Can RTM Homes Be Designed to Be Barrier-Free or Accessible?
The short answer: absolutely YES!
At Destiny Homes, a question we get asked is whether a Ready-to-Move (RTM) home can be designed to be barrier-free or fully accessible. The answer is simple: customization is at the heart of what we do, which means your RTM home can be tailored to meet your unique mobility, accessibility, or aging-in-place needs.
What Does Barrier-Free or Accessible Mean?
A barrier-free or accessible home is one that removes physical obstacles, allowing anyone, whether they use mobility aids, wheelchairs, or simply want to future-proof their home, to move through the space with ease. Features often include:
- Step-free entrances and wide doorways
- Open floor plans with easy maneuverability
- Roll-in showers and accessible bathrooms
- Lowered countertops and adaptable kitchen layouts
- Reinforced walls for grab bars and safety features
How RTM Homes Can Be Built Barrier-Free
One of the biggest benefits of an RTM home is flexibility in design. Because our homes are built off-site and customized before delivery, we can integrate accessibility features right into the floor plan. Whether you need wider hallways or a completely step-free design, our team can make it happen.
At Destiny Homes, we’ve already built barrier-free RTM homes for families across Alberta and Saskatchewan. Each project is unique, but the goal is always the same: creating a safe, functional, and beautiful home that matches your lifestyle.
Why Choose a Custom RTM for Accessibility?
- Tailored to You: Every floor plan can be adjusted to meet your specific needs.
- Efficient Construction: Homes are built in a controlled environment, reducing delays and ensuring quality.
- Future-Proofing: Even if you don’t need all accessibility features today, building them in now helps you stay in your home longer.
- Peace of Mind: You won’t need to retrofit later. Your home will be designed for accessibility from the start.
