Our story

Cornerstone started with a builder's frustration: in Detroit, it was too hard to find reliable labor, trustworthy pricing, and quality work at a fair value.

So we built the company we wished we could hire. Every project starts with preconstruction: a real scope, real bids, and a number owners and lenders can trust. Then we deliver it with the same discipline, from a single home to a multi-building redevelopment.

Today we serve developers, owners, lenders, and general contractors across Metro Detroit, with a growing network of vetted trade partners behind every project.
