In the Netherlands, more and more people are choosing to install a home care home in their garden or at home. As an alternative to a nursing home or other care institution, for example.
Mantel care homes, or care homes for short, can be built on traditional way to be built. This often requires a permit or the house must comply with municipal regulations that may differ from one municipality to another. In addition, this construction method is expensive and time-consuming. Once the informal care element disappears, the care home may also no longer be used for living in. As a result, the bathroom and kitchen have to be removed from the house, for example. On the website of the Central government more can be found here.
A alternative method is to create a prefabricated care home to buy or rent. In many cases, the prefabricated care homes are permit-free to be placed. As soon as the informal care element disappears, you can easily remove the prefabricated informal care home (or have it removed).
Ripstaal makes and sells customised prefabricated care homes. We also have a number of prefabricated care homes for rent that have proven their worth in terms of layout in the past.
At Ripstaal, we use technology to build prefabricated care homes steel frame construction. This method is strong, lightweight and the frame cannot rot which is the case with timber frame construction.
The prefabricated steel structure forms the basis of the building, with the possibility of cladding the walls with a variety of materials. In this way, you create a sleek and modern care home by prefabricatedbut also atmospheric care homes with their own unique look. Whichever style you choose: prefabricated construction is fast, effective and also cost-saving.
Are you interested in a customised shelter home? The production of this is a precise process and must be 100% calculated in advance. Therefore, we need to have a Technical Drawing of your building project. A technical drawing is usually made by an architect.
Based on the technical drawing, we can start the engineering in which the building project is analysed in terms of design and construction. Here, we determine what is needed to create a suitable steel framework for your building design.
It is therefore important to have an architect (or technical draftsman) assist you. We cannot make an offer without a technical drawing.
