Preconstruction Services
How we can assist in getting you shovel ready
Cornerstone Builders Group offers a comprehensive range of services to assist clients in the planning, design, and construction of various projects, including residential and commercial buildings. One of their primary services is contract third-party site and existing condition inspections, which involves hiring qualified engineers to conduct various assessments such as geotechnical evaluations, environmental surveys, and traffic circulation assessments to ensure that the construction process meets local regulations and standards.
In addition, they coordinate the development of design and construction documents, including drawings, specifications, and project plans, through qualified firms specializing in civil, architectural, structural, and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineering. This service ensures that the project meets projected construction budgets and satisfies permitting requirements set by planning board resolutions, redevelopment agreements, PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreements, state, county, and borough/village/township regulations.
Before beginning construction, Cornerstone Builders Group ensures that all pre-construction permitting requirements are met from local, county, and state governmental agencies, such as the NJDEP TWA (Treatment Works Approval), NJDEP Safe Drinking Water Permit, Soil Conservation District Certification, and County and Local Permits, as required.
Moreover, they develop a comprehensive financial model for underwriting capital, which includes sources and uses of cash, construction, mezzanine, and permanent loan amortization schedules, unit mix, rent roll, lease-up schedules, and operating statements. This allows clients to assess the feasibility of the project and helps them raise capital from multiple sources, including institutional/senior debt, mezzanine/junior debt, equity (cash and balance sheet) investors, or partners.
