Answer

How does Giallo Siena marble get from the block to the site?

The forms it is cut into

In one chain rather than through intermediaries: design, sourcing, production, quality control, export, freight, installation abroad and the labour that completes it are held together. The stone is sold the way a project needs it bought, not the way a single slab happens to be sold.

The figures

StepWhat it coversSource
DesignThe drawing is read before the block is chosenService chain
SourcingBlocks selected by figure, slab size and batchService chain
ProductionCutting, filling, polishing and profilingService chain
QualityThickness, flatness, polish, edge and matching checked before the bundle closesService chain
ExportDocuments, packing and loading port chosen against the shipping lineService chain
FreightSea or air; FOB, CIF or deliveredService chain
InstallationSetting out, fixing and jointing on siteService chain

Why this stone behaves this way

A natural stone crosses more hands than a manufactured product, and each hand is a place for the order to change. Holding the chain means the thickness that is checked is the thickness that ships and the batch that is promised is the batch that arrives.

What these figures are, and what they are not Where the destination allows it, installation is done by our own people. It is not offered everywhere and the quotation says which is which.
