Construction Documents & Proposal
Upon receipt of the Architectural Plans, HardRock will prepare a comprehensive proposal for your granite countertop project.  Please include a granite selection summary that identifies the color, thickness, edge treatment and backsplash height that you require.  If you have selected the Group I or Group II price package described above, our proposal will reflect the low price of $15.00 or $23.00 per square foot, respectively.
 

Granite Countertop Samples
HardRock typically provides four (4) 12 x 12 granite samples for approval.  Upon approval, all four (4) samples are to be signed by the client and returned to HardRock.  HardRock will sign the samples and send one (1) back to the client.  The remaining three (3) samples will be retained by HardRock.
 

Trade Coordination
In order to begin preparation of the Granite Countertop shop drawings, we require a complete set of Cabinet Shop Drawings; along with, Cut Sheets and Templates for all cut-outs (Sinks, Cooktops, Faucet holes, etc.) that you want us to include.  It is also recommended that you provide the necessary contact information for these vendors so that HardRock can participate in; and, expedite the entire coordination process.  We possess valuable insight and experience in the coordination of all trades for granite countertop shop drawings.  Through our direct communication with these vendors, we will facilitate the rapid integration of all information necessary to complete the final granite countertop drawings.  We recognize that any information which we gather in this fashion is ultimately subject to final verification; and, correction or approval by the client.  All verbal and written communications with these vendors that require client verification will be properly documented and summarized for you on a weekly basis.
 

Granite Countertop Shop Drawings
HardRock's Chief Design Analyst identifies all of the additional details and/or dimensions that we may require from the client in order to complete the dimensional coordination of the granite tops.  Our  Master Detailer thoroughly reviews all of the dimensions and details provided within the initial documents and incorporates all additional information collected during the coordination process.  He is the point man in the process.  His primary function is to insure that all space limitation and/or constructibility issues that arise are promptly identified and resolved with the client.  The Master Detailer is also responsible for communicating and distributing all information to the necessary parties in order to minimize turnaround time.  HardRock's Drafting Department prepares a comprehensive set of granite countertop shop drawings for submittal and approval based upon the information gathered and coordinated by our Master Detailer.
 

Total Quality Management -TQM
Our Senior Draftsman reviews the final approved granite top shop drawings against all other documents for compliance and accuracy.  The Master Detailer double checks all of these drawings, dimensions, details and cut sheets for precision.  HardRock’s Chief Design Analyst releases the granite shop drawings for fabrication only after he has performed a triple check of these documents.
 

Delivery Time
The lead time for final granite countertop shop drawings on a typical project is approximately six weeks; however, we offer an expedited plan, at no additional cost, that will facilitate completion of the entire process in as little as two to four weeks.  The average lead time for a single container order (3,500 SF) of granite tops is approximately six weeks from final approval.
 

Payment Terms
Payment terms are generally negotiated on a job to job basis.  Since granite countertops are specially fabricated and unique to each project, we typically require a Transferrable, Irrevocable Letter of Credit.  We also accept 50% deposit with the balance upon delivery.  Our Group I and Group II price packages  include Customs Clearance and Ocean Freight, FOB Port of Entry.  We do not include trucking costs beyond the Port of Entry.  Delivery FOB jobsite can be arranged for an additional fee.
