New build,
groundworks to handover.
Complete commercial construction under one contract, from design and planning through structure and services to the finished interior.
What we deliver
From groundworks
to handover.
Complete new-build commercial construction run by Cornerstone from the ground up, with the same precision we bring to a fit out. Once the structure is up, our team moves straight into the commercial interior fit out, and brands opening several sites can standardise them through our corporate reimaging service.
A standalone commercial building, a hotel, a leisure facility or a healthcare campus: one team, one contract, one point of accountability from first sod to final key.
Crow Wood Hotel shows what that means in practice. The building, the ballroom, restaurant, bars and reception were all delivered by our own people under a single contract.
