The Living Stone Difference
For more than 30 years, Living Stone Design + Build has been exceeding expectations through the renovation and new construction process for clients all over the country relocating to Western North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Most builders in our market can pour a foundation and frame a house. Few can walk with you through the entire journey — from your first budget conversation to the furniture in your living room, years after move-in. That’s the gap our 8 Levels of Service was built to close.
It starts with Partner by Design, where we hand-select the architects, designers, and trade partners best suited to your specific project — not a generic rotation of subs. It continues through Priced by Design, where we set clear, honest expectations around budget from day one, so there are no surprises down the road.
Because we believe a truly sustainable home is one you can stay in for life, Age by Design builds aging-in-place principles into the plan before the first wall goes up. And while plenty of builders talk about “green,” Green by Design is where we put our name on the line: every home we build is Energy Star Certified by a 3rd party energy rater to the standards of NC Green Built, 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.
Where most builders stop at the framing and finishes, we keep going. Interiors by Design brings space planning and interior design into the process from the start, not as an afterthought. Build by Design is where our decades of design-to-build experience come together in the field. Furnishing by Design, through our sister company Atelier Maison & Co., means we help you live green, not just build green. And Maintenance by Design means our relationship doesn’t end at the final walkthrough — our Preventative Maintenance program keeps your home performing the way it should for years to come.
It’s this full-circle approach — spanning partnership, budget, longevity, health, design, construction, furnishings, and long-term care — that sets the Living Stone Standard apart from a typical builder relationship. We don’t just build houses. We build with no regrets.
