Another important milestone for our Belgrave Place project.
This week, working closely with Alex D Architecture Practice, we travelled to Greece with our stone supplier, Akmens Pasaulis (Lithuania), to personally select the Thassos marble for this exceptional Grade II listed refurbishment.
Rather than selecting stone from a warehouse, we visited the quarry itself to inspect the marble at its source and hand-pick the purest white blocks. For projects of this standard, there is simply no substitute for seeing the material where it is extracted. Quality is built into every detail.
Despite only around seven hours of sleep over three days, we travelled from London to Athens, then to Thessaloniki and Thassos Island before returning to England. It was a demanding trip, but delivering outstanding quality requires commitment at every stage.
The selected marble will now be transported to the Akmens Pasaulis workshop in Lithuania, where every slab will be precision-cut to the bespoke sizes required for the project. Once fabrication is complete, each piece will be carefully packed onto custom-made pallets with dedicated lifting points before being shipped to London. As the apartment is located within a Grade II listed building, every pallet will be designed to allow the stone to be safely lifted by crane or hoist directly into the property, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition.
At Falcon Construction & Management Contractors, we believe exceptional projects are achieved by being involved in every stage of the process—from design coordination and material selection to manufacturing, logistics and installation. This level of commitment ensures our client receives the highest possible quality and a finished result that will stand the test of time.
