How we work

Carrying out complex construction projects in natural stone is very specialist work. The specialists at Van Stokkum Natuursteen support you as a client as well as providing support to architects in the preliminary phases and throughout the entire course of a project.

Thanks to our extensive experience we have developed a unique market-oriented approach. This means that we are able to give full guidance to our clients during construction projects. In doing so we focus primarily on two main target groups; The architect and the contractor.

We provide support and guidance to the architect in a pro-active manner. We share all of our knowledge in the field of natural stone with them, to find the best use of natural stone for their design. In our showroom we show them samples, give technical support both in the design phase and in the actual implementation of the materials.

The contractor is the partner with whom we work on a daily basis and help to realise high quality technical projects. Working very closely with the contractor (client), from the beginning of the quotation stage through to completion of the project concerned; our construction office, staffed by expert designers, checks and where necessary optimises designs to convert them into definitive implementation plans with all the necessary detail.

Calculation

Van Stokkum has its own calculation office. Thanks to the advent of Digitable it is now possible to calculate very small amounts accurately. Even during the calculation phase, where necessary Van Stokkum will adjust and process the detailing for the natural stone in the quote so that the contractor isn’t faced with any surprises later.

Design and engineering

Our construction office, staffed by expert designers, checks and optimises designs where necessary to convert them into definitie implementation plans with all the necessary details. Once these drawings have been seen and approved by the client, lists of measurements are made to be sent to our suppliers abroad to be used in production.

Purchasing

Van Stokkum Natuursteen has been buying natural stone from quarries for over a century. In more recent decades Van Stokkum has built up an extensive and reliable network all over the world. As our client, this means we can offer you an very wide range. In addition shipments for large projects are checked and approved by our own buyers at the quarry concerned. In some cases, for very complex, large construction projects, with a contractor or architect present.

Implementation

Van Stokkum b.v. takes responsibility for entire natural stone projects such as floors, stairs, bespoke stonework and outside walls; from the choice of material up to and including construction. For this purpose we have our own, very experienced construction crews and floor layers, who have been working for Stokkum for a long time.

We also provide a supervisor to monitor the progress and quality from beginning to end of the projects.
