USER FRIENDLY HOMES

…A NEW VISION IN HOUSING…

User friendly homes is currently offering certification and inspection programs which will allow the real estate and building market to better accommodate our evolving marketplace.
The ideas are simple, cost effective and easy to understand and are the result of twelve years of research and development in the home safety industry. User Friendly Homes present innovative design concepts and a philosophy, which not only reflects but also proactively addresses shifting trends and an aging population.
Our main theme is "safety in the home for everybody". In designing a safer environment, one effectively creates housing, which is more suitable for seniors and small children. As these two groups have the most accidents in the home, if we make it safer for them we also make it safer for ourselves.

BENEFITS OF A USER FRIENDLY HOME

A home where the whole family can enjoy a safe environment.

Ideas which remove the functional obsolescence from traditional design.

The design ideas remain invisible, leaving you with a home, which appears quite ordinary - but is extraordinary.

Implementing ideas in this guide will prolong yours and loved ones ability to function in the home.

User Friendly Homes Ltd. provides a set of building criteria which will allow you the dual positioning power of special needs demographic segmentation, while shifting your end product into main stream consumer demand.

Building for the future buyer gives the homeowner the opportunity to increase resale value, if and when, they decide to move.
