Phidias combines the millennia-old traditional skills of the master stonemason together with 21st-century state-of-the-art computer-aided machinery and CAD design. Three generations of master craftsmanship delivering architectural commissions across the UK and worldwide.
Phidias Neo-Classical is a long-established Bristol stonemason based in the Brislington region of Bristol. A family business, Phidias currently comprises three generations of the Dring family, with stonemasonry being in the family blood going back generations.
We deliver projects from the most extravagant bespoke commissions to clean, minimalist contemporary aesthetics, and pride ourselves on having worked on some of the most prestigious buildings of past and present.
Despite being a Bristol stonemason, we work throughout the UK, Europe, and the world, where our specialist stonemasonry skills are sought after by private clients and public institutions alike.
We have invested strongly in the best stone cutting and stone turning machinery available to speed up production—all whilst maintaining millimetre-perfect precision.
UK Capability: Phidias is one of the few stonemasons in the UK able to cut and work very large blocks of stone on our machinery. Traditionally, this sort of work would be handled on the Continent.
End-to-end stonemasonry solutions spanning material sourcing, CAD rendering, precision turning, and conservation.
