How do you handle stone deliveries above ground level?

Through the main contractor's hoist schedule. We book slots in advance, stage material on the level where it will be laid, and keep stacked loads inside the slab limits the engineer has specified.

Can you hold a level-per-week programme?

On a repeated core, yes — typically one level every five to eight days once the control level is signed off and material supply is consistent. The labour that rate requires is stated at tender.

Do you provide flatness records for lobby floors?

Yes. We record slab flatness before and after preparation and issue it with the handover pack, because a lipping complaint six months later is almost always a substrate argument.

Office tower tiling

Ground-floor stone that carries the building's reputation, and amenity cores repeated identically up thirty levels.

Book-matched stone: Dry laid and approved before fixing
Movement joints: Placed on the structural grid

The package

An office tower has two tiling packages inside one contract. The ground-floor lobby is a stone job where the client will stand at the entry and look down the length of the floor. Everything above it is a repetition job: the same amenity core, the same end-of-trip facility, level after level, each one sequenced against the hoist.

Tower work lives or dies on logistics. Material has to arrive on the right level in the right sequence, because a pallet of stone on the wrong floor is a crane movement nobody budgeted. We plan deliveries around the hoist schedule, stage material with the main contractor, and keep the load within the slab limits the engineer has given us.

Lobby stone with no tolerance for lipping

Grazing light across a lobby floor exposes every high edge. We grind and level the slab to a measured flatness before a tile is opened, then set out so the pattern runs to the entry axis and the lift doors.

Repeated cores, identical every time

Amenity cores are built from a fixed set-out sheet issued after the control level is approved. The tiler on level 22 works to the same drawing as the tiler on level 3.

Hoist-scheduled deliveries

Material is booked to the hoist with the main contractor's logistics manager, staged on the level it is needed, and distributed within the slab loading limits set by the engineer.

Movement joints on the structural grid

Tall buildings move. Movement joints are set out on the structural grid and at every perimeter, not placed where they are least visible, because the joint is what stops the floor from tenting later.
