Gate 1 — Material
Colour and vein consistency against the approved sample; fissures, cracks and contamination rejected.
—Factory & quality control
From block to sealed container.
Production is a sequence of checkpoints, not a single final inspection. Each stage has acceptance criteria and a record you can review before the vessel sails.
01Factory & quality control
Production sequence
- 01
Block selection
Blocks are inspected for colour consistency, fissures and soundness before they enter the yard.
- 02
Sawing
Diamond wire and gang saws cut to slab thickness; slabs are numbered and tracked against the order.
- 03
Fabrication
Cut-to-size, profiling, edge work and drilling are completed from the approved shop drawing.
- 04
Surface finishing
Polished, honed, flamed, brushed, sandblasted, bush-hammered or split-face, applied to the approved sample.

Three gates: slab selection, finished dimensions and surface, then packing and loading.
