Finishes & sizes — Formats

Twelve formats,
five ways of pricing.

The same stone is sold by the cubic metre, the square metre, the running metre, the tonne or the piece, depending on how far through its own production you buy it. This page sets out which is which.

Blocks to finished units Quoted per m³, m², rm, tonne or piece Crates, pallets, mesh, bags Mixed loads on one bill Weights per crate

What we ship,
and how it is counted.

Workshops with their own saws buy early in the chain. Dealers and cemeteries buy at the end of it. Most containers carry some of both.

Comparing quotations between suppliers only works if the format and the unit match — a square metre rate for slabs and a piece rate for finished units are not the same number and never will be.

Four ways
it gets packed.

Packing is chosen for the leg after the port, not just for the vessel — most damage happens on the road and at the unloading yard.

Wooden cratesFumigated, strappedMonuments, slabs, cut-to-size and anything with a finished face.
PalletsShrink-wrappedTiles and calibrated stock, stacked face to face with separators.
Mesh & netsCobbles, settsLandscaping lines held on mesh or in nets so they lift straight off the truck.
Bags & boxesPebbles, small itemsPoly bags, jumbo bags and cartons, palletised inside the container.

All timber is fumigated and marked to ISPM 15, so crates clear at your port instead of waiting for treatment.

Per cubic metreBlocks. Dimensions and cubic content stated on the invoice, with the block number carried through to the packing list.
Per square metreSlabs, tiles, cladding and mesh panels — state whether your rate includes the cutting waste or not, because suppliers differ.
Per running metreKerbs and long sections, quoted with the profile and the section size.
Per pieceMonuments, cut-to-size, steps and copings — each line item priced against its own drawing.
Per tonneCobbles, pebbles and aggregate, graded and washed, in nets, bags or bulk crates.
DocumentsPacking list by crate with weights and marks, invoice, bill of lading and certificate of origin prepared in-house.
