“ 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.”
- Dale Tomasek
Traditional Craftsmanship with
21st Century Building Science.
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.

CERTIFICATIONS
KNOW IT’S DONE RIGHT.
Cornerstone Construction has experience in
having homes gain certifications, sometimes
referred to as “third party verification” of the
sustainable and green methods used to build
the home. Homeowners who seek these
certifications then have tangible evidence of the
building science that was incorporated into
their home, sometimes enhancing the value of
the home upon resale. We would be happy to
support your desire to achieve a third-party
verification of the building practices. Please
know, however, that even for those clients
choosing not to seek certification, our building
practices not only meet, but often exceed, the
basic requirements for those certifications.

that can provide some good ideas about all of
those terms.
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). Read on…
