The block is selected from a quarry we own and operate. Selection is on character, translucency, vein behaviour, and structural soundness — not on what is closest to the loading bay. Block-matching for multi-piece installations begins here, before a single cut is made.
The block is slabbed in our own factory. Slabbing decisions — the angle, the thickness, the sequence — determine how the stone will read in the room. They are made by the people who will eventually fit it.
Cutting, polishing, edge work, bookmatching, and templating. For backlit pieces, calibration on our backlight rig before approval. The slab is reviewed, photographed, and signed off — by the client and by us — before it leaves the factory.
Installed by our team, on site, to drawing. For international projects, shipped under our own logistics and installed either by our travelling team or by a contractor working to our installation drawings.
For clients who engage us beyond the stone, the installation sits inside a programme we are running — with the trades, the site, the surveyor, and the handover all under the same roof.
Most stone is sourced in stage one, sold in stage three, and installed in stage four — by three different firms. Each handover is a moment where the brief gets thinner and the accountability gets blurrier. We have removed the handovers.
