Make your house work for you
We strive to integrate universal design into every renovation because creating inclusive homes is the right thing to do, and we excel at accessibility enhancements.
In 1944, Edmund Desjardins became wheelchair-bound due to a training mishap at Sandhurst Military College in England. He relocated to British Columbia and devoted his life to enhancing accessibility for everyone. His efforts have improved the lives of many. The Building Accessibility Handbook is a testament to his legacy.
Additionally, you might be eligible for a federal or provincial grant and/or income tax credit.
Check out some of our past accessibility enhancement projects:
Elevator access
Make everyone's life easier with an elevator.
Windows for chairs
Level entry and lots of glass add a near euphoric feeling meeting needs for connection and freedom.
Going up
Install an additional door that opens a world of ease.
Hydraulic tub and level entry shower
Caregivers appreciate giving baths that are easier on their back using a hydraulic tub. Everyone loves a level entry shower. It just exudes safety and freedom.
Hear from our accessibility improvement clients
"The new bathroom layout and level entry shower are perfect. The barrier free design permits Gerry to shower himself. Without it, I could not have had him home as the old access was impossible for his wheelchair. With appreciation, gratitude, and warmest regards."
"Thanks again for a wonderful job (remodeling bathroom to make it accessibility compliant, including level entry shower). Every time we go in there we just enjoy that room so much. I really enjoyed working with your crew, especially Geoff."
"From my perspective, The Constructo Group is the dream team when renovations of any sort are planned. There are reasons I am a Constructo Group repeat client—several of them, in fact! The first is that Stephen Lentz is a man of integrity, as are all the members of his crew, so there‘s no fear of shoddy workmanship, unexplained extra costs, or being left in the lurch with a job half done. Both Stephen and Geoff are resourceful men of imagination, capable of finding solutions for the problems that crop up in construction; both keep up-to-date with current construction laws and with the latest home décor trends. Planning is a strong point: required permits are obtained, inspections arranged; materials are ordered in a timely fashion so projects aren‘t delayed. The crew arrives punctually, members communicate with civility, work well together. The work site is cleaned on a daily basis. Billing is detailed. Renovations Stephen undertook in 2020, including the installation of a barrier-less shower in our ensuite bathroom, enabled my husband to remain in our home; Stephen‘s experience installing aids for the disabled was a blessing for us both. Constructo Group remains my go-to renovation team, and I recommend them with confidence."
