What Our Clients Say
My husband and I worked extensively and closely with Alison when we added another story to our Annapolis house. It was a complicated process requiring reconfiguration of the existing house as well as major new construction. Alison’s company both designed the addition and reconfiguration and built it. They did a beautiful job and we are extremely happy with the results. Alison herself was hands-on for every step in the process from obtaining the permits to the finishing touches. She knows all the suppliers and subcontractors and was great about keeping us informed about changes in delivery schedules and the many other headaches inevitable in a construction project.

What Our Architects Think
Alison brings a level of professionalism, clarity, and energy to every project that truly sets Cornerstone apart. Alison and her team are focused on clear communication, keeping everyone—clients, consultants, contractors, and designers—on the same page. That kind of transparency makes our job as architects significantly easier and helps create a smooth, collaborative process from concept through construction.
One thing we really appreciate is Cornerstone’s approach to budget-conscious bid solicitation. Alison is incredibly strategic in finding competitive pricing while still honoring the design vision and quality standards. We’ve seen her save clients money without cutting corners or compromising intent—something that’s not easy to pull off.
Scheduling is another area where they shine. With streamlined timelines and proactive planning, Cornerstone keeps projects moving and avoids the kind of delays that can derail momentum. Alison is always a step ahead, which allows the rest of the team to stay focused and efficient.
What really sets Alison and her team apart, though, is how invested they are in the client’s goals. They don’t just “manage” a project—they partner in it. That mindset creates an atmosphere of trust, where everyone is moving toward the same end goal. It’s been a huge part of the success we’ve seen on past projects and it’s why we’re excited to continue working with Cornerstone on many more to come.
