      Why Buy or Build a FlexHouse?

FlexHousing™ has a significant number of selling points. No matter where you are in your life cycle, a properly designed FlexHouse will respond to your current needs. This section details the primary benefits of FlexHousing to prospective buyers.

Adaptability With a FlexHouse, homebuyers get many homes in one. Because of features like rooms that can be reconfigured or that are pre-designed for external additions, FlexHouse owners have the ability to create a home that's right for today and tomorrow -- without the troubles that conventional renovation can bring. As family needs change over time, features like grab bars in a bathroom or stair-lifts for easier vertical access, can be added inexpensively to ensure comfort and safety.

Accessibility Accessibility is not only an issue for people with special needs. Everyone benefits from accessible homes. For example, an entry without steps is more convenient for both a person with a walker and a mother with a baby carriage. Level entries, wider doorways and lever handles simplify everyday household activities. Accessible design makes life easier and safer.

Safety Homebuyers will appreciate the fact that safety is a basic consideration of every element in a FlexHouse, from non-slip flooring and strategic lighting to the layout of stairs and landings.

Security In its attention to details such as the placement of exterior lighting, pre-wiring for alarm systems or the installation of reliable locks, FlexHousing™ makes homeowners and their visitors feel secure.

Affordability The adaptability and efficiency of a well-constructed FlexHouse offers the advantage of long-term cost-effectiveness. A FlexHouse provides savings in utility, maintenance and renovation costs. Homeowners will enjoy the quality of their FlexHouse for as long as they live in it, and if they ever decide to move, they will reap the benefits of a high resale value.

Health Healthy Housing™ features not only make a home more comfortable but the improved efficiency of today's heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems have economic benefits as well. FlexHouse owners save on utility costs while using fewer natural resources and enjoying greater control over their home environment.
