to be. We're asked these questions far more often than you might think.

Is the design team at fault for specifying the wrong product? It’s far better to minimise your risks before the stone is installed rather than hope for the best or count the cost afterwards.

Our highly knowledgeable team of consultants have been helping architects and interior designers specify and select the correct stone for 30 plus years. Our detailed technical knowledge of stone and our ability to ensure compliance with the latest Building Regulations means you don’t need to know the minute detail of CE Marking and the Codes of Practice - we’ll do it all for you.

Whether you’re selecting marble, granite, limestone, sandstone and quartzite for interior or exterior applications, we’ll work alongside you to ensure your specification only includes stone that works in the environment you want them to. Contact us to discuss the stonework for your project.

Finding the balance between competitiveness and quality is a challenge for most of the trade packages you procure, but when you take into account an expensive, unpredictable natural material with notoriously long lead times, that challenge just got even bigger.

We’ve known commercial managers with years of experience whimper with apprehension when they are handed the ‘poisoned chalice’ of stone procurement! Usually the entire site team from the Contracts Director to the Site Agent all know that it’s important to let the stone contract early. Yet it rarely happens. Why? Is it because it’s difficult to compare tenders? Is it complacency on the part of the QS? Or could it be more to do with confidence?
You can’t be expected to know the ‘ins and outs’ of every trade. If you find yourself with the responsibility for a stonework package, and you want to avoid an expensive learning curve, feel free to call on our 30 plus years of stone contracting experience. We can show you how to reduce costs, minimise your risk and deliver your project successfully. We offer this as a free service to Contractors and Developers.
Whether your stone package is for internal fit out, external stone cladding or hard landscaping, we’ll work with you to ensure the material and installation is fully compliant with the Building Regs, and is delivered on time and on budget. Contact us to discuss the stone package for your project.
