For commercial complexes, hotels, and landmark projects, stone is a supply-chain decision. Expert consultation aligns material selection, specs, delivery, and compliance to cut change orders and delays.
What we solve:
– Material & application: Granite facade weathering/absorption; marble vein-matching and slip rating; thickness vs. mesh/backing.
– Tech & standards: EN/ASTM data, gloss/flatness tolerances, edge finishing; mock-up acceptance criteria.
– Production & delivery: Rolling scheduling, split shipments by building/site milestones; batch color control and numbering; urgent replenishment via air/LCL.
– Logistics & Incoterms: FCL to CY, LCL to CFS; FOB/CFR/CIF vs. DDU/DDP cost/risks; destination clearance outsourcing.
– Docs & compliance: Invoice, packing list, BL, COO, ISPM‑15 wood packaging; accurate HS code (e.g., 6802) and duty estimates.
– Risk & warranty: Moisture control in wet season, desiccants, reinforced A‑frames; arrival damage reports and insurance claims (recommend ICC(A) all‑risk).
Notes:
– Marble: Use e‑layout + dry‑lay approval (1–3 days) for consistent installation.
– Granite: Prioritize batch consistency and mechanical performance; e‑layout usually not needed.
Consultation flow:
– Requirement intake (BOQ, drawings, destination, Incoterms)
– Technical review (material match and spec optimization)
– Delivery plan (milestones, split‑shipment Gantt, CY/CFS nodes)
– Costing (multi‑option quotes and risk alternatives)
– Execution tracking (loading photos, numbering ledger, arrival report)
