Accessibility is a whole experience
A compliant doorway does not guarantee an accessible experience. People also need to find the entrance, navigate the space, communicate, use facilities and participate with dignity. We look at physical, sensory and cognitive access together, then give your team recommendations it can realistically deliver.

Frequently asked questions
What areas of accessibility do you assess?
Depending on scope, we can consider physical access, wayfinding, signage, amenities, service counters, seating, lighting and contrast, hearing augmentation and other aspects of the user experience.
Can you help make an existing workplace more accessible?
Yes. We can audit the workplace, identify immediate changes and help plan more substantial upgrades around leases, refurbishments or maintenance cycles.
Do you work with architects and interior designers?
Yes. Collaborative design review is a core part of our work, from early concepts through documentation and site delivery.
Can the recommendations be phased?
Absolutely. Reports distinguish higher-priority barriers from longer-term improvements so actions can be staged around budgets and planned works.
