ASN provides disability access consulting for building surveyors and certification teams.
These clients need independent, well-scoped advice that clearly separates the access consultant role from the statutory decision-maker. Accessibility decisions can affect approvals, budgets, programs, operations and the experience of people using the facility.

Relevant access services
ASN can assist with desktop audits, building-permit access reports, peer reviews, Performance Solution input and focused technical advice. The scope is matched to the project stage, available evidence and decisions the client needs to make.
- Desktop access audits of drawings and specifications
- Onsite access audits and photographic reporting
- Design advice relating to the NCC, Premises Standards and AS 1428 suite
- Focused technical reviews and project-team responses
- Tailored scopes for a building, site, portfolio or defined issue
Risks we help identify
Typical risks include incomplete documentation, unresolved departures, late design changes and reports that do not clearly state criteria or limitations. Early identification helps the responsible team make informed choices before an issue becomes embedded in approvals, procurement or completed work.
When to engage an access consultant
Useful engagement points include concept or pre-application advice, formal documentation review, RFI resolution, revised-design review and construction close-out. ASN can provide a one-off review or remain involved across agreed project stages so accessibility decisions are checked as the design and evidence develop.
What you will receive
Deliverables are agreed before work begins and may include a report identifying documents reviewed, applicable criteria, material findings, recommendations, assumptions and outstanding information. Reports state the scope, material reviewed, limitations and recommended next steps.
How ASN works with your team
- Understand the decision: clarify what the client, designer, surveyor or asset team needs from the review.
- Define the evidence: confirm drawings, site access, standards, operator documents and other inputs.
- Assess and report: identify issues in a format suited to the people who must act.
- Support close-out: answer agreed questions and review revised information where included.
