Architectural Stone and Building
Chinese granite tile and slab in seven colours, from uniform pale greys to strong reds and dark contrast stones.
What Goes Wrong in This Sector
Natural variation is not a defect, but it is a risk
Granite varies between blocks. On a large floor, that variation is the difference between a finished job and a rejected one.
Contrast details sourced separately
The field stone comes from one supplier and the border from another. The thicknesses do not match and the finishes read differently.
Approval based on a screen image
Stone approved from a photograph and rejected on delivery is the most expensive mistake in the category.
What We Do About It
Seven colours in one programme, so field and contrast stone ship together in matching thickness and finish
Physical samples sent for approval before production
QC staff controlling every production procedure rather than inspecting only at the end

Can I buy across several categories in one shipment?
Yes. Consolidation across divisions into one container is standard practice here, and it is usually the more efficient way to buy.
What information should I send with an enquiry?
Models, sizes or part numbers, quantities, destination port and your preferred Incoterm. That is enough to return a quotation with a loading plan.
