On Site
With licensed Occupational Therapist Specialists on staff, we can understand your needs physically and medically as well as identify solutions. Unlike many Occupational Therapy consultants, our practical experience enables us to avoid many of the practical issues that can arise, and design a solution that fits your needs both functionally and aesthetically. Also unlike many other standard contractors, we take the design process to its next logical step and will both design a beautiful solution and implement it as well.
Whether its a simple installation of new hardware, a full renovation of an existing space, or the design and construction of a new home, our goal is to create solutions that meet your needs now, and into the future with minimal updates. Good design should meet your needs while allowing for adaptation with minimal changes.
Design Build
What is Design Build? The best answer we've found is this:
Architects started designing their own projects and putting them on the market for builders to bid on them. And so the traditional method of building, Design-Bid-Build, was born. This was intended to improve the aesthetic appeal of construction, and did so until the Industrial Revolution began in the mid-1700s. At this time, there was an ever-growing demand for large quantities of warehouses and industrial complexes. As such, collaboration ceased and projects lost their quality. Aesthetic appeal became of little or no consequence.
In the last decade, we have seen a changeover from Design-Bid-Build to Design-Build. The reason for the changeover is simply the involvement required in modern-day projects. Take, for example, the Pentagon, considered the world’s most complex building. This was built using the Design-Build method. Growing interest in energy-efficient homes has greatly contributed to the need of close collaboration between designer and builder.
Our extensive experience as contractors enables us to implement accessibility solutions both faster and more cost effectively. We've already experienced so many of the minor (and major!) issues that arise at a work site, and solved them efficiently. Moreso, our solutions always come from the perspective of Universal Design - building with accessibility as the top priority. And for those issues with which we haven't yet had experience? We involve our clients at every step of the process to ensure that the solution meets physical, medical, and aesthetic requirements.
