iCornerstone offers design through construction services and promotes Consumer Controlled Construction as a solution to over-pricing, under performance, unrealistic allowances, and quality issues. We provide designs, labor and material specifications, accurate project costs, camera monitoring, invoice review, project accounting, and construction support that allow the homeowner to act as the general contractor easily and with a minimal time commitment. The first three carry an hourly rate of $100, while the fourth is 15% of the cost of the work as you have defined it. After a free Initial Consultation, we provide a proposal for the cost of our services. Our platform networks regulators, engineers, subcontractors, service providers, and suppliers involved in your project so that everyone knows what everyone else knows, which is the hallmark of transparency and accountability. Everyone is on the same page. Their E-folios resolve the dilemma of "If only I had known, I would have asked." Everyone benefits, and nothing like the platform exists in the industry. Clients must provide us the names of subcontractors we do not know as a means of proving to themselves we do not steer business or have a conflict of interest. This strategy helps our network grow and ensures fairness. Our free, online, Consumer E-Folio / Project Organizer / Property Profile / Research Tool will help you, even if you do not involve us in your project, comes with no strings attached, and respects your privacy. Simply register at icornerstoneinc.com and have fun using it. We claim three remarkable achievements: no client has ever gone over budget; no subcontractor has ever been overpaid or unpaid without cause; and all clients receive the highest quality at the lowest price.

"For our home addition/renovation we are very grateful to have found Richard Connolly and his site iCornerstone. Our vision was a Two-story + basement + livable attic space home addition which would provide significant practical square footage to our existing house and integrate seamlessly with it. We interviewed a number of general contractors but we were overall a bit uncomfortable after the interviews due to gaps in transparency regarding how costs were calculated and how timelines were established, resulting in some lack of confidence. We happened upon Richard’s iCornerstone site via Angies. Richard provided an extremely transparent and detailed description of his unique and practical process, which delivered a set of superb designs along with a truly logical, transparent, and honest listing of costs, both materials and labor, at all stages, and how those costs were derived. Richard also delivered transparency on timelines, and he provided recommendations for all the needed tradespeople that he had historically a close working relationship with; alternatively we could have selected tradespeople of our own choosing. Richard and his process gave us the utmost confidence for proceeding. We proceeded with our renovation under Richard’s guidance and his own crew and the entire process went according to plan with excellent communication, rapport, and confidence at all stages from excavation to final finish work. Transparency, confidence-building, dependability, highly knowledgeable, customer-friendly, and results-oriented are all terms we would use to describe Richard and the iCornerstone process. We strongly recommend Richard for anyone contemplating any home renovation or home addition, large or small."

"Ed was terrific to work with and notably very responsive. In a big complicated project, Ed made himself available on our schedule so my wife and I could make revisions to the design after the kids went to bed. He was also very quick so we could get to full plans in a couple months instead of a much longer process I experienced with other designers. Ed also uses a great 3D software package allowing us to visualize the design from start to finish. Now that our project is built it's amazing how much the real thing looks like the virtual walk-throughs we did. Probably the only real challenge came in that our project had complex structural engineering to do. It all worked out in the end but with communication between designer to engineer to contractor to framers aspects of the work were lost and it took some rework to address. Ed was very responsive as always in working with everyone to figure it out. Ed was also very helpful in keeping the project practical and helping to identify a great contractor who saved us a ton of money. We couldn't have done the full scope of our project without that lead. So many other designers and architects we talked to, even high-end expensive architects, didn't use good 3D CAD software for the design phase. I can't imagine doing a big complicated project without that tool and Ed is expert in its use and it's a huge value-add. You really get to walk through your project and try it out before building it. We're finishing up our project and I haven't found anything yet that seems out of place or the wrong size - it's great! And again, above all Ed is fast and responsive which is a unique quality among almost everyone we've worked with. Recommended!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

A blueprint is more detailed than a floor plan. There are different types of floor plans, one of which is a type of blueprint view. However, the blueprint will contain more information about that plan and is drawn to scale. Most residential floor plans give homeowners a simplified view of their construction project, while blueprints have all the details to turn that plan into reality.

The architect you choose to work with should have experience with the type of design you’re interested in, a portfolio of similar projects they’ve completed, and a process and work style that aligns with your expectations. A seasoned architect will be able to provide you with all that information so you can ensure they’re a good fit.

While the Arts and Crafts movement inspired many architectural elements, the primary styles from the time include Craftsman, Tudor Revivals, bungalows, and Mission homes. You'll see elements of these styles in homes, churches, museums, and schools—particularly Country Day schools from the era.

Finding an architect for your project demands looking at the professional’s past work, speaking with prior clients to see what their experience was like, and discussing your project and vision with the expert to see what kind of input they have. Look for an architect that gets excited about your project or has experience with similar projects.

Yes, floor joists are essential structural components. They support the weight of floors and everything on them, transferring loads to the foundation and walls. Properly installed joists are necessary for maintaining strength, stability, and structural integrity.
