Dimensions
Length, width, height, thickness, base position, and room clearance change material yield, support, freight, and handling.
Process
A considered process for a permanent object.
Custom stone work depends on proportion, material, finish, access and use. The April's Form process turns an initial idea into a written specification before production begins.
Primary actionStart a custom enquiry.
Best forFurniture, bathroom, decor, hospitality, outdoor, and one-off stone pieces.
BoundaryApril's Form creates custom stone pieces by enquiry. Australian commissions are reviewed locally before scope, stone, dimensions, price, freight, timing, payment stage, and delivery assumptions are confirmed in writing.
Quote basis
The price follows the design, material and delivery reality.
Stone
Family, slab size, variation, cut direction, rarity, and sample confidence shape feasibility and cost.
Finish
Honed, satin, polished, filled, edge profile, softness, sealing, and daily-use tolerance affect production assumptions.
Delivery city
Freight route, packaging, carrier suitability, regional handling, and delivery timing are quote inputs.
Access
Lift size, stairs, parking, loading dock, floor protection, site readiness, and specialist equipment can change scope.
Approval path
Homeowner, designer, architect, builder, hospitality, or client approvals influence samples, drawings, and timing.
Five steps
From idea to a clear custom specification.
The process is collaborative, but each stage keeps the object, material, quote and approval path clear.
- 01
Brief
Send the piece type, room, dimensions, inspiration, role, city, access notes, budget range, and timing.
- 02
Direction
We review the brief and identify the right stone family, form, finish, edge profile, and missing details.
- 03
Specification
The idea becomes a written scope with dimensions, material assumptions, production notes, freight, and approval points.
- 04
Quote
You receive a custom quote for review. No order is accepted until the scope and commercial assumptions are confirmed in writing.
- 05
Production
After approval and deposit, the piece moves into fabrication, packing, freight, and delivery planning.
Brief quality
What makes the first reply useful.
You can start without perfect drawings. The goal is enough context to understand feasibility, material direction, price inputs, and next steps.
- Piece type or intended use
- Approximate dimensions or drawings
- Room photos, inspiration images, or design references
- Preferred stone, colour, or material mood
- Delivery city and access constraints
- Budget range, deadline, and decision-maker
What changed
Why the brief shapes the quote.
Dimensions, stone availability, finish, edge profile, freight, access, approval path, and production timing all influence the final commission. The brief helps the first reply become specific without asking you to choose a fixed online product.
