Cornerstone Management Services (CMS)

Protect and progress our community by redefining the exterior building performance.


CMS has been part of the Big Sky community for over 20 years, working in one of the most challenging alpine climates. Our experience in an environment with the potential for extreme building failures has shaped our expertise. We believe in the importance of exterior envelope specialists who understand the unique demands of high-alpine construction.


Our passion for building science has driven us to seek partnerships that push innovation forward. Sponsoring an MSU Capstone Project was a natural step in that journey, leading us to explore cold roofing efficacy and collaborate with bright minds like Teran, who later joined our team. Since then, we've continued to work with MSU on projects tackling WUI-compliant venting and energy efficiency, reinforcing our commitment to continuous learning.


Engaging with leaders like Joe Lstiburek and communities like Building Science and Beer reminds us why we do what we do: to build better. These discussions provide a space to challenge assumptions, refine best practices, and raise the bar for building performance. We look forward to sharing our historical knowledge of cold roofing with this group—not just to present, but to collaborate. As new materials and challenges arise, our goal is to work together, learn from one another, and build systems that stand the test of time.

A message from James Childre:

 I wanted to let everyone know about the Montana Code Conference coming up in March.  There are several tracks everyday and at least one per day is related to energy code or mechanical ventilation. Also, shameless plug, I will be presenting with 3 others on Ventilation and IAQ on Tuesday.  Did I mention it is all FREE, but space is limited, so use this link to register. There are also vendors and booths in an expo hall, as well as lunch and social hour afterward to network with other professionals. It may be the one time you actually WANT to talk to a code official.  It is a great way to learn about all of the changes and updated in the building code here in Montana.  Come check it out!

Committed to Knowledge, Growth, & Collaboration

BS* and Beer is a local discussion group for builders, architects,  engineers, tradespeople and anyone interested in better building.  Building Science* is  simply the laws of physics, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics applied to  the building. We gather monthly at a brewery, pub or job site to  discuss these  topics in our industry, enjoy a few refreshments, and engage in the high  performance building community.

Building Thermal Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

 Building thermal dynamics refers to the study of how heat is  transferred, stored, and distributed within a building. It encompasses  the interaction between the  building’s materials, design, and environmental factors such as  sunlight, wind, and temperature. Thermal dynamics in construction  involve understanding heat flows  through conduction (via walls and roofs), convection (through air  movement), and radiation (from sunlight or heated surfaces). Effective  thermal management ensures energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and sustainability, guiding the  choice of insulation, ventilation systems, and materials to regulate  indoor temperatures efficiently. 

Building Fluid Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

Building Thermal Dynamics

 Building fluid dynamics refers to the study of how air and liquids move  within and around a building. This includes analyzing airflow for  ventilation, heating, and  cooling systems, as well as the behavior of water in plumbing, drainage,  and rainwater management. In construction, fluid dynamics helps  optimize energy efficiency,  indoor air quality, and occupant comfort by modeling air circulation,  controlling moisture, and ensuring efficient water flow. Key factors  include wind forces, pressure  differences, and the design of ducts, pipes, and building openings to  balance performance and sustainability.
