OUR SERVICES
- The consulting and inspection services are directly and exclusively performed by Geom. Franco Barsi and Dott. Massimiliano Barsi utilizing their expertise, meeting with Clients, Architects, Quarries and Stone fabricators as necessary before and during the stone fabrication.
- We are flexible, according to project requirements, to visit quarries in any country, to provide reports about quality and availability of marbles, limestones and granites. We also assist at the execution and procurement of testing specimens during technical testing if required.
- Based upon the Architects requirements we can review the proposed stone range at the nominated tenders and coordinate the stone presentation.
- Before the final stone selection is made by the Architects, we are available to give our full assistance for focused stone researches and inquiry on stones availability and possible stone alternatives.
- During fabrication we provide continuous monitoring and quality control of the stones in fabrication reporting our client on job progress on blocks procurement, slabbing progress, finishing, cut to size, crating and shipping by weekly reports.
- For special stone areas where layout in plant and piece by piece inspection is required, we can provide our assistance and certificates of approval.
PROCUREMENT - QC OF STONE BLOCKS IN QUARRY
SLAB SELECTION AND SAMPLING
SLAB MAPPING
Quality begins at the quarry. The early detection of defects and check of aesthetical requisites is aimed to reduce the amount of waste material, to optimize the production line and the final work result consequently.
Every natural stone material has its specific features and our experience and awareness allow us to identify materials that bring our contractor/clients to the higher standards and requirements.
Process directed to control the natural features included in the stone material (from veins to spots, rust or crystallizations or background tonalities) when considered as aesthetic defects or not required in the final design result.
DRY LAY - ON SITE SUPPORT
PHOTO/OPERATIONAL REPORTING
STONE TESTING & DESIGN SERVICES
Through the dry lay check, in which we firmly trust, we have the ability to correct laying mistakes and to prevent imperfections in time before crating and then before the final installation process. Thus, we reach the best overall appearance and result, to match the composition/blending quality requirements.
We provide complete support and a detailed sight of the work in progress process and final state of the art, stone choice and criteria for the cut and dry lay.
Support on testing the several performance aspects of natural stones for exterior and interior building purposes.
Detail problem solving support and result virtual simulations.
