At Cornerstone, constructing sustainable or “green” buildings is just something that we do. We understand the products, technologies, and construction methods required to build "high performance buildings". Alaska’s geography, weather, tight buildings, and lack of winter sun, presented opportunities for innovation for the Alaska construction industry decades before “green buildings” became part of the popular culture. We have always paid attention to reducing waste, finding materials that are close to the project site and finding ways to reduce energy use. We use our depth of understanding to help owners in Alaska realize the savings and benefits of developing sustainable or green buildings |
