We help ensure that your designs and buildings are physically accessible for everyone.
We consult on a variety of building types and stages of design for compliance with accessibility regulations.
Our work is underpinned by statutory regulation, outlined in the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1992, the National Construction Code (NCC) and all other relevant Australian Standards and industry guidelines relating to building access, including any local council requirements. Our Access Consulting services include Access Reports, Performance Solutions, Audits, and Design Reviews.
