Natural stone specialist launches new free CPD

Lorry transporting construction products

NATURAL stone product specialist Tradstocks is launching a new CPD programme, designed to offer architects, landscape architects, developers, and other built environment professionals the chance gain a better understanding of the stone production process, different products, and stone specification techniques for streetscape and building projects.

The free programme lasts for two hours and is located at Tradstocks’ Westwood Factory site near Livingston. It includes a tour of the factory, lunch, and a certificate upon completion.

Attendees will learn about the stone production process – from quarrying to finished products – and about material uses, abilities, and tolerances. They will also hear about different stone types to understand their characteristics and applications. Best practices for specifying stone will be covered, enabling informed choices for durability and aesthetics.

Director Mark Freeedman said, “We are delighted to be launching our new CPD programme. It’s an opportunity for Built Environment professionals to gain first hand experience of the natural stone production process with our hosted on-site visit and also learn about the various attributes, purposes, and sustainability of a wide range of natural stone products.”
