Reside Homes
Home Design Requirements & Types
To be included as a part of the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) scheme, the NDIS has several design requirements that must be met in the construction of each home. The Building Code of Australia (BCA) and NDIS Edition 1.1 classifications are used to establish these requirements and break this down into 4 important categories. These 4 categories listed below are vital to the wellbeing of NDIS/SDA participants and form an integral component of Reside designs. In most cases our homes are built to cover all categories under the one roof – one home to fit all.
Improved liveability
Designed to improve ‘liveability’ by incorporating a reasonable level of physical access and enhanced provision for people with sensory, intellectual, or cognitive impairment.
Fully accessible
Designed to incorporate a high level of physical access provision for people with significant physical impairment.
Robust
Designed to incorporate a high level of physical access provision and to be very resilient, reducing the likelihood of reactive maintenance and reducing the risk to the participant and the community.
High Physical Support
Designed to incorporate a high level of physical access provision for people with significant physical impairment and requiring very high levels of support.
