At Kiaal Kuwait, we provide on-site measurement of facade stone works for each facade individually, following the standards used in the Kuwaiti market. We measure plain stone and all linear and decorative elements. The measurement is the same in every case, but the report is prepared according to your goal: purchasing before execution, or settlement after execution.
