Custom stone fabrication and CAD to stone production in China.

Keep drawing revisions and component schedules linked, and identify the current version for each part being priced. Include a plan or elevation, sections where thickness or depth matters, units of measure, overall dimensions, quantities, and a short note describing where each component will be used. If a BOQ or room schedule exists, identify its revision and link each line to a drawing number. This helps the buyer and supplier discuss the same scope instead of comparing assumptions hidden in separate files.

If the final CAD set is not ready, send the best available dimensions, marked-up sketches, reference images, and a list of open decisions. Label provisional information as provisional. A preliminary review can identify missing dimensions or conflicting references, but it should not be mistaken for a production-ready drawing or a fixed quotation. Agree which file controls if a schedule and a drawing show different quantities or sizes.

For each cut-to-size part, distinguish the finished dimension from the cabinet opening, wall opening, or raw material size. Mark the visible face, finished edges, backsplashes, returns, joints, curves, cut-outs, and any fixing or service openings. Add a template or coordinate dimensions for sink, faucet, drain, electrical, or mounting points when they apply. A photograph can show intent, but it usually cannot establish dimensions or the location of an opening accurately enough for fabrication.

Set the required tolerance against the component and its adjoining parts. A countertop meeting a cabinet, a wall panel aligning with a reveal, and a decorative piece with a loose fit have different measurement risks. Confirm tolerances in the project quotation and in the approved drawing set; do not assume one general tolerance applies to every material, shape, or installation. When site conditions may change a dimension, identify who measures it and when that measurement becomes final.

State the preferred stone, color family, finish, thickness, and visible face, or provide a sample or product reference for discussion. Natural stone variation means a name or photograph alone does not guarantee a particular vein, shade, or pattern. For bookmatched surfaces, paired pieces, or repeated hotel units, show which components must be reviewed together and explain what kind of visual match matters to the project.

Ask how current availability, lot selection, natural variation, finishing, and the intended wet or public-area use affect the proposed scope. Confirm any sample, slab, or finish approval before the final production release. The project team should also agree who accepts the selected appearance and how a change in material or finish affects cost, schedule, and replacement pieces. This page does not imply that every stone or finish is suitable for every application.

For multi-room or multi-unit work, group parts by room type, floor, area, or another identifier used on the project's drawings. Keep standard, mirrored, handed, and exception pieces distinct. Show piece marks on the drawings and repeat the same marks in the BOQ or component schedule. A shared naming system helps reviewers trace a quantity back to its location and reduces ambiguity when revisions add, remove, or change parts.

List the quantity by component and state whether spares, samples, mock-ups, or replacement parts are included. If work is released in batches, identify which drawing revision and material decision each batch follows. Confirm how approved changes will be communicated and whether earlier pieces remain valid. These planning details make repeat orders easier to quote and check; they do not by themselves establish production capacity or guarantee that natural stone pieces will look identical.

Before fabrication is authorized, agree who approves the drawing revision, material choice, visible face, edge details, openings, quantities, and finish. Keep the approved revision and any exceptions in a place the buyer, designer, and supplier can reference. If a sample or first-piece review is needed, state what it is meant to confirm, who reviews it, and whether production waits for that decision. A quotation, rendering, or reference image is not a substitute for approval of the actual project dimensions.

Define the checks that matter for the order, such as overall dimensions, opening locations, edge completion, finish, piece identification, and visible stone character. Ask which items can be recorded and when those records are available. Inspection scope should match the written order and the evidence actually supplied for it. Do not assume an unlisted test, certification, inspection record, or pass result is included. A clear checklist gives buyers a way to compare offers and agree on responsibility before work starts.

Stone fabrication, site measurement, cabinetry, plumbing, and installation can involve different parties. Mark the hand-off between them in the project brief. State whether dimensions come from approved construction drawings, a site survey, a cabinet maker, or a final field measurement, and identify who confirms them. If walls, cabinets, or adjacent finishes are not complete, note which dimensions may change and what event makes them final.

The page describes fabrication and export preparation; it does not establish that local site measuring or installation is included. Buyers should name the installer or local contractor when the component depends on site conditions, and confirm who resolves a fit issue if the measured opening differs from the drawing. This boundary affects the quotation, schedule, packaging, and coordination plan. It also helps keep fabrication dimensions separate from installation allowances that need approval from the project team.

Packing requirements depend on the part's shape, edges, openings, visible surfaces, and the way pieces will be handled after dispatch. State which surfaces need protection, whether fragile parts should travel with a set, how parts should be labeled, and whether packages should be grouped by room, floor, or installation sequence. If the buyer or forwarder has handling rules, share them before the scope is priced so the proposed packing can be checked against the actual route.

Provide the destination, requested delivery term, receiving constraints, and any documents or labels the buyer expects. Confirm who arranges freight, insurance, customs clearance, unloading, and last-mile handling rather than assuming those services are included in fabrication. The final quotation should list its packing and delivery scope, open decisions, and any buyer-provided requirements. No fixed freight price or transit time can be inferred without the destination, shipment details, carrier, and agreed delivery terms.
