Specify with confidence. We carry it through.
Material sourcing, samples, specifications, takeoffs, value engineering, shop drawings and installation support, organised around your drawings and your schedule.
01Services
Twelve ways we support a specification.
- Material sourcing
- Domestic and European manufacturers and quarries, including hard-to-find and specialty surfaces.
- Samples
- Samples and larger mock-up boards to your office, or a working session in the showroom.
- Specifications
- Product data, finish schedules and specification language written for your drawings.
- Takeoffs
- Quantities from your plans with overage matched to format and pattern.
- Budgeting
- Early ranges by area, so design decisions are made with cost in view.
- Value engineering
- Alternates that keep the design intent: same look, better lead time or price.
- Shop drawings
- Setting-out plans, slab layouts and vein-match drawings for review.
- Large-format support
- Substrate, access and handling requirements for slabs, before they are drawn in.
- Fabrication coordination
- Countertop and slab fabrication managed from template to install.
- Installation consultation
- Method, sequence and detailing reviewed with the installer before work starts.
- Procurement
- Ordering, lot control and schedule tracking against your programme.
- Logistics
- Staged deliveries, site access and storage planned with the GC.
02Large format
Drawing slabs? Talk to us before they are in the set.
Access routes, substrate flatness, slab layouts and vein matching all affect the drawings. We review them with you early so the design that is issued is the design that gets built.
03Samples
Samples at your office, or a working session here.
We send samples and larger mock-up boards to your studio, or set up the showroom tables with your drawings for a client presentation.
Work with Ideal.
Send a current project and we will set up a working session.
