Waterford Stone Case Study – Lennar Homes (Atlanta, GA)

Download Lennar Homes Waterford Stone Case Study

Lennar Homes has been building homes for over 50 years, spanning over 50 markets across 17 states. Recently, the Atlanta office began shopping for a new veneer for their Atlanta area residences. When they found Waterford Stone, one of the product lines of Artisan Masonry Stone Veneers™ by Oldcastle, they discovered a product that not only achieved the look they were seeking, but a number of added benefits.

"Because it's a structural veneer, we could brick off of it," said Chris Harris, Director of Purchasing for Lennar Homes. "This allowed us to achieve a stone look without the higher costs of stacked stone and the issues with stacked stone's inability to support brick loads. And since Waterford installs in the same manner as brick, we were able to get our normal brick mason to do the installations and avoid coordinating different trade partners."

Lennar has now built over 20 homes with Waterford Stone veneer in the Atlanta market. "The elevations that feature the stone have shown to be more popular than the elevations without it," said Harris.
