𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 - 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐦.💎
At the 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 – 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢 𝐀𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐚 & 𝐔𝐀𝐄, we’re delighted to welcome Tetyana Kovalenko, Founder & Chairwoman of
@EliteStoneTeam1, who will present: “𝐀𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐮𝐱𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞.”
A top-ranking graduate in Geology and Mineralogy from the University of Rome, Tetyana’s fascination with natural stone began during her academic years, complemented by hands-on experience at a quarry equipment manufacturer. In 2000, she founded Elite Stone in Rome with a clear philosophy: “𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑠 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑎 𝑑𝑖𝑎𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑑, 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑒𝑐𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑠 𝑟𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡, 𝑓𝑙𝑎𝑤𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙-𝑐𝑢𝑡.”
Under her leadership, Elite Stone has become a global leader in high-end marble and onyx solutions, delivering meticulously selected and crafted natural stone for prestigious luxury developments worldwide.🌍
In this session, Tetyana will challenge the misconception that value engineering equals compromise. In high-profile Gulf projects, visible downgrades in finishes directly impact 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐀𝐃𝐑, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. Instead, she reframes value engineering as a 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲, pragmatic interventions that maintain the designer’s signature intent while eliminating waste, shortening programmes, and lowering total cost of ownership.
Drawing on Elite Stone’s project portfolio, she will share concrete, immediately applicable tactics, including safeguarding non-negotiable signature surfaces in RFPs, requiring nesting and yield transparency reports, moving finishing upstream through prefabrication and CNC nesting, and evaluating bids based on five-year total cost of ownership rather than unit price alone.📈
Through an anonymised case example, attendees will see measurable outcomes: fewer installation days, reduced onsite rework, optimised material usage, and uncompromised visual quality. Participants will leave with practical procurement language, a one-page implementation checklist, and a clear ROI framework to present to stakeholders.
This is a must-attend session for teams determined to deliver luxury at scale, without sacrificing margins, timelines, or reputation.🙌🏻
