New Build Masonry Services: traditional expertise for modern buildings

Clients and their designers maintain an appetite for using natural stone for their new buildings and alteration to existing building stock. Procured from proven sustainable sources, the popularity of stone is undiminished.

Our knowledge of traditional masonry construction including stone, terracotta and faience, ensures we are able to advise on material selection and detailing at an early stage, which often saves time later in a project.

Our ability to manage the whole production process and masons fixing experiences enhance each project we work on. From a logistical perspective, busy city centre sites benefit from our shared practical knowledge as it feeds into the bespoke and often ‘just in time’ ethos of today’s projects.

Stonewest’s international team represents a wealth of knowledge in the design and material supply of stone cladding, interiors, hard landscaping, faience and restoration. We offer a fully managed service from design to material supply and site installation incorporating procurement programmes, value engineering and stringent quality management.

We are able to offer advice on the selection and use of natural stone, terracotta and faience drawing on our diverse range of trusted suppliers. We can also arrange visits to quarries, provide samples, technical data, testing and advise on lead times and availability of materials. Furthermore, our team can advise on buildability and value engineering solutions to create and provide efficiency in the detailed designs of not just the masonry, but also the primary structure and coordinated works.

Stonewest will advise on planning in the early stages of a project and will produce a programme and logistics plan, along with any other required information such as key dates for information, testing and handovers.
