The problem with natural stone in building schedules, doesn’t have to be a problem.
Natural stone is one of the most sought-after finishes for outdoor spaces, pools, and feature walls. It’s strong, timeless, and adds value to any property. But for many builders, specifying stone comes with a catch: long lead times, inconsistent sizing, and tricky installation that can blow out a project schedule.
On busy sites, especially coastal or high-end residential builds, delays cost more than just money. They can cause trades to overlap, create knock, on effects for inspections, and damage your reputation with clients.
The good news? With the right supplier and product range, natural stone doesn’t have to slow you down.
Best Practice Tips for Builders
• Confirm all measurements and quantities before ordering to avoid partial deliveries.
• Store stone flat, dry, and shaded onsite to prevent warping or moisture absorption.
• Use adhesives and bedding mixes recommended by the supplier for that specific stone type.
• Always dry lay patterns first to confirm colour and texture flow.
• Seal before grout where applicable to prevent staining.
