Who it can Help
Everyone Can Benefit
Seniors
Allowing seniors who value independence but would prefer to stay close to family instead of moving to a retirement residence. This shared accommodation situation doesn’t mean giving up privacy.
Middle-Aged Parents
Being able to help aging parents or young adult children through: co-housing/sharing accommodation through private spaces such as in-law suite, basement apartment etc… Allowing cost-savings, sharing of utilities and subscriptions.
Young Adults
Co-housing with family or friends is a great way to get started in life without bearing all the costs of challenging housing markets by themselves.
Families living better together
Over the years, changing cultures and lifestyles, not to mention pressures of tight economies and stress, have inspired new solutions to what people need from their home structures. With his deep belief in maintaining tight bonds with his own extended family members, and his years of observing what his clients really require in their home builds, Jacob Beckwith has envisioned a new approach to family living. After much time spent refining this vision, Jacob is ready to share this exciting venture.
BeHome is a tangible building solution for ways that families can live better… together. In this way, they can share the ‘load’ of stressful living… ever-increasing expenses, taxes, utilities, food, and transport. Essentially, Jacob’s new building solutions will allow families to renovate or custom build structures that result in private spaces in homes while also providing a core of space and services that can be ‘shared’ by family members. This significantly lowers the individual burdens of financial, emotional and physical stress, and can ultimately lead to generational wealth. To explore this exciting new approach to home building, contact Beckwith Contracting today.

Our Family Living Better Together
Putting it into Practice
“Jacob and I recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding day. We had all those bittersweet emotions realizing that our baby is all grown up, but we’re so thrilled to welcome a new son into the fold. With the challenging financial times we are facing in Canada, we wanted to find a solution to help support the happy couple.
After some discussion and brainstorming, we decided to make some small changes to our home and create a separate living space for them. Now we share our home, some living expenses and even things like Internet and TV subscriptions, while still maintaining our own private lives. This experience made us wonder why are we all paying taxes, utilities, and subscriptions individually instead of sharing them?
At BeHome, we believe there’s a unique solution for every family to Live Better Together. Can your home work for you to provide an income, help family, or a friend? Would you be willing to forgo some privacy to live more affordably, have more freedom to do what you want, be confident about your financial future. BeHome has a solution for families just like ours who also want to live a more sustainable and connected life. We want to help your family, Live Better Together.”
