Thoughtfully Designed Homes for Accessible Living

At Build for Access Homes, we create homes that prioritise accessibility, functionality, and comfort—without compromising on design. Our homes integrate natural light, cross-ventilation, wide doorways, and intelligently designed kitchens and bathrooms, ensuring a seamless living experience for all occupants.

We offer two core designs, both adaptable to individual needs:

  • Designed for enhanced accessibility, ensuring a home that evolves with its occupants

  •  A fully barrier-free home, ideal for independent or assisted living

Both designs can be customised to include an additional room for in-home assistance or adapted into a two-person dwelling. They can also be modified into compliant therapy and training spaces.

Built on a common substructure, our homes offer consistency and cost-effectiveness while proactively addressing the evolving needs of individuals with disabilities. Our construction options include partial pre-fabrication, full prefabrication, or transportable modular building, depending on what best suits your project.

Accessibility should not be an afterthought—it should be integrated into the foundation of every home.
