The Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist (CAPS) program

CAPS was developed as a collaboration between the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the NAHB Research Center and AARP. It was developed to address the growing need for home modifications that will allow for continued living in a familiar environment throughout the maturing years. According to the AARP, older homeowners overwhelmingly prefer to “age in place”, which means living in your home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of age or ability level. CAPS professionals include designers, architects and health care consultants as well as general contractors that have been certified by the NAHB Research Center.

The Company takes the “total project” approach, partnering with clients, to reduce the uncertainty and risks associated with new construction, renovation or modification projects. This approach is dependent upon the use of detailed project planning, effective tracking, cost control and management. It is built upon open and effective communication of information between the client and our team of CAPS Professionals.

It all starts with the planning process. The project planning and management team, including our CAPS design professionals, works with the client to identify and define their needs, objectives and special requirements. Once the needs have been identified, and the project design has been completed and approved, the latest technology and building techniques are made available to the client. Our approach provides the client with a plan and the tools to make an informed decision on the project by identifying cost relationships between the project’s needs and the cost of construction and by presenting alternatives that achieve the most cost-effective solution.

Our Company is proud of its ability to provide clients with the knowledge necessary to make informed construction, renovation and facilities adaptations decisions. With our assistance, clients gain an understanding of options available for building renovation or adaption projects and can be confident they are getting a quality job at a fair price.

We are committed to completing your projects on-time and on-budget. Learn how the process works.
