What happens at each stage

1. Order

Send us the material, sizes, finish, quantity and destination, or your drawings. We reply with a quotation, lead time and samples if needed. Once details are confirmed, the contract lists every specification, tolerance and packing requirement, so both sides know exactly what will be delivered.

2. Production

We select blocks at the quarry for colour and quality, then cut them into slabs on gang saws or wire saws. Slabs are cut to size, finished and edged, including CNC work for curved or custom pieces. Every piece is checked against the contract before it is packed in fumigated or heat-treated wooden crates and labelled.

3. Shipping

We book the vessel, load and secure the container, and send you loading photos. The container is trucked to port, export customs are declared and cleared, and the goods are loaded on board. You then receive the bill of lading, commercial invoice, packing list, fumigation certificate and certificate of origin as required.

Updates at every step

During production we send photos and videos of your stone, so you can see the work before it is packed. Third-party inspection or a visit to our factories can be arranged at any stage. For small orders we also offer LCL and DDP delivery with duties and customs clearance included, so the stone arrives at your door without extra paperwork.
