 “The recently published MIA bulletin on fabrication and installation tolerances for natural stone has simplified the lives of both the specifier and the provider,” said Chuck Muehlbauer, MIA technical director and primary author of the new bulletin. “Previously, one would have had to sift through more than 1,000 pages of published documents to find all of this information.

“Now, it can be easily referenced in a matter of minutes.”

David Castellucci of Kenneth Castellucci & Associates in Lincoln, R.I., and MIA technical committee chair added that, “This new technical bulletin is an excellent reference tool that every stone company should be sharing with architects and designers.”
