Open to all SGDG Members, taking place as part of our PDG (Professional Development Group) schedule.

The CPD has been created by the Ca’Pietra Projects team and explores the use of natural stone in exterior design, covering material selection, finishes, sustainability and performance.  It also introduces bespoke applications beyond paving, with guidance on detailing, fabrication and practical specification to help designers bring projects to life with confidence.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand which natural stones are best suited to UK outdoor environments
• Know how to specify correct formats and finishes for performance and aesthetics
• Gain insights into bespoke stone applications beyond paving
• Understand lead times, fabrication techniques and CNC stonework
• Confidence in talking to clients about longevity, maintenance and sustainability
