Standardized Quality Control
As an associate member of NTSA.org technical committee, Christian Eid is an expert in the tile and stone industry. The goal is to provide the end user the tools and understanding of stone and it’s uses and limitations. The key to a successful stone installation is selecting the proper material for its intended use.
I follow the technical specifications as laid out by the construction documents in accordance with the architects’ specifications; and as set forth by the industries governing bodies. Such as the M.I.A. (Marble Institute of America), and TCNA (Tile Council of North America).
Natural stone products are also subject to testing by the ASTM (American Society of Testing Materials) which will also establish the minimum requirements of selected materials for the intended use. This information will aid the project engineer in determining the proper materials and installation methods.
Detailed Project Surveys: Residential & Commercial
As a stone consultant professional, I perform investigations and reports for architects, property owners, developers, and insurance companies; who rely on us for both photographic and detailed written reports of stone work failure.
Expert quantity surveys for natural stone projects i.e. wall cladding, floors, landscape areas, traditional carved stone work.
Interpretation of the technical properties and ASTM test data results of specified stone to aid architects and engineers in selecting the proper stone usage. If requested project specific comprehensive inspection reports.
Overseas & local factory inspection services and reporting during and upon completion of stone production.
Recommendations for cleaning, repair, and restoration services for modern and traditional stone work.
Where the home/building is either a historical structure or within a conservation area the stone will be investigated so that the correct replacement material is used.
