Accessibility and long-term living
Make every level of the home easier to use
Plan around the person, the complete route through the home and how household needs may change over time.
The Prime approach
Accessibility is more than moving between floors
The right lift needs to work for the person using it and the home around them. Capacity, controls, door clearances, landings, approach routes and the needs of family members or carers all matter.
Prime considers enclosed residential lifts, compact systems, platform lifts and internal or external arrangements based on the user requirement and property constraints.

How it works
Start with the person and the complete route
- 01
Understand the need
Clarify current mobility, assistance, equipment and likely future requirements.
- 02
Map the journey
Review how the person approaches, enters, uses and exits the lift at each level.
- 03
Assess the property
Confirm available space, structure, landings, travel and weather exposure where relevant.
- 04
Recommend the pathway
Prime identifies an appropriate solution and coordinates the related project requirements.
Common questions
What homeowners and project teams ask first
Are accessibility lifts only for wheelchair users?
No. They can support people with reduced mobility, injury recovery, difficulty using stairs or a desire to remain in the home longer.
Can an accessibility lift be added to an existing home?
Often, yes. The available space, complete access route, structure and intended user needs must be assessed.
Can a lift be installed outside?
Some systems support external installation. Site exposure, drainage, enclosure and manufacturer requirements need to be reviewed.
