Stoniq is commissioning an architectural concrete platform in North Karnataka. The moulds are not cut. The colours are not chosen. Before any of that is fixed, we are asking the people who actually draw the ground what it ought to be.
Everything decided between now and then is still genuinely open.
There is nothing to sell you. That is exactly why we can still listen.
Five short sections. Only nine questions are required.
Nothing is attributed to you without asking first. Ever.
Most manufacturers ask for feedback once the catalogue is printed. Ours is not written yet — which is the only reason this exercise is worth your time.
Shapes, sizes and thicknesses are still being settled. Rather than copy a catalogue and hope it sells, we want to know which formats you would genuinely put on a drawing.
Colour and texture are not fixed. Light or deep, warm or cool, uniform or varied — these are choices we would rather make with specifiers than settle on a middle value and hope it suits.
Samples, drawings, technical data. Each takes real effort to produce properly, so we would rather build the few that get used than a shelf full that do not.
Six to eight minutes. Most of it is tapping. One written answer about a job that gave you trouble.
Scored against project exposure, how often the need recurs, and whether there is live work behind it. Frequency alone never decides tooling.
The strongest cases go into the first mould order, the colour decision and the finishing setup.
Collaborators see prototypes and samples from the first runs before anything is offered publicly.
Respondents who opt in are considered for a small group who see prototypes before anyone else — sample sets from the first production runs, and a real say in the second round of tooling.
It costs nothing and obliges nothing. It exists because a manufacturer with no history has to earn trust rather than claim it.
Where an answer points to live work with genuine near-term need, we may ask about a project trial. That is a separate conversation, entirely optional, and only happens if you invite it in the final section.
Everyone who takes part gets the aggregated findings — what the profession collectively said, whether or not it matches what we expected.
Nothing is tooled yet. That will not be true for much longer.
