A Project-Based Approach to Natural Stone Sourcing
Works of Stone operates as a sourcing and supply partner rather than a traditional stone yard. Our process is designed for project teams who need pricing transparency, material consistency, and reliable coordination across multiple stone applications.
We work quarry-direct and project-specific, allowing materials to be sourced, produced, and delivered based on the exact requirements of each project.
Step 1: Project Review & Material Strategy
Every project begins with an understanding of scope, application, and performance requirements.
We review:
- Project type and location
- Interior and exterior stone applications
- Thickness, finishes, and edge details
- Budget parameters and scheduling considerations
This allows us to recommend suitable stone options early and identify opportunities for material consolidation, cost efficiency, and consistency across applications.
Step 2: Quarry Sourcing & Material Selection
Rather than selling from fixed inventory, we source directly from quarries and production facilities in Turkey, Brazil, and other established stone regions.
This approach allows access to:
- A broader range of materials and finishes
- Better control over color tone and veining
- Competitive pricing by eliminating multiple distribution markups
For slab-based projects, material can be sourced from the same block when required to maintain visual continuity.
Step 3: Samples, Slab Selection & Approvals
Once materials are shortlisted, we provide:
- Physical samples or sample boards
- Slab photos or live slab selection when applicable
- Finish and edge detail confirmations
This step ensures alignment with the design intent before production begins. Approvals are documented to minimize discrepancies and avoid surprises later in the process.
Step 4: Production, Finishing & Quality Control
After approval, materials move into production.
We coordinate:
- Cutting, finishing, and sizing
- Finish consistency across batches
- Quality control checks before packing
By remaining involved throughout production, we help ensure that the stone delivered to site reflects what was approved during selection.
Step 5: Consolidation & Logistics Coordination
For projects involving multiple stone products, such as interior slabs, flooring, exterior pavers, and pool copings, we consolidate shipments whenever feasible.
This approach:
- Reduces freight costs
- Simplifies site logistics
- Shortens overall timelines
- Improves consistency across materials
Shipping is coordinated door to door, with clear communication on delivery scope and offloading responsibilities.
Step 6: Delivery & Site Coordination
Materials are delivered to site or designated yards based on project needs.
We support:
- Delivery scheduling coordination
- Clear documentation and packing lists
- Communication with logistics partners
While we do not install materials, we aim to make the supply side predictable and dependable, allowing installers and project teams to focus on execution.
Who This Process Is Best Suited For
Our model is ideal for:
- Architects specifying stone across multiple applications
- Builders managing custom residential or hospitality projects
- Contractors seeking consistent material and simplified sourcing
- Projects where pricing, quality, and coordination matter equally
Works of Stone is not a showroom-based seller. We are a sourcing partner built for projects that require planning, precision, and accountability.
