PROJECT PLANNING At Habitat Systems, our friendly and knowledgeable staff are with you from start to finish on your project. We would be happy to visit your site, create a design based on your wish list, and provide you with a proposal, site drawings, and 3D full colour drawings of how your project will look. With all of our planning services provided complimentary, we will continue to work with you through revisions to achieve your project goals. With a dedicated rep in your area and an in-house designer at Habitat, you can expect robust communication and responsive design processing even in peak periods.

LOGISTICS & INSTALLATION SERVICES At Habitat we operate an in-house logistics and construction department and offer an extensive base of installation resources. Our logistics team helps provide a seamless end to end experience with proactive, ongoing communication and robust delivery tools. Our warehousing capabilities allow projects to be stored on-site until you are ready for installation. Or, at the other end of the spectrum, our various freight resources and lean manufacturing lead times allow us to meet short project timelines better than anyone else in the industry. Furthermore — with multiple in-house installation crews and an experienced network of seasoned Certified CPSI installers across the province — Habitat has significant capacity to take care of your project no matter where you are.

FUNDRAISING SUPPORT Habitat Systems offers a variety of ways to help you raise funds to augment your PEP award if your goal project exceeds the Ministry funding. We are here to assist you to make sure that your playground dreams become reality. We also have a 100% Profit Scratch Card Program that can help you raise funds for your playground. Examples of schools who have used our program include Ecole Mt. Prevost, Lakewood Elementary, and many more.

POST-PROJECT SUPPORT Long after your project is completed and installed, you can continue to count on us for maintenance, support, and upgrades.

We have full time staff dedicated to product support. Whether you are in need of parts, a surfacing top-up, or have a new project in mind, we would be pleased to serve you. At Habitat we want to build relationships as much as playgrounds.

WE-GO-SWING

INCLUSIVE PL AY People with disabilities are the nation’s largest minority group and the only group which anyone can join at any time. Inclusive Play design not only includes accessibility standards for children with physical disabilities - but also includes design considerations for children with learning disabilities, sensory processing disorders, Autism, Down Syndrome, and children without disabilities. Inclusive is not just about meeting ‘special needs’, it’s about meeting all children’s needs in the same place and in a variety of ways.

Your seasoned Habitat team is here anytime to help create a purposeful inclusive playspace for any location.
