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."

McCormack Builders formerly known as MMC Carpentry was established in Boston in 2003. We are a general contracting company specializing in new home builds, architectural plans, frame to finish carpentry, roofing, and all associated building services. Since our company was established we have built a reputation for quality workmanship and client satisfaction. A hallmark of our work is including the client in every step of the process down to the smallest detail. Innovation, communication to problem solving, and pride in our work assure a successful project. We are EPA lead certified. call us at 617-549-1542. We look forward toward hearing from you!

"Overall project went very well - the bathrooms are beautiful and functional. We did not have an architect, just worked with Mike and our own design preferences. Mike was great at working through design issues that came up, and also at guiding selections. Very personable and fun guy to work with. Somethings outstanding, some very very good, and just a few areas could be better The outstanding - initial pricing of the job - very clear, and he held price except for major changes; his direct crew (did demo, protection, carpentry) also excellent; electrical & tile awesome. Mike was also great at working through issues around our historic district and building inspection (and Brookline can be a pain). Very impressive. The very very good - Mike worked us into his schedule very quickly - these days that’s pretty great. He communicated very well on start up and schedule of early work. He was also great at helping us address a major issue that came up - replacing knob and tube wiring throughout house. Mike also has a good strategy for managing the selection of tile and plumbing fixtures, b/c pricing is so variable for these - you go direct to supplier and get contractor prices. The one issue with this is that the sub isn’t fully coordinated with the selections - wasn’t an issue for tile, but for plumbing the fittings & connections weren’t fully coordinated - but that was addressed by the plumber and Mike. The areas that weren’t perfect - guys did not provide ventilation during demo, as a result we had concrete and plaster dust everywhere from the old thick set bathroom. As job progressed, and we had added complexity of the knob & tube, we had some communication drops. Finally, biggest area: the plumber was the weakest link in his subs (but there may have been extenuating circumstances.) We had some issues there - Mike addressed, but that was one area where we had less than smooth sailing. We would use Mike again without hesitation."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

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.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.
