Stonemasonry for Builders, Architects and Designers

What we take on

We price and build the stonework package on your project, from a single feature fireplace to the full facade and landscape stonework on a new home. We work to your drawings, specifications and finishes schedule, and we will flag anything that needs resolving before the stone is ordered.

• Sandstone facade cladding, piers, columns and window and door reveals
• Fireplaces, chimney breasts, hearths and internal feature walls
• Sandstone retaining and garden walls, built to the engineer's design where required
• Steps and staircases in sawn sandstone, blocks or bluestone
• Crazy paving, sawn flagging, pool coping and pool feature walls
• Heritage repairs, repointing and matching of existing stone

How we work with your team

We fit our work into your programme and keep the site manager informed about stone deliveries, access and what we need from other trades before we start, such as substrates, footings, slab levels and flashings. Where a detail affects the stone, such as fixing to a lightweight wall or the clearances around a gas fireplace, we raise it early so it is solved on paper rather than on site.

On heritage and high-end work, we can prepare sample panels so you and your client can sign off on stone, coursing, joints and finish before the main work goes ahead.

Stone supply and matching

We supply Sydney sandstone in sawn, split-face and rock-face finishes, as well as limestone, bluestone and travertine, and we can install stone supplied by you or your client. For alterations and heritage work, we source recycled sandstone or hand-dress new stone to match the existing work.
