Granite for Hotels and Multifamily Developments

Stone procurement changes character at unit-count scale. A custom home forgives improvisation; a 200-key hotel or 300-unit multifamily project does not. Three disciplines separate smooth programs from expensive ones.

Lock the stone palette to one or two consistent varieties, fix edge profiles and dimensions by unit type, and produce a dimension schedule the factory can run repeatedly. Prefabricated tops — produced to unit types with cutouts and finished edges — usually beat custom fabrication economics well below the hundred-unit mark.

Containers should arrive by construction phase, packed and labeled by building or floor, with attic stock included for damage and future repairs. A container that arrives six weeks early costs storage; six weeks late costs the schedule. Build the shipping plan against the construction calendar, not the factory's convenience.

The signature risk of long programs is drift: phase-three material that no longer matches phase one. Control samples approved at program start, bundle photography reviewed against them before each shipment, and single-source block planning where possible are the countermeasures. They cost days up front and save weeks at punch list.
