Seek out marble stone for sale fitting the project at hand in the appropriate color and size

Since marble is a natural product, the amount available in a specific color or veining may be limited. Purchase the entire quantity from one slab or several slabs from the same source so the marble matches well from piece to piece. Seek out a stone supplier with the quantity needed.

I recommend: Find a marble stone supplier with a good amount of stock to match the project's need. Companies like AllStoneResources provide for large projects such as hotels and office buildings. Direct importers, such as Granite & Marble Resources, often carry a large quantity.

Use a marble supplier offering prefabricated products to lower costs

Marble suppliers offer prefabricated, or precut, marble for flooring and counter tops. Marble importers have the marble cut to meet common needs, therefore reducing costs in some situations.

I recommend: Buy marble stone for sale precut in the shape and dimension needed based on the project's need. BlackMarket Carpet offers a large selection of marble tiling. BuildDirect offers marble tile for floors and walls in a variety of dimensions and colors. Both are wholesale marble stone suppliers. Some suppliers provide very specialized pieces, such as Monticello Tile Design, which produces marble medallions.

Examine the cost of direct stone import

Directly importing stone from abroad is an expensive option. Countries offering stone exports include India, China, Italy and many others.

I recommend: Vani International offers marble slabs for export around the world. Turkish supplier Alpha Stone Professionals offers several types of marble from the Middle East.
