Since 2008, GCS Contracting has been a dedicated partner in completing Specially Adapted Housing (SAH) projects for disabled veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Their approach involves a comprehensive and veteran-centered process designed to ensure accessible, high-quality, and personalized housing solutions that meet the unique needs of each veteran.

**Initial Consultation and Needs Assessment:**  

GCS Contracting begins with a detailed consultation to understand the specific mobility, accessibility, and functional requirements of the disabled veteran. This includes reviewing medical documentation and collaborating with VA case managers, occupational therapists, and the veterans themselves to identify necessary modifications and customizations.

**Design and Planning:**  

The company develops tailored design plans that incorporate VA standards and the veteran’s individual needs. This phase involves selecting appropriate adaptive features such as wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, accessible bathrooms, and custom kitchens. GCS ensures compliance with all local building codes and VA guidelines for SAH projects.

**Permitting and Approvals:**  

GCS handles all permitting processes, coordinating with local authorities to secure necessary building permits and approvals. They ensure that all designs conform to federal, state, and VA requirements, facilitating a smooth approval process.

**Construction Phase:**  

The construction team executes the project with precision, emphasizing quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. They utilize specialized adaptive construction techniques and high-quality materials to create durable, accessible living spaces. Throughout construction, GCS maintains regular communication with the VA representatives and the veteran to keep them informed of progress.

**Quality Assurance and Compliance:**  

GCS Contracting conducts rigorous inspections at various stages of construction to guarantee adherence to design specifications, safety standards, and VA regulations. They perform final walkthroughs with veterans and VA personnel to ensure complete satisfaction and proper functionality of all features.

**Final Inspection and Handover:**  

Upon project completion, GCS coordinates a comprehensive final inspection with the VA and the veteran. They provide training on how to operate and maintain adaptive features. The company ensures that all necessary documentation, warranties, and compliance certifications are properly handed over.

**Post-Construction Support:**  

GCS remains committed to ongoing support, offering maintenance services and addressing any issues that may arise after occupancy. Their enduring commitment to excellence helps foster long-term satisfaction and improved quality of life for the veterans they serve.

Since 2008, GCS Contracting’s experience, expertise, and veteran-focused approach have established them as a trusted provider of Specially Adapted Housing projects, significantly enhancing the independence and well-being of disabled veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
