Delivering premium stone finishes on large residential towers requires more than aesthetics. Performance, compliance, and long-term reliability all play a critical role, particularly on projects operating under strict sustainability and safety requirements.
Deemah Stone is a specialist stone contractor delivering high-end finishes across major residential and commercial developments, including some of Sydney’s most prominent towers.
Working at the top end of residential construction
High-rise residential projects place unique demands on stone contractors. Complex details, external applications, staircases, and shared spaces all require materials that perform consistently under pressure.
On a recent circular high-end residential tower in Sydney, Deemah Stone was responsible for delivering premium stone finishes in a highly visible, architecturally significant location. From the outset, compliance with green and safety requirements was a non-negotiable part of the project brief.
Meeting green compliance and silica requirements
On large projects, material selection must satisfy multiple stakeholders, including builders, consultants, and developers. Green compliance requirements and silica exposure considerations are now central to approval processes.
As Ray Jnr Bechara, Construction Director at Deemah Stone, explains in the video, silica was a major factor in material selection, along with performance outcomes such as zero efflorescence on staircases and external paving. Using low-silica systems removed a significant risk factor for both installers and the wider project team.
System-based solutions that reduce risk
Deemah Stone’s relationship with BuildGreen spans several years and includes collaboration on major waterfront developments such as Barangaroo. Early on, the teams worked together to develop complete systems supported by technical data and documentation.
Rather than selecting isolated products, Deemah Stone adopted system-based solutions where components are designed and tested to work together. This approach reduced uncertainty on-site and simplified compliance discussions with project stakeholders.
Confidence through proven performance and support
For Deemah Stone, reliability is critical on large-scale projects. Proven systems allow teams to focus on delivery rather than troubleshooting compatibility issues mid-build.
Mel Ferro, Senior Executive Officer at Deemah Stone, reinforces the importance of consistency when operating at this level. Using systems that are well-documented, supported, and proven in similar environments helps ensure high-quality outcomes across complex builds.
Delivering premium outcomes on complex projects
This project demonstrates how low-silica, compliant systems can support high-end stone finishes on demanding residential towers. When materials, performance, and support are aligned, contractors gain confidence that outcomes will meet both technical and aesthetic expectations.
For specialist contractors working on major residential developments, system reliability is not optional. It is fundamental to delivering premium results.
