Independent natural stone inspections
The material approved for the project must remain identifiable throughout the supply process. We support clients, designers and contractors in stone selection and technical checks, from quarry to construction site.
Samples and specifications
Definition of reference samples and comparison criteria: appearance, finish, dimensions and performance required by the project.
Material selection
Checks on blocks and the visible characteristics of the stone, with particular attention to the variability of material intended for the project.
Checks at the processing plant
Comparison of slabs and finished elements against approved samples and specifications: appearance, finish, dimensions and piece identification.
Before delivery
Checks on batches, markings and supply documentation. Any discrepancies are recorded with photographs and technical observations.
Delivered material
Checks on whether the delivered material corresponds to the approved material and project requirements; technical assessment of identified issues.
Testing when needed
Visual checks can be supplemented by physical and mechanical tests selected according to the material and its application.
Documented findings at every stage
The inspection programme is agreed with the client before the assignment begins: inspection points, acceptance criteria and reporting arrangements.
3D block reconstruction before purchase
Partial or complete geometric reconstructions to support block inspection and assessment. Explore two three-dimensional examples directly on the website, with rotation and zoom.
