Marble & Granite Quality and Packing
Excellence in material, precision in preparation, and confidence in delivery.
Commitment to Superior Quality
At Build Stone, we pride ourselves on offering premium Egyptian marble and granite that meet the most stringent international standards. Our stone products are carefully selected, expertly processed, and meticulously inspected to ensure optimal performance, durability, and aesthetic appeal for a wide range of applications—residential, commercial, and monumental.
Quality Assurance Protocol
Each product undergoes a multi-stage quality control process to guarantee consistency and reliability:
- Quarry Selection: Only top-grade blocks are selected from Egypt’s leading quarries, such as Galala, Sinai Pearl, Sunny Menia, Silvia, Halayeb, and Aswan Black.
- Block Inspection: Every block is visually and structurally inspected for uniformity in tone, veining, and freedom from cracks or defects.
- Precision Processing: State-of-the-art gang saws and CNC machines are used for dimensionally accurate cutting and shaping.
- Finishing Techniques: A broad selection of finishes is available, including:
- Polished (high gloss)
- Honed (matte, smooth)
- Brushed / Antique
- Flamed (rough-textured)
- Bush-hammered, Sandblasted, Tumbled, Leathered
- Tolerance Control: Thickness variation is maintained within ±1 mm; edge precision is guaranteed through laser calibration.
- Final Inspection & Grading: Products are assessed for:
- Surface clarity and gloss level
- Dimensional accuracy and squareness
- Vein alignment and natural variation control
- Mechanical integrity (no warping, chips, or breakage)
