        "text": "Before ordering materials or starting work, several structural and design details must be confirmed. First, verify that your floor structure can support the weight of stone without flexing; deflection causes cracked tiles and failed grout. Second, measure the full area and account for a 15% to 20% overage factor for cuts, pattern matching, and natural vein variations. You should also decide between polished, honed, or tumbled finishes, as this affects slip resistance in showers. Finally, check whether existing plumbing fixtures match your new stone layout, as adjusting drain heights or valve rough-ins is much easier before stone cutting begins.",
