We believe that a close working relationship between the designer of a structure
and the craftsmen who will fabricate the stone for that project - from the earliest
design phases through fabrication - is the best assurance of success.

How we work with architects:
Consulting
- We work in consultation
with architects from all over
the world to help them achieve
their design objectives.
We help architects
select the proper dimensional
stone in terms of type,
color, thickness, and split
characteristics.
Budgeting
- While architects often know
what panel size they need,
we can provide general guidelines
on size, finish, and detailing
elements, and suggest cost
efficient solutions.
Drafting
Services - Fletcher
Granite provides full drafting
services for projects large
and small. Our experienced
draftsmen, using CAD systems,
develop detailed shop drawings
of each stone of a project.
Drawings are sent to the architect
for approval. Once approved,
we fabricate the stones and
get them ready to ship to
the job site.

3-part specification form.
Template
Room - We provide
workspace that customers may
use to lay out full-size templates
of stones before final drawings
are approved.
Engineering
- Fletcher Granite does not
typically provide engineering
services in connection with
installing dimensional stones.
Timing
- Whether the project proceeds
in a phased, fast track, or
traditional pace, we strive
to complete every project
on time and within budget.
Quality
Assurance - All
granite shipped by Fletcher

of cracks, seams, starts,

or appearance. Color, texture,

the range of samples approved
