Process

How it works

  1. 1
    Submit your request

    Tell us what you need: dimensions, finishes, quantities, and timeline. We ask the right questions so factories quote accurately.

  2. 2
    We quote from vetted factories

    We get comparative quotes from 2–3 factories on our roster who've shipped this category to Australia before. You see the factory price, our fee, and full landed cost.

  3. 3
    Production with QC oversight

    Once you approve, we manage production milestones and run a pre-shipment inspection with photos and a defect log before anything leaves the factory floor.

  4. 4
    Freight, customs, and delivery

    We coordinate sea freight, customs clearance, and door-to-site delivery in Australia. One invoice, one point of contact.

FAQ

Common questions about stone

  • Is engineered stone from China safe to use after the Australian ban?
    The Australian ban covers engineered stone products containing crystalline silica above 1%. Silica-free alternatives are now available from Chinese factories, including quartz-free engineered stone and porcelain benchtops, which are fully legal and perform comparably. We only source compliant products.
  • How do I specify the exact colour and veining I want?
    We send you physical samples before production (or can reference specific slab codes from Italian quarry books that Chinese factories replicate). For custom colourways, we can also produce small sample tiles before committing to a full slab order.
  • What are typical lead times for stone?
    Stock slabs in standard colours can ship within 2–3 weeks. Finished benchtops cut to template need 3–5 weeks ex-factory plus 4–6 weeks sea freight. We can airfreight urgent orders when needed.
