Off-Site Framing Ideal for SDA

A survey of KPA Architects’ twenty Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) projects currently underway, found off-site framing is the new normal in response to rising construction costs and our customers’ special needs.

KPA Director Todd Paterson says: “Off-site framing is associated with quicker assembly time, reduced waste, and improved site coordination. We can also focus more on delivering tailored dwellings for people living with disabilities.”
