SAFERhomes

It was a pleasure working with Pat Simpson of SAFERhomes to install the first ever SAFERhomes nameplate on a SAFER certified dwelling in the Olympic Village on Aug 12, 2010. This was a historic moment for SAFERhomes and I was thrilled to be a part of it. In all, there were over 250 condominiums that were certified on this day. Congradulations to Pat for the realization of a decade long dream!


SAFERhomes is a program that ensures homes are built to service people of all ages and abilities. It allows the home to be Universal in its design. The benefits of the program are limitless and the costs minimal, all while maintaining the look and feel of standard market housing.

What to look for in a inspector

Discussion on another blog I posted to regarding how to find the 'right' inspector. Look for one that takes the time to do the job right!.
