Given the rapid advancement of technology and the business landscape worldwide, India as a developing nation is currently on a significant growth path. This leads to a high demand for expansion in the construction and infrastructure sector, requiring visually striking and structurally sound buildings. Facade engineering is crucial in addressing aesthetic, environmental, and structural concerns to enclose buildings effectively. The architectural facade industry is rapidly transforming with the introduction of new materials, technologies, and construction techniques, presenting challenges for architects and designers to navigate. Facades act as the interface between external conditions and the indoor climate and must focus on aesthetic appeal while meeting functional prerequisites like energy efficiency, safety, and longevity. Enterprises need to adapt and refine their methodologies to effectively tackle these challenges and showcase the status, luxury, and beauty that organizations demand today. Formidably, within the same context, KW Stone stands out as a leading company that creates innovative and versatile facades.

When discussing the creation of beautiful and iconic buildings, it's essential to recognize the crucial role that stone plays. The meticulous engineering required to cloak a building in stone is a testament to the demanding nature of this craft. Consequently, there is a substantial market demand for stone facades. In its capacity as a facade engineering specialist, KW Stone caters to a diverse clientele within the industry. Offering services globally, KW Stone specializes in comprehensive turnkey stone contracts. The company’s expertise includes designing facades, providing stone consultations, manu-facturing stone elements, and providing on-site installation for large-scale building projects.

From palaces and exclusive farmhouses to shopping malls, 5-star hotels, IT parks, group housings, and villas, its team is ready to positively bring the client’s vision to life. Hence, clients in search of buildings with iconic significance often seek KW Stone’s expertise for their projects.

Kamal shares, “We have recently completed the construction of a grand palace in the state of Florida, USA, drawing inspiration from architectural styles found in classical and Roman designs. Our proficiency lies in creating opulent, palatial aesthetics for buildings, with a focus on classical and Roman architectural influences. While we are adept at providing engineering services for contemporary designs, our primary emphasis remains on delivering high-end palatial aesthetics”.

The Skillful Team & Infrastructural Expanse

With prowess in effectively transforming images into reality, the company outperforms its competitors owing to its in-house engineering and architecture departments and state-of-the-art factory machinery. “At KW Stone, the project execution process commences with an initial consultation with the client, often involving the provision of a 3D image by architects to depict the building
facades desired by the client. Subsequently, architectural modifi-cations, if necessary, are made to these drawings, followed by the provision of civil drawing consultancies to securely fix the stone according to the client's specifications. The subsequent steps involve stone designing, installation, and client interaction for stone and color selection. Once the client's choices have been finalized and the drawings completed, the stone execution phase commences, culminating in meticulous in-house finishing using our array of specialized machinery. In summary, the project execution process comprises five key stages: stone shop drawings, stone selection, stone installations inclusive of design modifications, final finishing, and handling, all of which are diligently overseen to ensure adherence to our exacting standards”, explains Kamal.

Collectively, these machines play a pivotal role in delivering comprehensive solutions for every project by KW Stone with precise finish and specified accuracy in designs. Shedding light on its uniqueness in client handling, Kamal says, “Our factory boasts an extensive array of stone samples. During their visit, clients have the opportunity to browse our collection of stones and review our previous projects, which helps them make an informed choice. Following the installation process, our commitment to uncompromising service manifests in the provision of continuous support over the years.

He adds, “Irrespective of the project's location, we are equipped with specialized waterjet washing and pressure washer machines, complemented by a dedicated maintenance team. When undertaking overseas projects, we impart maintenance training to the client's housekeeping team, empowering them to autonomously manage routine upkeep. For prestigious projects, we deliver extensive training to the client's housekeeping team, ensuring their proficiency in identifying and addressing minor issues. However, should the need arise, our team is readily available for support and remediation. This regimen alleviates the burden of routine care, as the client's housekeeping team assumes responsibility for maintenance, safeguarded by our commitment to offer support upon request".
