They just made the wrong choice in architecting their process'. They had different priorities then.
Engineered stone is created, it's not like natural stone, we don't have to cut it. They also have the choice to cast it, net shape.
They just need to redo their whole schema, they need to reconfigure their process to customize the engineered stone before its solidified, not after.

They are cut only after the actual physical space has been built (carpentry mainly) because measurements have to be taken then since nothing is perfectly true/plumb/square. Today the turnaround is about a week for the material to be cut and then installed. Sending it off to the manufacturer to create to spec would not only add several weeks to the process but significant expense. Stone (both natural and engineered) can be cut safely. These shops just haven't been. Proper respirators, ventilation, and wetting will create a safe space to work in.
- iancmceachern 3y agoFixing this, either by the way I suggest, or the way you suggest (Proper respirators, ventilation, and wetting will create a safe space to work in.) both add cost. I think that's the problem, we're unwilling collectively as a society to pay the cost.
