Custom cast stone is made to order, so lead time is something to plan for — not react to. Because every piece comes from a mold built for your project, a little scheduling foresight keeps a facade or Local Law 11 restoration on track. Here is what drives cast stone lead times.
The typical timeline
- Shop drawings: about 15 business days to prepare
- Review and approval: depends on your team's turnaround
- Production: about 6-10 weeks after approval
- Delivery: coordinated to your install schedule
What affects the schedule
Several factors move the timeline. More custom molds mean more setup; higher quantities take longer to cast and cure; complex profiles and color matching add steps; and pieces needing reinforcement or engineering require additional design work.
How to keep on track
Order early. The biggest schedule risk is a late start — once molds are built and production is queued, the clock is fixed. Approving shop drawings promptly is the single best way to protect the schedule.
Deadline-driven work
FISP repairs are time-bound, and sidewalk sheds are expensive to leave up. For urgent projects, ask about expedited services — and plan the cast stone order as early in the repair schedule as possible.
