About granite, sandstone and other monumental or building stone
cpc code 1513 covers the extraction and processing of granite, sandstone, and other types of monumental or building stone. This industry plays a crucial role in the construction and infrastructure sectors, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of building and landscaping projects. The demand for these natural stone products is driven by their durability, aesthetic appeal, and versatility in various architectural and design applications.
Production process
The production of monumental and building stone typically involves quarrying, cutting, and finishing processes. Quarrying involves the extraction of large blocks of stone from natural deposits using heavy machinery and explosives. The extracted blocks are then transported to processing facilities where they are cut, shaped, and polished using specialized cutting and grinding equipment. The final products can range from rough-hewn blocks to highly polished and finished stone tiles, slabs, and other decorative elements.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of monumental and building stone include the raw stone materials, such as granite, sandstone, and limestone, as well as various tools and equipment used in the quarrying and processing stages. This includes excavators, cranes, cutting and polishing machines, and transportation vehicles. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including quarry workers, stonemasons, and technicians, to carry out the various production tasks.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the monumental and building stone industry are finished stone products, such as 1511 Dimension stone, 1512 Crushed and broken stone, and 3273 Cut stone and stone products. These materials are widely used in the construction of buildings, monuments, landscaping features, and various other applications. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by the 2361 Residential building construction and 2362 Nonresidential building construction industries, as well as the 2371 Utility system construction and 2372 Land subdivision sectors.
