Single headstones
to two hundred niches.
Most of what leaves the works is one of twelve kinds of job. Some are a crate; some are a year of phased containers. The route through the plant is the same — what changes is how long the stone is held on one block run.
Twelve kinds
of job.
Tell us which of these your enquiry is closest to and the quotation, the lead time and the packing all follow from it.
Columbaria & niche banks
TypicallyCremation gardens
Banks built up from single units, with fronts trial-fitted to their own openings before crating.
Mausoleums
TypicallyPrivate & community
Dry-built at the works, then coded and crated in the order the setting crew puts it up.
Memorial & name walls
TypicallyVeterans & donor
Panel runs laid out so later names continue the same setting rather than being squeezed in.
Memorial chapels
TypicallyCemetery structures
Domes, columns and portals cut, assembled and corrected here before anything ships.
Whole-plot memorial sets
TypicallyRussia & CIS
Monument, kerbs, cover, vases and lantern held to one block run and crated together.
Facade cladding
TypicallyTowers & civic
Panels with anchor slots cut to the fixing drawing, crated by floor or zone.
Plazas & paving
TypicallyPublic realm
Large-format slabs and setts with a flamed or bush-hammered face for grip underfoot.
Hotel & interior fit-out
TypicallyLobbies & rooms
Floors, feature walls, counters and vanities from one reservation so the scheme holds together.
Staircases & steps
TypicallyInterior & external
Treads, risers and landings with worked nosings, piece-marked to the setting drawing.
Landscaping & hardscape
TypicallyGardens & estates
Kerbs, cobbles, boulders, edging and water features from matching block runs.
Mosque & religious work
TypicallyCourtyards & interiors
Columns, portals, mihrab surrounds and courtyard paving cut to the architect's sheet.
Blocks & slabs to processors
TypicallyRaw material
Block runs reserved and shipped to workshops that cut and finish in their own plant.
Selected work
in detail.
What the buyer needed, what made the job particular, and how it was produced and shipped.
Hospitality project
Hotel stonework, Saudi Arabia
MarketSaudi Arabia
Product[Cladding / flooring / steps — confirm]
Stone[Stone name — confirm]
Scale[Area or container count — confirm]
A hotel package for a Saudi buyer, supplied from the works in Tamil Nadu. [Replace with what the scope actually covered — which areas of the building, which finishes, and what the buyer needed to see approved before production started.]
The requirement was held on one block run so the shade stayed constant across the whole job, and the load was crated and released to the site programme. [Add the phasing, the lead time and anything the buyer said afterwards.]
Sculpture project
Buddha statue, Thailand
MarketThailand
ProductCarved Buddha statue
Stone[Stone name — confirm]
Scale[Height and weight — confirm]
A carved Buddha figure for a Thai theme park — the kind of work that is roughed out by machine and then finished entirely by hand, because the face, the hands and the fall of the robe are what the piece is judged on. [Replace with the height, the posture and who the client was.]
Carving of this scale is cut from a single block wherever the block allows it, with progress photographs sent at roughing and again at detail. [Add the block size, the carving time, and how it was braced and crated for shipping.]
How a project
actually runs.
The block reservation is the step that matters. Everything after it is scheduling; almost everything that goes wrong on a phased job goes wrong before it.

Once a project's stone is held on one run, phase three still matches phase one. Released piecemeal against a rising market, it rarely does — and no amount of care on the polishing line fixes that afterwards.
