Stone

Exterior building envelope packages include granite, marble or limestone facades, which are installed using unitized or hand set methods. Interior installations include wall systems for lobbies and highly decorated areas. Blakley’s also installs interior and exterior stone pavers in conventional mortar setting systems or thinset mortar.

Blakley’s ongoing relationships with nationally reputed General Contractors, Constructions Managers, and Owners has resulted in the completion of projects in markets as diverse as Phoenix, AZ, Orlando, FL,  and Princeton, NJ.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Blakley’s continues to play a major role in the structural landscape of the Midwest. Our portfolio is composed of nearly every type of construction project, including convention halls, sports arenas, educational facilities, retail outlets, museums, office buildings, and health care centers. Strong financial security provides bonding capabilities required by the Owners and Construction Managers.

Industry Competence
The solid reputation of Blakley’s has been built on the fundamentals of quality, value, and commitment to task with a progressive attitude toward every job. Blakley’s project management team is comprised of a design and engineering department, estimating staff,  and skilled installation personnel, who expertly handle stone projects ranging from multi-story cladding and plaza site work projects, to smaller office buildings and tenant improvements.

Years of combined experience – in detailing, design, and purchasing of both domestic and imported stone materials from a variety of suppliers – assures innovative and cost effective solutions for even the most demanding situation. All done without compromising the quality of products or excellence of installation.

The Blakley Advantage
Blakley’s ability to provide all of the components of the stone setting system – stone materials from world wide sources, engineering and design drawing services, testing, steel support systems, anchors and component parts or mortar setting systems – results in benefits to any project that are clearly measurable.

Economy of Buying Power
Blakley’s knows stone – from the ground up, inside and out. We understand the import process, the stone selection, and the acquisition of both foreign and domestic stones. Our buying expertise on the world market, with direct purchasing links to European, South American, Canadian,   Asian and domestic stone producers, results in competitive pricing and cost savings. Blakley’s customers, large or small, can take advantage of our direct buying and purchasing power.

Economy of Expertise
Our staff of experts creates the shop drawings and designs and engineers the support systems. Everything from wind-load data to the modulus of rupture of the stone is considered.

Economy of Scale
Blakley’s buying expertise on the world market – plus internal capabilities that match up well with multi-story stone cladding projects – makes us an ideal resource for any kind of stone construction. We think big – even when the building is small.

Economy of Craftsmanship
The key to great stone installations is found in the detailing. Having expert craft workers, with decades of installation experience, creates proficiency and perfection in each element as you study the completed work. Granite, Marble, Limestone and Slate are ageless materials. Great  detailing will amplify your stone investment, giving you more of the intrinsic value that stone materials provide. Isn’t that why you considered stone to start with?

Blakley’s can achieve the kind of efficiencies that make stone a “good value” from low to high-rise construction projects. If you’re budgeting for quality, you have enough in the budget for stone.
