Six fields that change the offer
Usable dimensions
Record gross slab size and the clear cutting area. Natural edges and marked defects may alter the yield.
Thickness
Write millimeters or inches explicitly, together with acceptable tolerance and any backing or reinforcement.
Surface approval
Separate polish or honed finish from the visual grade. Review full slab images before approving a small sample.
Quantity basis
Give piece count plus area in m² or sq ft. State whether the takeoff includes cuts, matching and spare material.
Delivery scope
Identify the US destination and unloading constraints. Request separate packing, freight and service cost lines.
Choose the starting point for your stone brief
Whole slab or finished piece
Custom cut scope
A full slab request and a finished countertop request have different quotation boundaries. For cut pieces, include an approved drawing revision, edge profile, sink cutouts and vein direction. For full slabs, ask which face and lot the supplier is pricing.
