For the trade

Search the marketplace. Bookmark by project.

Kitchen + bath designers, interior designers, architects, A&D firms, general contractors, project managers, and anyone with a touchpoint on the project. The marketplace is the union of every supplier’s, distributor’s, and fabricator’s public inventory — bundles, slabs, and remnants searchable by lot, finish, dimensions, supplier, region. Bookmark slabs to a project. Substitution requires explicit re-spec; the project record captures the change.

The proposition

Spec it. Lock it. Install it.

Designers carry the relationship with the homeowner. Fabricators carry the cut. Suppliers carry the stone. Honed Earth is the layer where all three see the same slab — the one you specified, with the lot you saw, in the dimensions you measured.

The designer workflow

Three steps to locked spec.

Browse + bookmark

Search by stone type, finish, dimensions. Bookmark slabs to private project boards. Each bookmark carries the full provenance trail.

Inquire with project context

Drop the spec into a project, attach the slab bookmark, send to the fabricator. The fabricator opens the inquiry with all your context already attached. No re-explaining.

Lock at quote acceptance

When the homeowner approves the quote, the slab moves to on hold. Specification becomes commitment in one click. The trail walks the install through fabrication into delivery.

What you get

What you specify arrives.

Slab-level specification

Not 'Carrara marble' — slab #L-2024-A12, lot 4471, 118×65×3cm, polished, currently at Web Guy X LLC's Brooklyn warehouse. The specification is unambiguous.

Fabricator handoff with the trail

The fabricator opens the inquiry with project context, slab bookmark, install date, and homeowner notes attached. The first call is a five-minute confirmation, not a re-explanation.

Common questions

What about…

Can I work with my existing fabricator?

Yes — connect your existing fabricator network on signup. Inquiries route to your network first; public marketplace fills gaps.

How do swatch boxes work?

Trade-designer Pro tier ships physical swatch boxes on request. The samples are tagged with their source slab; you specify by lot, not by 'something like this.'

Does the homeowner ever see the platform?

Yes — homeowners can browse the public marketplace, save slab bookmarks, and share them with you. They don't see your designer dashboard, supplier rate cards, or audit trail. Their experience is the public /material surface plus their saved bookmarks.

What about A&D firms with multi-team workflows?

Enterprise tier. Role-based access (senior architect approves, specification associate maintains, field staff verify on install). Project versioning per revision. Cross-portfolio queryability by stone, lot, supplier, fabricator. API sync with Newforma, Procore, and Deltek.

What about commission / referral fees?

Designer-tier accounts can opt into affiliate commissions on fabricator-completed installs. Configurable per-project; transparent on the audit trail.

The supply chain, in plain sight

Five categories. One ledger.

Suppliers, distributors, and fabricators manage their inventory of bundles, slabs, and remnants. The union of those inventories is the marketplace — searchable by the trade and by homeowners. From the quarry to the kitchen.

Suppliers

Manage inventory of bundles, slabs, and remnants. Lot tagging, photo signing, warehouse rack assignment.
