New Home Construction

 

FOR most people, your home represents your single biggest investment.  LSC also recognizes that custom home construction can be downright nerve-racking for many homeowners.  General Manager Sean Sullivan is sensitive to that perception and suggests that prospective clients look at LSC's motto, "Because your house is your home."   That means that LSC custom homes are created with the owner's best interest always in mind.  We work hand-in-hand with the owner and architect to create that one-of-a-kind dream home.

"(T)he house is beyond our expectations."  William Green

We are pleased to offer the NC Healthy Built Homes program to our prospective clients.  NC Healthy Built Homes is a voluntary, state-wide green building certification program supported by the North Carolina Solar Center, the State Energy Office, Home Builder Associations and other building professional organizations.  Click here to see the NC Healthy Built Homes Checklist.

"The project basically had no hiccups and flowed very smoothly among architect, contractor and owner.  We really have only praise.  Your recommendation of Sean was outstanding and his choice of Sam was a perfect match!"   William E. Scheu

"We shape our dwellings, and afterwards, our dwellings shape our lives."  Sir Winston Churchill


Before starting a new home, we present clients with a proprietary spreadsheet which identifies all costs including building materials, subcontractors, labor, tax, and margin.  Nothing is hidden and it is very easy to make changes in the estimating process. 
We also realize that 'true construction costs' vary from estimates in that material prices fluctuate and changes are ordered, so we have developed a 'Cost Tracking' spreadsheet that shows you where your money is being spent in relation to the original estimate.

"Thanks, Sean, for a great home.  You have been such a blessing to us.  In His Service,  Bob & Susan"

Decisions, decisions, decisions!

It goes without saying that building a new home involves a lot of decisions.  LSC tries to make that as painless as possible by providing you with a list of vendors who we have found to be of the highest quality, reliability and integrity.  We encourage you to coordinate beforehand with your Superintendent if you are planning on using a vendor not on our Preferred Vendor List.

"Thank you for your patience, odd-time phone calls and soft-spoken confidence (in me and the house) which lifted my spirits many times.  Your whole family was sent by the LORD to me."  K. Pyron, Black Mountain, NC (LSC customer)

Clients will also find a Timeline for Major Decisions which lists the decisions that you will need to make concerning the products that you want installed in your new home and when you will need to make them.  Failure to make these decisions in a timely manner may result in delaying the completion of your new home.

Production, Efficiency, Quality and Craftsmanship

LSC strives to maintain a very delicate balance between efficiency and craftsmanship.  Many homeowner's will talk about building a house that took a year to finish when it was really a ten-month project.  We only deal with the best subcontractors who are as dedicated to quality and efficiency as we are; we get the job done in the right amount of time.  One of our specialties is scheduling, i.e., getting the subcontractors efficiently sequenced.  This is another characteristic that sets LSC apart as a company and results in faster project completion.

"Living Stone Construction is one of the best builders in the area.  They have a high sense of integrity and work to ensure that quality standards are met.  They work closely with their clients and deliver an excellent product."  Gretchen Naff
