Here is a recent project Asset Building and Maintenance Group. has completed.
WHEELCHAIR ACCESSABLE PROJECT.
We worked in consultation with an OT (occupational therapist) and
converted an existing garage doorway into a code compliant, accessible wheelchair entry for a retired couple. Inside the roller door we built a new wall and sliding door, and a very inviting tiled porch, set back far enough inside to provide a storage area and charging station for an electric wheelchair, including a new power point. When the roller door is closed the wheelchair is secure and out of sight, but not taking up space inside the house.
To ensure easy access the roller door was fitted with a motor, with a remote control, no more pushing and shoving the roller door to get in, and at night or during bad weather, once inside the roller door can easily be closed with the remote, securing the wheelchair, and from outside it looks like nothing has changed, just like the old garage.
Inside the house we also installed a new wide doorway between living areas to allow easy walker, and if needed wheelchair access between rooms, and as the floor levels were different, we also made custom access ramps at a code compliant grade of 1 in 8, with a nonslip finish colour matched to the clients internal decor.
We also undertook some other works including replacement of some rotted timber windows, that were leaking and allowing some moisture to enter and causing some mold growth, now all sealed, dry, and no more mold.
I'm proud of our workers Stuart and Brad, and the care and consideration they showed to the client while undertaking this project.
I'm certain this project will make life safer, easier, and less chance of falls in the home for Phil and Kath, I wish you both well.
Thank you for allowing Asset Building and Maintenance Group. to assist you with your project.
