My method · From quarry to installation

I manage the decisions.
Not just the stone.

I work from the earliest material discussion through sourcing, technical review, 
fabrication planning, delivery, and installation coordination. Each project is different; Thee work begins by understanding the application and the risks. 

01

Project & specification review

I review the design intent, application, drawings, specifications, quantities, finishes, budget and schedule — before a material is approved.

02

Quarry & block selection

I work with quarry owners and producers to assess origin, availability, visual consistency and the suitability of blocks or slabs for the project.

03

Technical risk assessment

I examine potential issues: variation, fissures, finish suitability, tolerances, substrate and installation requirements. Where testing or engineering is needed, I coordinate the right specialists.

04

Samples, mockups & dry layout

I help align approved samples with production material, coordinate mockups and review dry layouts, veining and color before cutting or shipment.

05

Fabrication coordination

I connect projects with qualified fabrication capabilities in the United States, Italy and Turkey, coordinating shop drawings, cut-to-size production, finishing and quality checkpoints.

06

Quality control & logistics

I coordinate inspections, packing requirements, shipping documentation, freight planning and delivery milestones — with visibility into cost and schedule risks.

07

Installation interface

I coordinate with the project's installer, fabricator, architect and contractor to resolve material questions and support a clear handover to the site team.

08

Issue resolution

When unexpected conditions arise, I help evaluate options, connect technical specialists and support practical decisions that protect the design and the project.
