Scope and references
Organise the gate, forecourt, prayer pavilion, main hall and courtyard around the temple committee's approved references.
COMPLETE TEMPLE STONEWORK
Chinese Temple Stonework Projects
We coordinate the production and supply of stonework for new temples, renovations and phased projects, including product schedules, approved references, workshop production, packing and shipping. Site work and installation responsibilities are defined in the quotation.
Plan the stonework as one coordinated scope
A project may include guardian lions, stone gates, dragon pillars, wall reliefs, deity statues, incense burners, offering tables, railings, column bases, steps and other architectural components. Not every temple needs every item.
For a complete package, stone colour, proportions, motifs, joints, component numbers and shipment sequence can be coordinated in one schedule. Individual products can also be quoted separately.
Dimensions and quotation
Confirm site dimensions, stone, carving depth, quantity, packing, destination and trade terms item by item.
Production and delivery
Use approval photos, component numbers, packing lists and installation drawings to coordinate workshop and site teams.
Information to send for a project quotation
A clear scope makes quotations easier to compare.
| Site | Plans or photos, main dimensions, existing structures, access route and destination city or port. |
|---|---|
| Products | Initial product list, quantities, preferred stone, approved motifs and items that must match existing work. |
| Delivery | Target programme, shipment stages, unloading conditions, crane access and required installation support. |
For temple committees and contractors
Temple committees can send approved references and budget priorities. Contractors and traditional architecture firms can send drawings, schedules, joint details and required trade terms. The quotation will state which work is included and which site responsibilities remain with the buyer.

Keep phased packages visually and technically coordinated
Create one master schedule with product numbers, approved drawings, stone samples, finish standards, motif rules and named approvers. Even when the gate, main hall and worship area ship in different phases, they should refer to the same revision register.
Separate workshop fabrication drawings from architectural and structural design. Foundations, loads, wind, seismic criteria, embedded items and lifting remain subject to approval by the relevant local professionals.
Use the buying guide to prepare the first project schedule and the contract checklist before ordering.
