Over the years, we have found that the question most asked by builders is, "How do we construct the zero-step entrance?"   So we created this PowerPoint presentation to answer that question in detail.

An introductory section on the Benefits of zero-step entrances is followed by sections covering  Myths,  Basic Construction Principles,  seven Methods, and Costs.  The intended audiences are builders,  architects, architecture students and advocates of all types who need to prepare themselves to answer builders' questions with knowledge and confidence.

This tool contains more than 50 photographs of homes with zero-step entrances, in a wide variety of styles, price ranges and locales, as well as drawings, charts and construction details.   Show time is approximately 40 minutes.  There is no cost to download.  Registration is requested prior to downloading.  Please note that in order to view or download, the file requires a PC with PowerPoint 2003 or later.    The level of encrypting needed  to ensure the ongoing integrity of the presentation unfortunately does not permit  an affordable way  to make it available for Macs.     Downloaders are saying they find the presentation very helpful,  so if your computer does not match the above,  you might find it worth your while to find a friend or colleague with a compatible computer.

We  ask that you supply us with a bit of identifying information. This  helps us know in what locations advocacy efforts are taking place,  and what populations and professions are involved.   Your information will be kept confidential, and never shared with any third party.
