A proportionate assessment, built around your question
Sometimes you need a comprehensive audit. Sometimes you need a clear answer about an entrance, bathroom, fit-out or proposed alteration. We shape the accessibility assessment around your objective, document the limits and provide enough context for your team to make a sound next decision.
What our accessibility assessment service covers
- Site assessment: A targeted or comprehensive review of physical conditions, user routes and relevant access features.
- Design assessment: Independent review of plans and details to identify accessibility risks and improvement opportunities.
- Options assessment: Comparison of proposed approaches, constraints and likely user outcomes to help teams choose a workable direction.
How the service works
- Question: We clarify what you need to know, why it matters and what information is available.
- Evidence: We inspect the site, review documents or combine both approaches.
- Direction: You receive concise findings, recommendations and any matters needing further design input.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an assessment and an audit?
An audit is often a systematic review against a defined framework. An assessment can be broader or more focused, shaped around a particular design question, barrier or decision.
Can you assess a building before we lease it?
Yes. A pre-lease assessment can identify access constraints and potential upgrade implications before commitments are finalised.
What information do you need to quote?
A site address, brief description of the building or project, available drawings, the areas in scope and the outcome you need are usually enough to begin.
Can you assess a proposed alteration?
Yes. We can review the proposal in the context of the surrounding accessible path and flag issues for the project team to resolve.
