“ We shouldn’t just ‘build to code’ but actually
far exceed it so that our homes are not lasting
25 years, but rather 100 years, 200 years, or
more.”

DESIGN PROCESS
HOW DO WE GET THERE?
We
have
forged
relationships
with
architects
who
share
their
same
mission
and
vision
for
building
high-performance,
sustainable
homes.
We
encourage
you
to
contact
us
before
you
begin
the
design
process
with
an
architect
since
incorporating
high-performance
features
begins
with
such
basic
concepts
as
house
placement
on
the
site
and
goes
on
to
include
a
multitude
of
details
all
along
the
way.
However,
if
you
bring
your
own
concept,
we
can
work
with
you
to
be
sure
it
incorporates the best of current building science. We strive to help you bring your dream home to life.
BUDGET
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We
understand
that
the
cost
to
build
a
new
home
is
a
crucial
point
of
discussion.
For
many,
this
may
be
one
of
the
largest
investments they will make in their lifetime.
Just
as
competence
of
work
is
an
essential
element
of
a
good
builder,
so
too
is
delivering
the
project
on
budget.
We
thought
it
may
be
helpful
to
provide
some
information
about
how
other
builders
may
address
cost
of
a
new
build,
and
then
give
you
information
about
our
approach.
We
feel
that
in
particular,
our
approach
to
the
building
cost
is
unique,
setting
us
apart
from
the vast majority of builders in our area.

ADDITIONS/RENOVATIONS
UPDATE FOR EFFICIENCY.
What’s
more
‘green’
than
not
building
new
but
instead,
staying
where
you
are
and
improving
the home you currently live in?
Cornerstone
brings
a
tremendous
amount
of
knowledge
about
renovations
of
all
types.
From
a
whole-house
gut-rehab,
to
a
simple
overhaul
of
a
powder
room,
we
can
ensure
that
your
home
works
for
you,
in
the
most
beautiful
way
possible.
Additions
and
renovations
are
all
unique
to
the
home
and
the
homeowner
and
we’ll
work
to
provide
a
beautiful
update
or
addition
to
your
space
in
a
timely
way
and
within
your
budget.
And
we’ll
suggest
greener,
more
energy-efficient
options
wherever
appropriate.
CUSTOM HOME BUILDING
QUALITY. GUARANTEED.
Cornerstone
Construction
is
committed
to
building
sustainable,
high-performing
homes.
Taking
a
chapter
or
two
from
what
true
craftsman
builders
have
known
for
centuries,
we
embrace
the
idea
that
nature
can
help
us
achieve
some
important
elements
of
comfort.
This
may
include
orienting
the
home
to
best
capture
the
winter’s
sunlight
to
help
passively
heat
the
home,
while
also
incorporating
features
that
reduce
the
sun’s
harsh
glare
in
the
summer.
It
may
also
mean
simply
reducing
the
size
of
the
home
in
some
areas
(such
as
the
bedrooms),
and
instead,
expending
resources
on
those
shared
spaces
that
enhance
our
family
relationships
(such
as
the kitchen and family rooms).
