Importance of Universal Design for Modular Home Construction

Universal Design is a growing in modular home construction. Although consumers sometimes think it is just another way of describing low quality accessible construction or wheelchair accessibility, Universal Design is actually a much broader concept. It is intended to create modular homes that are usable by all people, whether they’re young or old, tall or short, strong or weak, able-bodied or with a disability. By incorporating features such as level or step- less entrances, wider hallways, and larger doors, a Universal Designed modular home becomes easier to navigate when pushing a child in a stroller or moving furniture in or out of a room.

Affordable Modular Home Construction Cost

A modular home that features the principles of Universal Design’s easy access will meet a family’s needs now and into the future. It will also allow modular home owners to age in place without forcing them to make expensive renovations, move, or radically alter their lifestyle when their abilities start to slip.

Building a modular home with Universal Design principles is an affordable way to help your family stay in their existing home when their needs change.

Easy Modification of Modular Home Floor Plan

Modular homes can readily accommodate the principles of Universal Design. Legendary Homes Inc can modify most standard plans to enlarge the doorways, hallways, and bathrooms. Universal access may require us to change the shape and size of some rooms, but this usually will not present problems if the floor plan is large enough, and it is unlikely to cost much.

In addition to changes in the floor plan, universal home design incorporates user-friendly items like lever door handles and faucets. If you want to build a home that is usable by all of your family and friends, consider including some of the following Universal Design products and options in your home.

It will provide these benefits whether you are a first time home buyer or a move-up buyer. In addition, the attractive easy accessibility features and affordability of these homes will give your home a high resale value.
