SHOP DRAWINGS

How are we going to fabricate and install this? This question we always ask ourselves. We strive to answer it with simplicity and practicality in our shop drawings.  Attention to detail, careful planning, constructability, and a project-specific approach is the key to a successful design. We invest our time and resources in research, asking simple questions to doers, and developing new ways that set our standards high.

QUANTITY SURVEY

We approach the estimating process as a mock-up for our design.  We sift through the design intent for overlooked designs and meticulously integrate the solution in our estimating process.  A process that is unique in every project we do.

CONSULTING

We provide exterior natural stone consulting that easily used to support better decision making and consistent communication.  We collectively focus on attaining the design intent with constructability in mind and healthy project finances.  We have access to an interdependent team in the stone industry, from business owners to practical doers.  We presently provide our consulting services exclusively to a small group of particular clients, and we’re looking forward to serving more.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Deadlines. Critical path. Lead times. Crisis management. We realize project management can get hectic—the reason we are offering our services for some of your time-consuming but straightforward critical tasks. We can integrate your project-specific needs in the early stages of our work process.  Let’s discuss them and brainstorm. We’re here to help.
