STEP 01 / 04 — HOME MEASUREMENT

Precise to the last half-millimetre.

Before any line is drawn, our site team visits your home with a laser scanner, a callipers and an unhurried morning.

We document every plane, every datum, every out-of-square wall — to a tolerance of 0.5mm. The result is a digital twin of your kitchen, vanity or wall surface, which the workshop fabricates from for the rest of the commission. No "while we're here" surprise three months later.

What the home visit includes
  • Faro 3D laser scan of the working space
  • Hand-measured datum check & tolerance report
  • Photographic record of every wall, floor & service
  • Site plan returned within 5 business days

STEP 02 / 04 — PRODUCE DESIGN DRAWINGS

Drawings that look like the finished room.

Based on your measurements, our design team develops the kitchen, bathroom or vanity layout through plans, elevations and stone-panel sections.

You receive a printed and digital pack, plus a 3D walkthrough so you can see the future appearance of your home before a single slab is cut. We work through three rounds until every line is exactly where you want it.

What the design phase includes
  • Three rounds of plans & elevations with named designer
  • 3D walkthrough — viewable on-screen or in VR at our studio
  • Stone-panel sections with proposed bookmatching
  • Itemised quote, locked at design sign-off

STEP 03 / 04 — SELECT COUNTERTOPS & DOOR PANELS

Eighty stones, at full slab size. half-millimetre.

Choose your benchtops and cabinet door panels from over eighty porcelain stone finishes — laid out as full 3200 × 1600mm slabs in our Dandenong South library.

You walk the library with a specifier. Lift two corners. Match the stone to a sample of your timber, your tap, the light through your kitchen window. We pull the actual slab earmarked for your job so you see the exact veining — not a postage-stamp swatch.

What the slab visit includes
  • Walk-through of 84 porcelain stone finishes at full slab size
  • 1:1 corner cut-outs to take home for 14 days
  • Specifier guides you through pattern, finish, scale & format
  • Both formats available: 3200 × 1600 × 12mm & 2700 × 1200 × 6mm
