Project delivery
Stone delivery and installation
The stone detail meets the finished room. We plan site measurements, delivery and fitting within your agreed project scope, with access, supports and adjoining trades considered before installation. From a single worktop to phased stonework, the final dimensions and site conditions guide the work.
Measure
Site dimensions for the stone being made.
Make
Cutting and finishing from final drawings.
Install
Delivery, installation and handover in your quote.
Define the route from workshop to site
Supply-only, delivery and installed work have different handover points. Agree who measures, receives, handles and fits the stone, and identify the supports and service connections that remain with the project’s other trades.
Supply only
We supply the material you choose, once we have checked availability.
Make and collect
We cut and finish your pieces, then arrange collection.
Deliver and install
We deliver and install the stonework in your quote.
The quote and prepared site
Included work
Your quote lists what we supply, make and install, and what's left to other trades.
Cutting, transport, site measure and installation are included only if your quote lists them.
Supports and service connections
Your builder or cupboard maker prepares cupboards, supports and the substrate – the wall, board or base the stone is fixed to. Plumbing and electrical work are separate trades.
See stonework during installation
Each fireplace installation needs its own support, fixing and appliance-clearance details.
Fitting resolves the relationship between the stone and the prepared site. The final detail needs to account for supports, walls, openings and the other surfaces it meets, rather than relying on nominal plan dimensions alone.

A clear route from brief to handover
Each stage settles information needed by the next. An early estimate can begin with rough sizes; fabrication depends on final material and dimensions. Delivery and installation arrangements are reviewed against the actual site and agreed scope.
Fabrication
01
Brief and quantities
Drawings, location, dates and quantities.
02
Material and samples

03
Quote
Supply, fabrication, delivery and installation listed.
04
Site measure
Access, final sizes, openings and supports.
05
Fabrication drawing
You approve the final drawing before we cut.
06
Fabrication
Pieces cut and finished to the drawing.
07
Delivery and handover
Access checked, stonework installed and handed over.
The documents behind the delivery stages
Scope and quantities
For fabrication and fitting, we plan these stages with you. Your quote sets out which stages and documents apply.
A bill of quantities (BOQ) – the itemised list of work to be priced – sets out the quantities.
Fabrication detail and site responsibilities
The fabrication drawing is the drawing we cut from, showing every piece, joint and cut-out. A cut-out is the opening cut for a sink, hob or tap.
We settle site access and who is responsible for final measurements, openings and supports before manufacture. Supply-only and collection jobs follow the stages in their quote.
Prepare the site for the stone
The stone needs the intended supports, final openings and a workable access route. Tell us about stairs, lifts, narrow passages and lifting restrictions early. Cupboards, wall construction and adjoining trades should be ready for the agreed fitting stage.
Access and lifting
You provide unloading space, access limits and estate delivery rules.
Supports and cupboards
Your builder or cupboard maker builds them.
Walls and fixing
Your architect or engineer designs the wall and fixings.
Other trades
Your builder coordinates joinery, waterproofing and tiling.
Fixtures
You provide final sink, hob and tap models and positions.
Protection
You arrange protection after installation and one contact for changes.
Planning access before delivery
Before we set a delivery date, we plan access, supports and other trades with you.

Access and lifting
We check piece sizes and list handling and delivery in your quote.
Unloading space, stairs or lifts, doorway limits, estate delivery rules and lifting equipment.
Supports and cupboards
We tell you what support your stonework needs.
Your builder or cupboard maker completes the supporting construction.
Walls and fixing
We list stone fixing work in your quote.
Your architect or engineer provides the substrate and fixing design.
Other trades
We flag anything that affects measuring or installation.
Your builder coordinates joinery, waterproofing, tiling and adjacent finishes.
Fixtures
We cut openings to your final positions.
Sink, hob, tap, plumbing and electrical models and positions.
Protection
We state how your stonework is handed over.
A plan to protect the stonework after installation, and one contact for changes.
The practical information we need
Send the site location, drawings, selected product and requested timing. Add who manages access and who is responsible for cupboards, supports, plumbing and electrical work. Changes to those details can affect the installation arrangements.
Before we cut
Latest drawings, joints, visible edges, chosen product and finish.
Fixtures
Sink, hob and tap models, with cut-out positions.
Before delivery
Address, access, unloading limits, readiness date and change contact.
Handover and care
At handover, check visible edges, joints and openings against your quote, and tell us about any concern.
Ask which product-specific care guidance is available for handover. Follow the selected product's cleaning and treatment instructions.
Care guidance should refer to the product that has actually been fitted. Ask about cleaning, heat protection and any sealing requirements, and keep product and installation warranty information distinct when reviewing the documents.
Keep the product name and finish with your records
Keep photos, location and job reference for any later concern
Where is your project?
Based in KwaZulu-Natal. Share your project location so we can confirm supply, delivery and installation arrangements.
Location
Tell us your town or suburb and any access restrictions. We confirm delivery and installation in your quote.
Delivery and installation questions
Tell us what changed – cupboards, walls or fixtures – so we can recheck before fabrication or installation continues.
It depends on the pieces. Send the material, sizes, condition and site photos, and we check the installation before setting a date.
We move the delivery date. Tell us as early as you can, and we agree revised dates, storage and any extra costs with you first.
No, those are separate trades. Your quote records the stone installation, and your plumber and electrician handle their connections.
Plan the route to site
Share the stonework, location, requested timing and access conditions. Tell us what is ready and who handles the adjoining trades so delivery and fitting can be discussed clearly.
