When you get to know someone, you learn what they value, how they listen, their openness to ideas and their commitment to showing up and getting the job done. At Cornerstone, our foundation of care and attention fuels our daily work. It keeps us focused on providing you with the finest results and the best experience at every step along the way.
In timber framing, like much of life, experience is the best teacher. Over the decades we have been honoured to work on hundreds of challenging projects that tested our creative and technical skills. We bring curiosity and humbleness to our work, practices of the mind that help us provide innovative and robust solutions to our clients.
Our world is intricate, beautiful, and finite. We borrow it from our grandchildren and take responsibility for using what it provides with gratitude and care. Our company’s timber frames sequester carbon from the environment for generations and every shred of wood fibre not part of a frame is recycled or re-purposed.
Our work goes beyond building structures. We provide meaningful jobs and a welcoming workplace. We celebrate our employees who show us every day that diversity makes us stronger, happier and more creative. Our employees give back, sharing their skills coaching youth, providing fire protection services, planning community events, and helping charitable organizations.
We make strong connections: with architects, engineers, consultants and builders to find great solutions, reduce costs and improve the flow of information. And all our work is dedicated to serving clients, making the next generation of homes, workplaces and civic spaces more beautiful, durable and efficient.
We love to discover multiple bottom lines in every project. Sometimes these are simple: like achieving a challenging timeline, or subtle: a neat design detail that few will ever notice. But the best are those full-circle moments when goodness shines through, a family is safely housed, a community is empowered, and lives are made better.
