ASN provides independent audits that identify barriers, compliance risks and practical improvement priorities.
Accessibility decisions can affect approval, construction cost and how people with disability use a place. Early specialist input helps the project team identify issues while practical options remain available.

What we review
The scope can include arrival, parking, paths, entrances, doors, circulation, vertical access, facilities, signage, counters and customer areas. ASN confirms the applicable criteria, documents and limitations before work begins.
- Review the available drawings, information or site conditions
- Identify accessibility issues within the agreed scope
- Explain why each material finding matters
- Recommend practical next actions for the responsible team
- Review revised information where included in the engagement
What you will receive
Depending on the brief, the deliverable may include a photographic report with locations, observations, relevant criteria, recommendations and priorities. Findings are written so architects, building surveyors, owners, contractors and facility teams can understand the issue and act on it.
When to engage ASN
This service can assist during property acquisition, refurbishment planning, complaint response or an accessibility action program. Engaging early usually reduces redesign and difficult rectification, but ASN can also help investigate a defined issue later in a project or within an existing property.
Risks this service helps address
Typical risks include treating an audit as a guarantee, overlooking operational barriers or failing to prioritise realistic improvements. A properly defined assessment creates a clearer record for decisions, responsibilities and follow-up work.
Our process
- Confirm the brief: project, purpose, criteria, documents, deliverable and deadline.
- Complete the review: assess the supplied evidence or inspect the agreed areas.
- Report clearly: document findings, significance, assumptions and recommendations.
- Support resolution: answer agreed questions or review responses and revised material.
