For design and trade teams

Project-specific trade collaboration

A working framework for designers, specifiers, procurement teams, dealers and contractors who need traceable stone information and clear responsibility boundaries.
Trade access, pricing, minimum order quantities, credit, territory, exclusivity, white-labelling, file formats and capacity are not standard entitlements. Each is subject to written review and agreement.

Who this is for

Four working contexts

Designers, dealers, procurement teams and contractors each need different, traceable information.

Architects, interior and landscape designers

A reviewable material, dimension, finish and interface basis that can be coordinated with the wider design.

  • Project stage and intended setting
  • Dimensioned concept information and relevant interfaces
  • Aesthetic references the team is authorised to share
  • Required sample, drawing and approval decisions

Dealers and showrooms

A lawful supply and presentation model with product identity, territory, branding, customer-support and order responsibilities kept explicit.

  • Business identity, sales channel and proposed territory
  • Target categories, order pattern and display requirements
  • Requested packaging, documentation and branding
  • Who contracts with and supports the end customer

Procurement and hospitality teams

Comparable scope, quantity, variation, inspection, packing and phased-delivery information.

  • Schedule of quantities and locations
  • Approved design authority and review route
  • Natural-variation and sample requirements
  • Delivery sequence, import plan and receiving constraints

Contractors and installers

Final piece, crate, mass and interface records that can be checked against the actual site and installation method.

  • Verified site dimensions, datums and tolerances
  • Access, lifting, storage and sequencing constraints
  • Foundation, support and fixing design by the responsible party
  • Required handover format and named technical contact

Collaboration areas

What can be scoped per project

Each area is available only within the boundary stated; nothing here is a standard entitlement.

Project specification pack

Scope confirmed in the quotation

A revision-controlled record can be assembled around the decisions the project team actually needs to make.

  • Product or piece reference, revision and document status
  • Stone identity, current sample or batch link and accepted variation basis
  • Overall dimensions, piece count, available mass data and units
  • Face, edge and finish references
  • Datums, stated tolerances and intended interfaces
  • Fixing assumptions and matters reserved for the responsible local designer
  • Packing, crate identification, handling cautions and care information

A specification pack is not automatically a structural calculation, installation design, method statement, BIM object, test certificate or declaration of regulatory compliance. Any such item requires an identified competent author and explicit scope.

Samples, maquettes and prototypes

Purpose and cost agreed per project

Physical review material can be useful when its source, scale, purpose and relationship to the final work are stated.

  • Named stone and finish sample
  • Range sample to discuss expected natural variation
  • Current block imagery where available and relevant
  • Finish or detail trial
  • Maquette or prototype where included in the design scope
  • Approval label, date, reviewer and stated limitations

A single sample does not guarantee an exact colour, vein pattern or final-piece appearance. Availability, ownership, return, shipping and approval effect must be agreed in writing.

White-label or own-brand supply

On application

A proposed own-brand arrangement can be reviewed only after the parties, sales channel, product scope and customer responsibilities are understood.

  • Permitted brand presentation and product naming
  • Packaging artwork, inserts and document ownership
  • Order, approval and change-control route
  • Required producer, origin, importer or safety information
  • End-customer sales, support, complaints and remedy responsibilities
  • Design rights, image rights, confidentiality and territory

No white-label service, exclusivity, territory or removal of legally required information is promised by this page. An arrangement must not create a false account of origin, authorship, production method, certification or prior experience.

Multi-piece, repeat and volume projects

Feasibility and capacity on application

Quantity work is reviewed against the actual design, stone source, acceptable variation, production method, inspection plan and delivery sequence.

  • Piece schedule, quantities and repeated versus unique components
  • Block or batch strategy and natural-variation controls
  • Reference sample, mock-up or first-article approval
  • Numbering, dry-layout and location schedule
  • Inspection plan and phased release points
  • Crate strategy, consolidated packing list and phased delivery

The words bulk or repeat do not guarantee identical natural appearance, a fixed minimum quantity, reserved capacity or a volume discount. Those points are assessed and quoted for the defined order.

Drawings and digital files

Formats confirmed before appointment

Files should be exchanged only when their purpose, format, revision, ownership and authorised recipients are clear.

  • PDF approval information as defined in the quotation
  • Dimension schedules and piece references
  • Fabrication or coordination exports where operationally available
  • A transmittal stating revision, status, units and intended use

No public CAD, BIM, native 3D, portal or secure-file service is promised. Do not send confidential plans, private addresses or third-party intellectual property through an unapproved route.

Inspection and handover records

Inspection scope agreed in advance

The document set can follow the approved pieces from a defined pre-dispatch review into packing and receiving.

  • Piece identity, measured checks and visible-condition evidence
  • Recorded exceptions, remedial work and decision status
  • Packing list, crate marks and available mass data
  • Shipping information applicable to the agreed delivery route
  • Product-interface and care information included in the project scope

Inspection is limited to the stated method and accessible conditions. It does not replace structural review, safe unloading, site verification or installation checks by the responsible local team.

Commercial position

Terms on application

No pricing, discount, MOQ, credit, territory or SLA is published; each is confirmed for a defined scope.
Trade pricing or discount
On application for the defined scope. No percentage, price list or automatic entitlement is published.
Minimum order quantity

Credit and payment
Subject to written commercial review and project terms. No open account or credit period is promised.
Territory or exclusivity
Not implied. Any limited arrangement requires a written product, channel, territory, term and performance basis.
White-labelling

Capacity and lead time
Confirmed only for an approved specification, quantity, material source and delivery plan; there is no universal SLA.
Delivery and import
The quotation identifies the Incoterms® rule and named place where used, importer, clearance, duties, taxes, unloading and final-mile scope.

Trade enquiry checklist

What to include in a trade enquiry

  1. 01Legal business name, website, country and primary contact
  2. 02Your role in the design, purchase, resale or installation chain
  3. 03Project type, intended setting and destination
  4. 04Approximate dimensions, quantity and unique versus repeated pieces
  5. 05Proposed stone, finish, appearance range and reference status
  6. 06Required samples, drawings, file formats, inspections and approvals
  7. 07Target-on-site date and required phasing, stated as project inputs

  9. 09Any requested branding, territory, confidentiality or design-rights arrangement

Trade discussion

Discuss a lawful trade supply model

Tell us your role in the chain, the project and what you need to review; terms follow qualification and a written agreement.

An enquiry is not an order. Feasibility, scope, price, programme and delivery terms are confirmed in writing before either party makes a commercial commitment.
