Recognizing Our Amazing Staff
We’re thrilled to recognize Alex Salazar as this month’s Rock Star of the Month. Alex is a real workhorse who runs our CAD (Computer-Aided Design) department. He receives all of the field drawings and CAD files from the templating department and works his digital design magic to provide stunning layouts and program the projects for our CNC machines. Alex has been in his current position as a CAD designer for the past three years and is a real asset in producing highly accurate and very appealing layouts for our clients. His attention to detail is unsurpassed, and his willingness to work with the entire team to bring outstanding stonework to our community is second to none.
The Power of CAD and SlabSmith in Stonework
Even if you’ve never heard of this design software, we can almost guarantee you’ve benefited from it. We want to plan your project down to the last detail before we even start, and the SlabSmith program has revolutionized how we conceptualize and bring designs to life. Alex uses this tool to create a carefully crafted layout so that we can enhance precision, efficiency, and overall project success. What exactly does SlabSmith do, you may ask? SlabSmith starts with a calibrated photo of the actual slab that a job will be cut from and allows the designer to layout the pieces of a job on the photo to create a visualization of the final product, offering a virtual walkthrough that considers every detail before we cut your kitchen tops. At Rocky Mountain Stone, we finish how we start–with a strong attention to detail!
The Importance of a Well-Thought-Out Layout
We know that when it comes to stonework in your home, looking at all the different stone materials can be the exciting part! But a solid, well-thought-out layout is the cornerstone of any successful stonework project. It serves as a roadmap for construction teams, guiding them through the intricate process of bringing your vision for your home to life. We understand that a flawless layout streamlines the construction process and sets you up for stonework that stands the test of time.
