Don't delay in involving us...

Prior to construction, we identify problems well in advance, addressing potential issues before they can occur. But whether it’s before, during or after construction, it’s never too late to involve us.

HG Cornerstone works diligently to correct design and construction related issues that are discovered before they turn into claims. We also handle construction-related claims and construction defects issues as expert witness.

We begin with the end goal in mind...

Our construction consulting services begin with an initial consultation. Then, we tailor the scope of our services around the defined needs of our clients.

Our approach starts with carefully defining the issues at hand to develop an agreed-upon strategy, a pre-established work scope, and clearly defined set of deliverables. In this way, we work in the most cost-effective manner possible, proceed with the end goal in mind.

We have a solid track record of positive, successful outcomes.
