01 / Stonework for outdoor living
Outdoor kitchen & BBQ benchtops for Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
An outdoor kitchen brings cooking, preparation and entertaining into the same space. We plan the stone surfaces around your layout, selected appliances, sink, cabinetry and the way the area is exposed to the elements.
BBQ surrounds & cooking areas
Custom stone surfaces coordinated with the specified appliance, cut-outs, adjoining materials and installation details.
Preparation & sink areas
Benchtops, sink cut-outs and splashbacks planned around usable preparation space, tapware and the surrounding cabinetry.
Bars, islands & serving areas
Serving surfaces, seating overhangs and waterfall ends, with slab layout, joins and specified supports considered.
02 / Outdoor projects
Different settings. Individually planned stonework.
Explore covered alfresco spaces, BBQ runs, sink areas and outdoor islands. Select a photograph to see the full view.
03 / Materials we work with
Choose for the actual outdoor exposure.
For outdoor stonework, we assess selected granite, quartzite, porcelain slabs and exterior-specified terrazzo against the proposed location and supplier guidance. Sun, rain, moisture, heat sources, surface finish and any treatments all need review.
Selected granite & quartzite
Review the particular slab, finish and supplier approval for the intended exposure. Natural stone variation, joins, supports and care requirements are considered alongside the design.
Porcelain slabs
Choose a product approved for the intended exterior application. We review slab thickness, cut-outs, edge details and supports against the manufacturer’s fabrication guidance.
Exterior-specified terrazzo
Terrazzo products differ in binder, aggregate, finish and intended use. Confirm that the actual product is approved for the proposed outdoor exposure and follow its care and sealing requirements.
Covered or exposed?
Tell us whether the area is sheltered, partly exposed or open to the weather. Include the location of the BBQ and other heat sources so the material and construction details can be reviewed.

04 / Resolve the details early
Plan the stone around the appliances and cabinetry.
Appliance information
Send the chosen BBQ, sink and tapware specifications with the drawings. Appliance clearances, enclosure and ventilation requirements need to be coordinated by the project team and relevant trades using the specific manufacturer’s instructions.
Cabinetry & supports
Confirm the outdoor cabinetry dimensions, levels and proposed support arrangement. Overhangs, waterfall ends, cut-outs and larger pieces need to be considered together before templating.
Joins, edges & access
Available slab sizes and the proposed layout influence joins and edge construction. Tell us about delivery access, stairs, restricted openings and any staged installation needs.
Share elevations as well as the floor plan so splashback heights, returns and adjoining finishes can be included in the scope.
05 / From the top to the smallest return
A considered finish across the whole area.
Waterfalls & edge profiles
The fascia, return panels and exposed edges should be specified together. We discuss the construction and stone pattern across adjoining pieces.
Sink fitting & splashbacks
Sink, tapware and waste details inform the cut-outs and surrounding stonework. Splashbacks, side returns and smaller pieces should be included in your drawings.
Curves & special details
We can assess curved ends and shaped features against the selected material, radius, exposure and support arrangement. The fabrication approach is confirmed for the specific design.
Explore curved stonework, sink and basin options and kitchen benchtop details.
06 / From template to installation
Templated onsite. Manufactured in our workshop.
We template your outdoor stonework onsite, confirming dimensions, joins, edges and specified appliance cut-outs. We manufacture and hand-finish the stone in our Slacks Creek workshop, then coordinate installation and sealing where required for the selected material and finish.
Where included in your scope, we fit sinks onsite ready for your plumber to connect. Gas, electrical and plumbing connections are completed by the relevant licensed trades.
01 / Share & confirm
Send plans, elevations, project location, material preferences and appliance details. We review the scope and quote the agreed stonework.
02 / Prepare & template
Have cabinetry installed, level and supported, with the relevant appliances onsite and fitting information available. We confirm site dimensions and the fabrication details.
03 / Manufacture & finish
Slab layout is followed by cutting, shaping, assembly and hand finishing to suit the agreed stone and design.
04 / Install & hand over
We coordinate site access and installation readiness, complete the agreed stonework and provide care guidance for the selected material and finish.
07 / Planning your alfresco area
Outdoor kitchen & BBQ stonework questions.
Which material is best for an outdoor kitchen?
We assess the particular product and location together. Selected granite, quartzite, exterior-approved porcelain and exterior-specified terrazzo can be considered, subject to the actual exposure, finish, fabrication details and supplier guidance.
Does a covered alfresco area need an outdoor-rated surface?
A roof does not describe every exposure condition. Tell us about direct sunlight, wind-driven rain, moisture and heat sources so the selected material and installation details can be assessed for the site.
Can you make the cut-out for my BBQ?
Yes, as part of the agreed scope. Provide the exact appliance specifications and installation instructions. The project team and relevant trades coordinate the appliance’s clearance, enclosure and ventilation requirements before the stone details are finalised.
Can you include a sink and splashback?
Yes. We assess the sink, tapware, waste and splashback details with your layout. Where included in the quote, we fit the sink onsite ready for your plumber to connect.
Can you make waterfall ends or a curved outdoor island?
We can assess these details against the selected material, dimensions, slab layout, exposure and support arrangement. Send the proposed shape and reference images with the drawings.
Do you build the whole outdoor kitchen?
We coordinate the quoted stone fabrication and installation with your builder, cabinetmaker and relevant trades. Your quote identifies the stone surfaces, cut-outs, edges and installation details included.
How do I care for an outdoor stone benchtop?
Follow the supplier’s guidance for the selected product and finish, including any sealing requirements. Use suitable cleaning products, attend to spills and use chopping boards and heat protection. We discuss care as part of the material selection and handover.
Where do you fabricate and install?
