1. A corner construction system adapted for installation onto a structure, the structure having a corner, a first wall, and a second wall, the first and second walls meeting at and each extending away from the corner, the corner construction system comprising: a corner bracket comprising a corner protrusion having a first side and a second side, a first flange having a flat portion and a protruding portion, and a second flange having a flat portion and a protruding portion, the first and second flanges extending away from the corner protrusion, wherein when the corner bracket is attached to the structure such that the corner protrusion is adjacent to and overlies the corner of the structure, the flat portion of the first flange is located adjacent to the first wall, and the flat portion of the second flange is located adjacent to the second wall, the corner protrusion extends away from the first wall a first distance that is measured orthogonally from the first wall, the corner protrusion extends away from the second wall a second distance that is measured orthogonally from the second wall, the protruding portion of the first flange extends away from the first wall, and the protruding portion of the second flange extends away from the second wall;a first wall panel having an end, an interior surface, and an exterior surface opposing the interior surface, wherein when the first wall panel is attached to the first wall such that the end of the first wall panel is located adjacent to the first side of the corner protrusion and the interior surface of the first wall panel contacts the protruding portion of the first flange, a third distance that is measured orthogonally between the first wall and the exterior surface of the first wall panel is no greater than the first distance; anda second wall panel having an end, an interior surface, and an exterior surface opposing the interior surface, wherein when the second wall panel is attached to the second wall such that the end of the second wall panel is located adjacent to the second side of the corner protrusion and the interior surface of the second wall panel contacts the protruding portion of the second flange, a fourth distance that is measured orthogonally between the second wall and the exterior surface of the second wall panel is no greater than the second distance. 2. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the third distance is less than the first distance and the fourth distance is less than the second distance. 3. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the protruding portion of the first flange is located at an end of the first flange located opposite to the corner protrusion and the protruding portion of the second flange is located at an end of the second flange located opposite to the corner protrusion. 4. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the corner protrusion extends away from the flat portion of the first flange at a first protrusion angle, the first protrusion angle having a value between 90 and 180 degrees. 5. The corner construction system of claim 4, wherein the first protrusion angle has a value of 135 degrees. 6. The corner construction system of claim 1, the end of the first wall panel including a bend that separates a main portion of the first wall panel from a return portion of the first wall panel, the return portion of the first wall panel being routed towards the corner of the structure, wherein the bend has an interior angle having a value between 5 and 90 degrees. 7. The corner construction system of claim 6, the end of the second wall panel including a bend that separates a main portion of the second wall panel from a return portion of the second wall panel, the return portion of the second wall panel being routed towards the corner of the structure, wherein the bend has an interior angle having a value between 5 and 90 degrees. 8. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the protruding portion of the first flange extends away from the flat portion thereof towards the corner protrusion. 9. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the protruding portion of the first flange is hooked or curved. 10. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the corner protrusion comprises a bend at a distal end thereof, wherein when the corner construction system is installed on the structure, the bend remains exposed. 11. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the corner protrusion is disposed between the end of the first wall panel and the end of the second wall panel. 12. The corner construction system of claim 1, wherein the third distance is measured adjacent to the corner protrusion and the fourth distance is measured adjacent to the corner protrusion. 13. A method of installing a corner construction system onto a structure, the structure having a corner, a first wall, and a second wall, the first and second walls meeting at and each extending away from the corner, the method comprising: attaching a corner bracket to the structure such that a corner protrusion of the corner bracket is located adjacent to and overlies the corner of the structure, a flat portion of a first flange of the corner bracket is located adjacent to the first wall, a flat portion of a second flange of the corner bracket is located adjacent to the second wall, the corner protrusion extends away from the first wall a first distance that is measured orthogonally from the first wall, the corner protrusion extends away from the second wall a second distance that is measured orthogonally from the second wall, a protruding portion of the first flange extends away from the first wall, and a protruding portion of the second flange extends away from the second wall;attaching a first wall panel having an end, an interior surface, and an exterior surface opposing the interior surface to the first wall such that the end of the first wall panel is located adjacent to a first side of the corner protrusion, the interior surface of the first wall panel contacts the protruding portion of the first flange, and a third distance that is measured orthogonally between the first wall and the exterior surface of the first wall panel is no greater than the first distance; andattaching a second wall panel having an end, an interior surface, and an exterior surface opposing the interior surface to the second wall such that the end of the second wall panel is located adjacent to a second side of the corner protrusion that opposes the first side thereof, the interior surface of the second wall panel contacts the protruding portion of the second flange, and a fourth distance that is measured orthogonally between the second wall and the exterior surface of the second wall panel is no greater than the second distance. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the step of attaching the corner bracket to the structure further comprises attaching the flat portion of the first flange to the first wall via a fastener and attaching the flat portion of the second flange to the second wall via a fastener. 15. The method of claim 13, further comprising placing the end of the first wall panel in contact with the first surface of the corner protrusion. 16. The method of claim 13, further comprising bending the end of the first wall panel to create a main portion of the first wall panel and a return portion of the first wall panel prior to the step of attaching the first wall panel to the first wall, wherein the step of attaching the first wall panel to the first wall further comprises placing the return portion adjacent to the first surface of the corner protrusion. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the step of attaching the first wall panel to the first wall further comprises placing the end of the first wall panel in contact with the first surface of the corner protrusion. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the step of bending the end of the first wall panel further comprises bending the end such that an interior angle having a value between 5 and 90 degrees is formed between the main portion and the return portion. 19. The method of claim 13, further comprising attaching at least one layer of underlayment to the first wall and second wall of the structure prior to attaching any of the corner bracket, first wall panel, or second wall panel to the structure.
