The problem

The initial brief referenced a Bardiglio-style grey marble. For exterior wet zones we proposed a denser, low-absorption grey limestone with better durability, qualified for the environment and approved from a real sample before anything was committed.

The approach

We optimized the material for exterior performance, structured pricing around the real production route, and engineered the crates for installation rather than transport. Drawings were read against the BOQ and the vein direction marked on every cutting list before anything was cut.

  • Material optimization for exterior performance
  • Pricing logic tied to the production route
  • Packing lists, crate logic and weight planning
  • CAD review and drawings-vs-BOQ reconciliation

Deliver install-ready crates, not loose material, so the crew keeps pace on site with fewer surprises.

The outcome

Phased shipments stayed aligned with site sequencing. The material optimization delivered a cleaner, more consistent grey aesthetic while reducing exterior risk compared to Bardiglio-style marbles. Crate labeling and weight planning reduced last-minute rebooking and on-site friction, protecting schedule and finish consistency at install.
