Intentional Design

Clients appreciate that Cornerstone believes in a collaborative project delivery requiring a heightened respect for the work owners and their design teams have completed prior to including a general contractor in the process. The concept designs resulting from extensive planning and programming form a very specific vision for the owner as to how their building will look and how it will function at completion.

We appreciate this work and the investment our clients make in architectural and engineering expertise. Our job is to add value through construction strategies that maximize the potential of that investment while achieving the original vision.

Design integrity matters to our clients and it matters to us. As a partner in construction, our goal is to build cost savings into the project through value engineering and recommendation of alternative means, methods, and materials. Our team strives to do this while preserving the owner’s program, the aesthetic intent of the designers, and the long term needs of the building’s future occupants.

Quality Craftsmanship

Quality craftsmanship isn’t just the outcome of hard work or putting in the time. It results from years of training, experience, and passion for perfection. Whether it’s the more visible features of a building, such as the exterior siding or custom casework, or the things no occupant will ever see, like the concrete in the footings and foundation, or the intricate web of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, our quality craftsmanship is work you’ll be proud of 27 years later.

Quality craftsmanship comes from quality people who sweat the details and never accept that “good enough” is good enough. Our team expects to produce the best and does, time after time. The buildings we’ve built or renewed serve hundreds of thousands of Alaskans, including healthcare professionals, judges, lawyers, teachers, students, athletes, active duty military personnel and many others. That’s quite a review board and it’s their highest expectations we strive to meet and exceed.

Sensitive Environments

Cornerstone General Contractors, Inc., was formed in 1993 to offer an all-Alaskan general contracting option to the state’s leading organizations. During the last two and a half decades, Cornerstone has become an industry leader and trusted general contractor specializing in collaborative project delivery methods for new commercial construction and precision renovation of existing facilities.

In its first 20 years, community members relied on Cornerstone to complete landmark projects in education, government, healthcare, housing, and industrial sectors, both in Anchorage and in remote communities, from Southeast to the Kenai Peninsula to Kodiak Island and the far west coast of Alaska. Cornerstone’s success reflects our belief that exceeding expectations results from productive relationships with owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors, suppliers, and a respect for those who use the buildings we build.

As Alaskans, we know what it means to train hard and work even harder year-round in some of the worst weather conditions on the planet. Why do we do it? It’s what we love. That sentiment forms the backbone of our company culture. We’re proud of the work we do, who we do it with, and who we do it for. We’re proud to build world class facilities for all Alaskans.
