What
if Someone In My Household Has a Disability?
If someone in your household uses a wheelchair, has a
sight or hearing impairment, or any other disability requiring
special features in your home, you usually can find a
builder to accommodate your needs. If you contact a builder
when a home is in the preconstruction or early construction
stage, the builder may be able to install the following
items:
 |
Wheelchair
ramps. |
|
Custom
handrails and bars. |
|
Specially
designed toilets and bathroom fixtures. |
|
Special
locks and viewing devices for exterior doors. |
|
Special
shelving and kitchen cabinetry. |
|
Special
wiring. |
|
Wider
doorways. |
Depending
upon the item and when you make the request, a builder
may be able to install some special features free or
at cost. Other customized items may be treated as change
orders for which you would be charged the normal level
of profit.
