ABOUT.
Twenty years ago, Mathew Carneiro’s time working in Spain inspired him to put stonemasonry at the centre of his business. Now, that knowledge is used to restore and repair heritage buildings in South Australia, winding back the clock on buildings broken over many years.
Founded in 2010, Structural Stonemasonry not only keeps the traditional craft alive, but preserves structures built between 1855–1960 in a way that brings value and function to the lifestyles of today, all the while respecting the methodologies and materials of the past.
We source locally reclaimed stone and newly cut heritage stone so the repairs are always sympathetic to the original quarried material that was used at the time of its construction. This honours the workers who constructed these heritage assets and also the people who they were built for then, today and most importantly for tomorrow.
