Stone masonry provides commercial buildings with a durable, distinctive exterior finish that can be incorporated into façades, entrances, columns, walls, architectural features, and landscape structures. BRIT-TEX Construction provides commercial stone and cap stone services for new construction, additions, renovations, exterior restoration, and other commercial projects.
Every commercial stone project has different architectural drawings, material specifications, wall assemblies, stone profiles, dimensions, patterns, elevations, and finish requirements. Our team works from the construction documents and project specifications to coordinate the stone masonry scope with the surrounding construction.
Our process begins by reviewing architectural plans, elevations, wall sections, substrates, foundations, openings, flashing locations, transitions, architectural details, and connections with adjacent exterior systems. Proper layout and preparation are important for maintaining consistent stone patterns, clean transitions, accurate dimensions, and a professional finished appearance.
Material selection plays an important role in commercial stone construction. Depending on the architectural specifications, projects may incorporate natural stone products from suppliers such as Cobra Stone, with selections based on stone type, color, texture, dimensions, profile, and the overall architectural design of the building.
BRIT-TEX Construction installs commercial stone veneer for building façades, entrances, columns, accent walls, architectural features, retaining structures, and other specified applications. Careful attention is given to layout, mortar joints, anchors, flashing, drainage, transitions, openings, and connections with surrounding exterior materials.
Cap stone provides a finished protective surface at the top of masonry walls, parapets, columns, piers, retaining walls, and other architectural elements. Properly installed cap stone helps complete the appearance of the masonry while also helping direct water away from the wall assembly below.
Commercial cap stone installation requires careful attention to dimensions, slope, overhangs, joints, sealants, flashing conditions, and transitions. Our team works from the architectural details and project specifications to ensure cap stone elements are coordinated with the masonry assembly and surrounding construction.
Stone masonry must also integrate correctly with the building envelope. Depending on the wall assembly, stone veneer systems may incorporate water-resistive barriers, flashing, drainage cavities, weeps, mortar collection systems, anchors, ties, sealants, and other moisture-management components. Where specified, building-envelope products from manufacturers such as Tremco may be incorporated around openings, joints, transitions, and other critical areas.
Stone installation frequently requires coordination with other exterior trades. BRIT-TEX Construction works around structural framing, sheathing, concrete, CMU, brick, EIFS, stucco, windows, storefront systems, roofing, waterproofing, flashing, mechanical penetrations, electrical components, signage, and other construction elements that interact with the masonry scope.
Transitions between materials require particular attention. Commercial façades often combine stone with brick, CMU, stucco, EIFS, glass, metal panels, and other exterior finishes. These transition areas must be laid out and coordinated according to the architectural drawings so the different materials come together cleanly while maintaining the requirements of the exterior wall assembly.
Architectural stone can be incorporated into commercial projects in many different ways. Building façades may include stone bases, accent sections, columns, entry features, wall panels, bands, sills, coping, cap stone, and other custom masonry details. Different stone colors, cuts, textures, patterns, and mortar finishes can be used to achieve the specified architectural appearance.
BRIT-TEX Construction also installs cap stone and coping elements where masonry walls require a finished top surface. These components can be used on parapets, site walls, screen walls, retaining walls, columns, piers, entry features, and other commercial masonry structures.
Our team focuses on accurate layout, consistent installation, clean masonry work, proper material transitions, and coordination with the surrounding building envelope. From large exterior elevations to detailed architectural stone features, we approach each project according to its plans and specifications.
Whether the project involves a retail center, office building, restaurant, hotel, school, medical facility, warehouse, industrial facility, institutional building, commercial development, or multi-story structure, BRIT-TEX Construction is prepared to work alongside the project's general contractor and construction team.

Commercial Stone & Building Envelope Coordination
Commercial stone veneer is part of a larger exterior wall assembly. BRIT-TEX Construction coordinates stone masonry with foundations, structural framing, sheathing, CMU, insulation, water barriers, flashing, windows, storefront systems, roofing, brick, EIFS, stucco, sealants, and other exterior components.
For projects requiring natural architectural stone, products available through Cobra Stone provide options across limestone, sandstone and other natural stone selections that can be incorporated according to the architectural specifications and desired appearance of the project.
Proper moisture management is also important behind stone veneer and around cap stone installations. Flashing, drainage components, weeps, sealants, water-resistive barriers, coping details, and transitions should work together as part of the specified exterior wall assembly.
BRIT-TEX Construction focuses on installing the specified stone masonry assembly while coordinating critical transitions and connections with the surrounding building envelope.
