Why is it cost effective to pay a consultant to work with my building team (builder, home designer, architect, kitchen and bath designer, etc.)?
A trained home modification specialist can bring great value to the building team, whether this team is modifying or building a new home. A trained universal/accessible home design consultant can spot and identify items which may result in decreased functional use of the home environment. If one can identify problems early on in the print stage or during construction, one can alter or change the design accordingly. A specialist who studies and works only in the universal/accessible home design field will bring many new perspectives and ideas to the table when preparing for these types of projects.
