3 LEVELS OF APPROVAL

Livable Design’s Seal of Approval provides verification that home environments meet the Livable Design standards. Builders simply integrate the design guidelines into their own unique floor plans. All designs then go through a formal review process, resulting in a seal of approval at one of three levels.
