PROCUREMENT KNOWLEDGE

Reduce project risk with a clearer granite specification

Direct answer: Project granite procurement should define the application first, then confirm the stone and sample, drawings and dimensions, thickness and tolerance, finish, quantity, inspection method, packing, destination and required arrival date. Volume or custom orders should also verify block batches, machinery, scheduling and pre-dispatch inspection records.
