VISIT RAD RENOVATIONS

We provide accessibility renovations for residential and commercial spaces.

Whether you’re looking for a site or home assessment, Accessibility Recommendation Report, quotes from our pool of qualified accessibility contractors, project coordination, or have your questions answered, our goal is reducing your stress by simplifying and communicating the process in a way that can easily be understood.

Funding Application Assistance

RAD Renovations can help organize and review your funding grant / loan application(s) to potential funding programs such as RAMP (Government of Alberta), SHARP (Government of Alberta), Easter Seals Alberta and other disability specific funding organizations.

We will assist you to understand and meet eligibility requirements where possible, review your forms for accuracy, in addition to collating all documents required to apply for funding.

Space Assessment and Accessibility Recommendations Report

The first step in transforming a space (be it a residential home, business or community space) into a safer and more accessible one is to find out exactly what your space requires to meet the accessibility needs. Our Rick Hansen accessibility certified professional will conduct a thorough assessment of your physical space and provide an Accessibility Recommendations Report that you can use for your accessible renovation. This report includes a description of the assessed areas, accessible renovation recommendations with dimensions from guidelines and photos of examples (referenced from the Standards Council of Canada CSA National Standard of Canada B651-18). This first step will give you the introduction you need to create a safer and more accessible space for you, your staff or your community.

CMHC Accessibility Attestation

If you are a property developer applying to the CMHC (Canadian Mortgage Housing Corporation) and looking to meet their Accessibility Criteria Attestation form requirements in order to be approved for funding, the RAD Renovations Program can complete that form for you. Our Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certified Professional is qualified to assess your building blueprints, make accessibility recommendations and sign off on the CMHC Attestation Form so you can complete your funding application to the CMHC.

Design Drawings

With your input, RAD Renovations can create a basic accessibility design drawing that can be utilized for your accessibility project when working with contractors. Having an accessibility design drawing created by a Rick Hansen Accessibility Certified Professional ensures that detailed plans have accurate dimensions and are confirmed against accessibility guidelines and your needs. This also ensures that the scope of work for your project provides equal information to multiple contractors so that you can easily compare their quotes – apples to apples. This way, changes and adjustments can be made before construction starts, saving you costly delays and change orders.

Renovation Coordination

We understand how intimidating, stressful and overwhelming it can be to coordinate a renovation that entails accessibility codes and construction, especially when the safety of your loved ones or patrons is at stake. Our goal is to reduce your stress by simplifying and communicating the process in a way that can be easily understood. RAD Renovations will assist you in coordinating part or all of the process – from quotes procurement, contractor selection and oversight of work done.

Blueprint Reviews​

Are you a property developer or builder looking to ensure your accessible units and features are to code? RAD Renovations can provide a preconstruction review for residential or commercial sites with recommendations for enhanced accessibility. Our Rick Hansen Accessibility Certified Professional will provide a detailed assessment of your proposed project using your proposed plans, elevations, sections and specifications. Whether you require a detailed assessment to comply with the CMHC National Housing Strategy and CMHC Mortgage Loan Insurance Accessibility Attestation or a Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Rating, RAD Renovations has you covered.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This place we know as Calgary is known by many other names. In the Blackfoot language, it is called Moh-kins-tis, the Iethka Nakoda First Nations refer to this place as Wicispa Oyade, the people of the Tsuut’ina Nation calls it Guts-ists, and the Metis call this area Otos-kwunee.

With respect and humility, we acknowledge that we are gathered on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, made up of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskapipiikani, and Kainai First Nations; the Iethka Nakoda Wicastabi First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. The Calgary area is also homeland to the historic Northwest Metis and to the Otipemisiwak Metis Government, Metis Nation Battle River Territory (Nose Hill Metis District 5 and Elbow Metis District 6).

We are thankful for the opportunity that this special place provides for us to engage in reconciliation and to make life better every day for all who gather, visit, or call this place home.
