“Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.”
Ephesians 2:19-20

CORNERSTONE© is a unique program developed by SGS to aid in determining the necessary design elements of a facility. The program eliminates false starts and is a progressive, yet easily understandable process. The building committee at Seven Sorrows found that SGS and the CORNERSTONE program enabled them to make substantial progress and complete their feasibility study.

CORNERSTONE provides the solid foundation that leads into design development and ensures that the present and future needs of the parish are considered. The completed study will be the guide that enables the parish to build a highly functional, effective, and efficient facility.

“We had originally engaged another firm for the project, but made the change after a year of frustration and no tangible results.

Using the program that SGS has developed we were able, as a team, to make understandable progress at each meeting and not waste time. The documentation and discipline their system brought to our committee allowed us to finish our feasibility study and initial design with an end product we are very proud of.”
