North Macedonia Marble Facade Cladding — Turnkey Turkish Quality

Sipahi Mermer delivers a skilled installation crew from Turkey, a supervising engineer and material to North Macedonia under one roof. Backed by 100% zero customs duty under the Turkey-North Macedonia Free Trade Agreement and 45 years as a manufacturer, at a turnkey price range (excluding scaffolding) below Kosovo and Kazakhstan.

What Is Turnkey?

Turnkey means Sipahi manages your project end-to-end — from material sourcing to installation delivery — under one roof. For North Macedonia projects, this model covers:

Material

Marble/granite/travertine cut to project dimensions with surface finishing completed — supplied directly from our Sakarya workshop.

Installation Crew

A skilled crew sent from Turkey, experienced in AISI 316 mechanical anchoring systems; Sipahi organizes the team and manages the visa process.

Supervising Engineer

A Sipahi engineer handling on-site technical quality control and installation oversight.

Contract + Warranty

A EUR-denominated written contract with a 5-year warranty after delivery.

Logistics Coordination

Overland shipping planning and delivery tracking from Sakarya to Skopje.

SCAFFOLDING IS EXCLUDED FROM SCOPE. Erecting and providing scaffolding on site is the contractor's or client's responsibility — Sipahi does not erect scaffolding. This is why the price range is quoted excluding scaffolding.

Why Sipahi Turnkey North Macedonia?

STA 100% Zero Duty

The Turkey-North Macedonia Free Trade Agreement has been in force since 2000; industrial products, including marble, carry full zero customs duty from the North Macedonian side since 2008 — one of the clearest customs advantages in the Balkans, directly lowering material cost.

45 Years of Sipahi Assurance

Uninterrupted manufacturing identity since 1989; MERSİS-registered company, Corporate banking credit facility providing capacity assurance for high-volume orders.

AISI 316 Mechanical Anchoring

Stainless mechanical hanging system for exterior facade applications — resistant to coastal/humidity conditions, a long-life installation standard.

Ada Hayat Reference

The travertine facade + AISI 316 mechanical anchoring technical infrastructure applied on the active Ada Hayat project in Sakarya is used identically on North Macedonia projects.

Cevahir + Sahterm + TAV Ecosystem

Cevahir Holding's 300 million EUR residential investment, Sahterm Group's 25 million EUR factory investment, and TAV's concession over Skopje and Ohrid airports valid until 2028 — we position ourselves within an active, concrete Turkish investor network in Skopje.

More Affordable Than Kosovo and Kazakhstan

Thanks to geographic proximity and the STA zero-duty advantage, the North Macedonia Turnkey price range (2,200-3,300 TRY/m²) sits below Kosovo and Kazakhstan Turnkey prices.

Three Product Models

Model 1 — Raw Supply

Supply of unprocessed/standard-cut marble, granite and travertine slabs; cutting and installation are carried out by your local crew or distributor.

Model 2 — Cut-to-Size

Material CNC-cut to your project's exact dimensions with surface finishing completed (polished, honed, brushed); installation carried out by a local crew. Our primary model for Skopje's active residential/office construction pipeline.

Model 3 — Turnkey — This Page

Material + cutting + a skilled installation crew from Turkey + supervising engineer under one roof. Scaffolding is EXCLUDED from scope. Price range (excluding scaffolding): 2,200-3,300 TRY/m² — more affordable than Kosovo and Kazakhstan.

Price Range

2,200 - 3,300 TRY/m²

Scaffolding excluded

Full turnkey price — includes material + cutting + installation crew + supervising engineer. SCAFFOLDING IS EXCLUDED (covered by the contractor or client; Sipahi does not erect scaffolding).

The contract is fixed in writing on a EUR basis; Macedonian Denar (MKD) exchange-rate volatility remains with the counterparty rather than being carried by Sipahi.

More affordable than the Kosovo and Kazakhstan Turnkey price ranges — thanks to geographic proximity and the STA 100% zero-duty advantage.

    Survey

    Project dimensions, facade/flooring plan and site conditions are clarified remotely via documentation and, where needed, an on-site survey.

    Quote

    A detailed written quote covering material, cutting, installation crew and supervising engineer, presented on a EUR basis.

  3. 3

Frequently Asked Questions

What does turnkey mean?
Turnkey means Sipahi manages your project end-to-end under one roof: material + cutting + a skilled installation crew from Turkey + supervising engineer + a EUR-denominated contract + a 5-year warranty. In North Macedonia we offer this model excluding scaffolding.
Is scaffolding included?
No. Scaffolding is excluded from scope — erecting and providing scaffolding on site is the contractor's or client's responsibility, Sipahi does not erect scaffolding. Our price range (2,200-3,300 TRY/m²) is therefore quoted excluding scaffolding.
Is the STA zero duty really applied?
Yes. The Turkey-North Macedonia Free Trade Agreement was signed in 1999 and has been in force since 2000. Industrial products, including marble, granite and travertine, carry full zero customs duty in both directions — the Turkish side since 2003, and the North Macedonian side at 100% zero since 1 January 2008.
How does payment and currency work?
Payments are denominated in EUR and fixed in a written contract. Macedonian Denar (MKD) exchange-rate volatility is fixed into this stable-currency contract this way; purchasing-power risk remains with the buyer rather than being carried by Sipahi.
How does the visa process work for the crew from Turkey?
Sipahi manages the visa and travel organization for the skilled installation crew sent from Turkey. This process can take somewhat longer in North Macedonia than in Kosovo; this difference is factored into Turnkey price planning and the process is clarified in writing in advance.
