Earlier this spring, some of the most respected custom home builders in the country gathered on Long Beach Island for the NAHB 20 Club #24 meeting—an exclusive, invitation-only network focused on advancing the craft of home building.

Among them was Living Stone Design + Build, continuing its commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation, performance, and client experience.

What Is a 20 Club—and Why It Matters

The NAHB 20 Club program brings together high-performing builders from non-competing markets to share insights, financial benchmarking, and best practices in a setting built on transparency and collaboration.

In short, it’s where the industry’s top minds come together to sharpen their processes and push each other forward.

Beyond the Meeting Room

This particular gathering went beyond discussion. Builders explored the unique demands of coastal construction—from flood elevation requirements to material durability and environmental considerations—gaining hands-on perspective into building in one of the country’s most challenging environments.

These types of immersive experiences translate directly into better building strategies, smarter systems, and more resilient homes.

What It Means for Our Clients

For Living Stone, participation in groups like the 20 Club is about more than professional development—it’s about delivering a higher standard of homebuilding.

By continuously learning alongside the best in the country, we’re able to refine our processes, integrate new ideas, and bring forward-thinking solutions to every project we take on.

Because building your home isn’t just about today—it’s about creating something that performs, endures, and lives well for years to come.
