AAS Advantage for Masons, Contractors, Builders

Advanced Architectural Stone (AAS) is able to source all the required stone for a project combining three product materials – dry vibrant-tamp cast stone, wet-pour architectural precast concrete, and architectural GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete). This creates a significant competitive advantage for customers while bidding jobs.

The AAS team has the bandwidth and a very well thought out support system to work closely with customers in every phase of the project – design review and assist using CAD drawings, engineering connection details to hang stone pieces, project-specific custom design and manufacturing of stone products, construction planning support, installation training, onsite troubleshooting, etc.
