Universal Design

Building the home you plan to live in for the rest of your life is one of the biggest decisions anyone will ever make. PRK Williams Building Group recognizes the importance of building a forever home that is suitable for everyone, and does so by incorporating PRK Williams Building Group Universal Design features.

Because of PRK Williams Building Group Universal Design, people who are very different can all enjoy the same space, even when needs change. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, short or tall, healthy or ill. You might have a disability. Or you may be a prize-winning athlete.

PRK Williams Building Group Universal Design makes it easier for people of all ages and abilities to move around a residential space safely and comfortably. 

PRK Williams Building Group Universal Design building features include, but are not limited to:

If you have a family member who uses a wheelchair or you want to have a house in which you can age, the width of your hallways and doorways is an important feature to keep in mind.

Large bathrooms provide maximized space for movement. There is ample turn around space and navigation is easier in front of vanities and shower enclosures.

Enjoy no steps from the curb to your front door. Zero entry homes are ideal for people with disabilities or elderly homeowners who want to lower their risk of falling.

Homes built on a slab means no steps are required to enter or access any part of the home. There are no basement steps to navigate inside the home. Safety from inclement weather and other disasters is maintained with the inclusion of a safe room built with a reinforced concrete block and a steel plate ceiling. The safe room can also serve as a sanitation room!

Levers often add a more modern touch to your home and can be better for those with arthritis or difficulty with grip strength.

Touchless light switches help control the lights in a home without the need to physically flip a switch. 

Solid surface flooring is stable and firm to compensate for any lack of balance or use of walking aids.

Grab bars offer a secure and steady place for people to latch on to, significantly reducing the risk of falling,

The ability to have bright lighting throughout the home makes it easier to accomplish tasks and provides extra illumination. Many light outlets, combined with natural lighting, increases comfort in the home.

The use of sound absorbing materials increases privacy and prevents voices from carrying too far away.
