Stone Industry veteran, Michael Picco of Picco Engineering (a Toronto based company), spoke on, "making the transition from residential countertops to light construction" for several dozen fabricators attending the MIA/Stone World seminar on June 21. He also fielded many questions about anchorage requirements for stone cladding projects, common mistakes made when submitting commercial project bid proposals, the differences between residential and commercial projects payment terms, and more. He also highlighted the importance of the MIA's Dimension Stone Design Manual and the value it has to the global stone industry as a source of stone information.
