PROJECT GRANITE PROCUREMENT

What information is needed before sourcing project granite?

Direct answer: A project granite enquiry should include the granite name or physical sample, CAD drawings, dimensions, thickness, quantity, surface finish, tolerance, packing, delivery location or destination port and required arrival date. Complete information keeps quotation scope, production and inspection criteria aligned.

How can buyers verify volume-order capability?

Look for production resources that can be checked, not only promotional claims. Company-provided figures for Kaizhong Stone include a 180-mu production base, 26 large cutting machines, 15 mid-size cutting machines, 11 infrared bridge saws, dispatch capability of 25–30 truckloads per day, approximately 28,000 m³ annual kerbstone capacity and approximately 1.8–2.0 million m² annual slab capacity.

These figures describe underlying resources and do not guarantee a specific order schedule. Review the factory-capacity page, visit the factory or book a live video tour to check blocks, machinery, current production, packing and dispatch.

Which acceptance criteria should be agreed before production?

  1. Approved physical sample and allowed colour range.
  2. Dimensions, thickness, diagonals and custom-detail tolerance.
  3. Surface appearance and exposed-face coverage.
  4. Colour sorting, dry lay, numbering and photography.
  5. Protection, packing, corners, straps and shipping marks.
  6. Sampling, documentation and non-conformance handling.

See the quality-control process. Unverified certificate numbers or test values should not be treated as public commitments.

PROCUREMENT FAQ

Questions project buyers ask

What is the minimum information needed for a granite quotation?

Provide the granite or reference sample, dimensions, thickness, quantity, finish, destination and required arrival date. Include complete drawings for custom components.

How is colour variation controlled for a volume order?

Use an approved physical sample and written variation range, organise production by block batch and agree colour sorting or dry-lay inspection before packing.

When should a buyer inspect the factory?

Inspect before ordering when volume, custom fabrication, a short schedule or complex acceptance criteria create material project risk. Review finished goods and packing again before dispatch.

Does published factory capacity guarantee the project lead time?

No. Capacity data shows underlying production resources. Lead time must be confirmed in writing against material, dimensions, quantity, finish, packing and the current schedule.

How can buyers avoid comparing different quotation scopes?

State whether the quotation is ex-factory, delivered or port-based and list packing, transport, tax, documentation and inspection responsibilities.
