Brian Robert, Kitchen and Bath Design

We were very blessed to get a hold of Brian just shortly after his arrival from a design position at a high-end design/build firm in West Hartford, Connecticut. Brian has developed a reputation for smooth running projects, creative problem solving, analyzing functionality of spaces and most importantly he creates beautiful designs. Immediately after completing Brigham Young's University's Product Design Program, Brian started designing furniture in the private sector. Brian has also taught "Kitchen and Bath Design" and "Kitchen and Bath Trends" in West Hartford and surrounding communities. Brian is happily married and has a beautiful daughter.


Sheila Bird, Office Manager

We are so glad Sheila came to us after graduating from Brigham Young University. She is a definite asset to the organization. We are not sure how prior to her arrival, we got along without her. She is focused, dedicated, friendly and has superior organizational skills. We are happy she is now part of our growing family.

Our labor staff and sub-contractors are all qualified, experienced and very knowledgeable. It is nice after so many years in the business, we have found people we love working with that are honest, trustworthy and reliable individuals that we consider family. Thanks to everyone for so many wonderful years! At Cornerstone Construction Company our team is like family and teamwork is our motto.
