Bringing families & friends back together again.

Multigenerational homes and in-law suites (also called "secondary suites or "accessory dwellings") are not only making a comeback - they may be one of the most sustainable and affordable living options today! BuildAble can help create beautiful secondary spaces that feel like home - for everyone.

Home Construction

Thoughtful, Inclusive Design 

With BuildAble's extensive roots in accessible design & renovations, we understand the needs and complexities of making homes work for every age and every ability.  

​

We've transformed homes & spaces for:

  • Aging parents moving in with adult children

  • Younger families moving in with their aging parents 

  • ​Families wanting a secondary unit for their young adult/college-aged children

  • Parents bringing home an older child that has sustained a serious physical  injury or impairment

  • Young adults living with disabilities that are wanting more independence in a family home

  • "Golden Girl" style co-living homes
