BUILDABLE
CHRONIC ILLNESS & PROGRESSIVE CONDITIONS
Accessibility That Adapts to You
Not all disabilities are visible. Not all limitations are permanent. And not every day looks the same.
When our bodies are unpredictable - our homes should be anything but.
Home accessibility can also mean reducing the energy required to complete daily activities, minimizing pain or fatigue, improving safety, or creating spaces that remain functional during periods of reduced capacity.
Our approach recognizes that accessibility is deeply personal.
We design around how you live today, while considering what you may need tomorrow.
We had a wonderful experience with BuildAble as they remodeled our bathrooms and replaced the shower stalls. They were never behind on our project and did outstanding work for us. We loved their staff, whom we got to know over the 7-week project. We would highly recommend BuildAble. They're the best!

What Makes BuildABLE Different?
Our nurse-led team brings a unique understanding to the renovation process:
Lived Experience Matters.
Many of our team members live with chronic illness, including our Co-Founder & Clinical Nurse Specialist. It's key reason why we're deeply invested in the work we get to do.
Continuing Education.
BuildABLE receives regular in-services on chronic illnesses, disabilities, ableism & more. We also partner with organizations such as Parkinson Canada, MS Society, BIAOV, and others.
Strong Collaboration.
We work with occupational therapists, PTs, and members of your care team to ensure our renovations reflect your needs, priorities, and goals - while maintaining confidentiality.
Individual Renovation Care Plans.
We understand that two people with the same diagnosis can experience their illness completely differently. We will centre YOUR needs - for today, and the future.
