Development of New Projects

We provide consultancy services specializing in natural stone.

Our experience has allowed us to acquire the knowledge to help our customers choose the most suitable materials for their projects.

Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)

The preparation of the EPD is a requirement of the markets in response to the latest European Union requirements regarding the marketing of Construction Products.

The preparation of the EPD is based on the collection and analysis of data relating to the manufacture of a given product, from the origin of the raw material to the end of life. With this data, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is carried out, which follows international standards such as ISO 14025.

With the partnership between Frontwave and Itecons, you will have the support of specialized consultants in the natural stone sector and the expertise of technicians with vast experience in carrying out Life Cycle Analyses of products in the construction market.

Natural Stone Selection

We help construction and architecture professionals choose the right stone for each application and solve any type of problem.

Depending on the project and application in question, the choice of natural stone product to be used is crucial to the success of the project.

With extensive knowledge of material properties, our expert consultants support you in this choice, ensuring that critical aspects are taken into account.

The good use of natural materials in the construction sector is an asset for builders and users: it has a low carbon footprint compared to synthetic materials and has a valued aesthetic factor.

TPAF

The TPAF is applied to your natural stone products, which allows an efficient communication with prescribers (designers, architects, construction owners, etc).
