CORNERSTONE ARCHITECTS

Cornerstone Architects is a recently formed architectural

firm. It was founded in 1984 by its partners who were also
principals in Cornerstone Planning Group Limited, a company
providing service delivery and facilities programming expertise
for 14 years. The firm has grown from a small architectural
practice conducted under the name of one of the partners, J.L.
Bancroft. The change in name and structure reflects intentions
to extend the scope of professional.services the combined
operations can provide, and to integrate the planning
discipline with the firm's approach to architectural services.

Cornerstone Architects has the capability to conduct the prime
consultant role with expertise to provide full architectural
and structural engineering services. As. an extension of the
prime consultant team, cost estimation/control expertise is
provided by Barnett Treharne Yates Ltd. Depending on the needs
of the project, the total consulting team usually includes, in
addition, mechanical, electrical and soils engineering
‘subconsultants, selected as best suits the project.

In all projects, Cornerstone stresses an attitude that the
building must respond to the needs of its users. As. a result,
client interaction during the program definition and design
process is vital. To encourage the effectiveness of this
interaction, three dimensional models are used extensively, as
well as are other communication techniques.

The following list describes the project experience of
Cornerstone Architects. Additional material describing the
background of Cornerstone Planning Group Limited and individual

team members is available.
