Stop Texting Your Fabricator. Why the “Master Stone Spec Sheet” is Mandatory.

The worst moment in an architect’s career isn’t losing a client—it’s the moment the $25,000 Calacatta Viola slabs arrive on site. Why? Because the stone is beautiful, but the veins are cut randomly, not flowing as you envisioned.

You call the fabricator. “I told you on the phone!” you scream. He replies: “You just said ‘make it look good,’ so we minimized the waste.”

In that moment, you learn a painful lesson: If it’s not written down, it doesn’t exist.

The Problem: The “Assumption” Trap

In the natural stone industry, there is no such thing as “Standard.” To you, a “Honed” finish means a velvety, satin touch. To a workshop, it might just mean a rough, sanded surface. To you, a “Mitered Edge” must be razor-sharp. To them, it might include a heavy chamfer.

You cannot manage these details via WhatsApp messages or site visits. That is playing Russian Roulette with your budget.

The Solution: A Contract-Grade Specification

At Stone Moods, we believe the difference between a professional and an amateur is documentation. That’s why we created the “Master Stone Specification Sheet”—an industry-standard, gap-free document designed to protect your vision.

This document is not paperwork. It is your Insurance Policy.
