Access Consulting

We conduct comprehensive access design reviews to evaluate architectural and construction drawings, ensuring that designs meet all relevant accessibility standards and regulations. Our reviews identify potential barriers for people with disabilities and provide actionable recommendations to enhance accessibility. By integrating these considerations early in the design process, we help create inclusive environments that are usable by everyone, regardless of physical ability, ensuring accessibility is seamlessly incorporated from the outset.

We conduct comprehensive access audits to assess existing buildings and facilities or building during construction and commissioning, identifying accessibility issues and non-compliance with legal standards. Through on-site inspections, we evaluate barriers and provide detailed reports with practical solutions for improvement. Our goal is to ensure spaces are safe, navigable, and inclusive for all users, including those with disabilities. 

We develop wayfinding strategies and design solutions that create clear, intuitive, and inclusive navigation systems. Our expertise ensures signage is accessible, easy to understand, and compliant with relevant standards. In addition to designing effective wayfinding solutions, we also provide wayfinding design reviews, offering detailed feedback to enhance clarity, placement, and usability. Whether developing a new system or refining an existing design, we help create environments that support seamless navigation for all users.

We conduct Performance Solution assessments to explore alternative methods and innovative solutions that meet accessibility requirements when traditional compliance paths are not feasible. Our team evaluates the performance outcomes of proposed solutions to ensure they deliver equivalent or superior accessibility. This approach provides flexibility and creative solutions, allowing us to achieve accessible design while maintaining full compliance with regulatory standards.

We engage in comprehensive stakeholder consultation to gather input from all parties affected by accessibility initiatives. This includes people with disabilities, community groups, architects, and planners. By fostering a collaborative process, we ensure that accessibility solutions reflect real-world needs and preferences. Our approach helps to incorporate diverse perspectives, promote a sense of ownership, and create inclusive environments that benefit all users.

We provide expert universal design advice to help create spaces and products that are accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, or circumstance. Our approach goes beyond minimum compliance, focusing on inclusivity from the start. By incorporating principles such as flexibility, simplicity, and equitable use, we assist clients in designing environments that are not only functional but also comfortable and welcoming for all users. Our goal is to ensure that every project promotes usability and accessibility for diverse needs, creating spaces that enhance the experience for everyone.
