Just released our quarterly update of the Lifetime Home Survey^©. Review and download a PDF at LifetimeHomeSurvey.com and see examples in our Universal Design gallery.

(For first-timers, the “LTHS mini-” is a 2-page general overview while the full version covers in grand detail every area of a property, even the yard.)

The full version remains 33 pages and covers every area inside and outside your home. Any text you see in a different color is a hyperlink either to additional information or an example of what we use on our projects. Mouse over and click the text and you’ll be taken to that website.

(Because the PDF is loaded with links, you may get a virus warning depending on your security settings or vendor. Email me if this worries you and I’ll directly email you the PDF.)

Most of the changes in this revision deal with indoor air quality, home automation, use of natural light and treatments for yard/garden. Weekly I learn something new keeping up with building science and UD, which together are gaining increasing consumer awareness, acceptance and demand.

Please share with others, especially anyone building or remodeling their “last” or “dream” home.

From the Suggestion Box, here are direct links to the PDFs. Click respectively to view and download:
