Where Communities Take Shape

Every project Cornerstone builds is rooted in the people it serves.

Before construction begins, we work alongside owners, designers, and community stakeholders to plan facilities that support daily life, critical services, and long-term use. Through thoughtful pre-development and preconstruction, we help create spaces that function well, endure over time, and positively impact the communities around them.

HOW WE WORK

Pre-development &
Early planning

This is where alignment begins.

Cornerstone partners with owners early—often before design is complete—to help shape projects that respond to real needs. By bringing construction insight into early conversations, we help clarify priorities, evaluate options, and identify risks that could affect cost, schedule, and the people who will ultimately use the space.

Our role during this phase is to listen, advise, and help establish a clear path forward.

Services Include:

  • Feasibility studies and site evaluation
  • Conditions assessments
  • Delivery method analysis
  • Risk identification and mitigation planning
  • Civil, site, and utilities review
  • Site options and scenario analysis
  • Early cost modeling and budget validation

PREConstruction

Preconstruction is where vision becomes workable.

Cornerstone collaborates closely with owners and design teams to ensure facilities are thoughtfully planned, buildable, and responsive to both program needs and long-term use. We focus on preserving design intent while coordinating the details that allow projects to move into construction with confidence.

Early trade partner involvement helps identify efficiencies and reduce disruption—especially important for active facilities and sensitive environments.

Services Include:

  • Design and constructability review
  • Value engineering
  • Early procurement and pre-purchasing
  • Subcontractor packaging and early trade partner selection
  • Schedule development and monitoring
  • GMP development
  • Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination

Construction

Construction is where planning supports people.

With a strong foundation in place, Cornerstone’s construction teams focus on safety, coordination, and quality—while maintaining respect for those who work in, rely on, or live near the facilities we build.

We understand that many projects occur in active environments, and we take care to minimize disruption while maintaining progress.

Services Include:

  • Subcontractor coordination and trade interface agreements
  • Critical path schedule management
  • Cost and document control
  • Quality assurance and safety management
  • Permitting and compliance
  • Self-performed work (Divisions 03, 06, and 10)
  • Dispute resolution

CLOSE-OUT & CONTINUITY

Our responsibility extends beyond completion.

Cornerstone supports owners through close-out and beyond—helping ensure facilities perform as intended and continue to serve their communities well into the future.

Services Include:

  • Commissioning and close-out
  • Warranty and maintenance management
  • Tenant improvements
  • Emergency response services
  • Service continuation planning

How We Work

Our work is guided by respect—for clients, trade partners, and the people who use the buildings we construct. Subcontractor selection is transparent and based on quality, performance, and value. As a 100% Alaskan owned and staffed general contractor, Cornerstone is proud to build spaces that support healthcare, education, government, housing, and industry across the state—strengthening communities one project at a time.
