Who we are

One group.
Every building need.

Most projects mean stitching together a dozen contractors. We think that's backwards.

Cornerstone brings construction, civil engineering, renewable energy, roofing and fit-out into a single business. You deal with one team, one point of accountability and one relationship, not a scramble of trades who've never worked together.

One accountable partner

Design, groundworks, build, roof, fit-out and power under one contract. Nobody to hand the blame to.

The whole life of the building

From the first survey to planned maintenance years after handover.

Lancashire based, working UK wide

From a listed barn in the Ribble Valley to a national solar and roofing programme.

Sustainability

Building better
shouldn't cost the earth.

It's why our energy division exists. We design out waste, source responsibly and help clients decarbonise the buildings they already own, without compromising quality or programme.

Been a pleasure to work with Lee, Cornerstone. Professional, high quality traditional barn restoration. Continuous communication with the client and the Forest of Bowland NL as the funding body (Defra funded). Would definitely recommend.

Tarja WilsonFiPL Lead Officer, Forest of Bowland National Landscape

We’ve worked with Cornerstone on two major healthcare projects. Their understanding of infection control and working in live clinical environments sets them apart from any contractor we’ve used.

Dan SawyerDirector of Engineering, Greater Lancashire Hospitals

Cornerstone delivered an excellent service throughout our solar installations at Booker, demonstrating professionalism, strong communication and a real commitment to quality. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

FAQs

Good questions, straight answers.

Can't see your question here? Our team is happy to talk it through.

What does Cornerstone Group do?

We bring construction and civils, renewable energy, roofing and cladding, and fit-out and joinery into one group. That makes us a single partner that can design, build, power and protect the spaces you run.

Can one company really handle my whole project?

Yes. Because every discipline sits within one group, you deal with one team, one point of accountability and one relationship, which means tighter coordination, fewer gaps in scope and a clearer programme.

Do I have to use all four of your services?

Not at all. Each division is a specialist in its own right, so you can pick the one you need today or let us handle the lot.

Do you work on single sites or national roll-outs?

Both. Our fit-out business has been delivering for national brands since 1986, and as a group we work as a partner who understands your whole estate, whether that is one unit or a national roll-out.
