About Bulman Advisory
Our Mission
We design safer, smarter, and more inclusive environments through design intelligence. Our work goes beyond compliance — it’s about understanding people, data, and place to create environments where everyone can thrive.
Who We Are
With over two decades of experience in architecture, design management, and inclusive design, Bulman Advisory leads the way in redefining how accessibility and safety intersect with innovation.
We are more than consultants, we are inclusive design strategists helping our clients design for every body and every story.
Whether working on private sector developments, large-scale government infrastructure, or complex, high-profile projects, Bulman Advisory provides strategic solutions that meet the unique challenges of each client, fostering environments that are not only functional but also welcoming, safe, and accessible for all.
Our studio integrates architectural expertise, policy knowledge, and lived experience to deliver measurable impact. Through collaboration with the Universal Design Collective (UDC), we turn access requirements into design intelligence that improves how people experience the built environment.
What We Do
We help clients turn accessibility and safety requirements into strategic design value.
Our approach blends Design Thinking, Safety in Design, and Accessibility Principles to deliver frameworks that are functional, equitable, and resilient.
How We Work
Every project begins with understanding — not assumptions.
We use our UDC Framework to integrate:
- Design Intelligence: architectural and spatial inclusion strategies
- Lived Experience Intelligence: co-design and human feedback
- Data & Systems Intelligence: benchmarks, heat maps, and inclusion metrics
This approach transforms inclusion into measurable design value — guiding clients to make decisions that are evidence-based, human-centred, and enduring.
Our Community Commitment
Bulman Advisory proudly supports like-minded organisations that share our passion for inclusivity, accessibility, and social impact.
Through our partnerships, we donate both financial contributions and our expertise in universal design, accessibility, and safety to community groups and initiatives that create meaningful change for people with disability.
