Creative Solutions to Increase Access

Disability Access Consulting for Property Developers

ASN provides disability access consulting for property developers, development managers and project directors.

These clients need commercially practical access advice that identifies design and approval risks before they affect program, cost or saleable outcomes. Accessibility decisions can affect approvals, budgets, programs, operations and the experience of people using the facility.

Relevant access services

ASN can assist with due diligence, concept review, desktop audits, permit reports, Performance Solutions and construction-stage 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 late spatial changes, approval RFIs, inconsistent consultant drawings, compromised tenancy interfaces and expensive rectification. 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 site acquisition, feasibility, concept design, planning, building approval, tender, construction and handover. 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 concise decision-ready reporting that identifies the issue, responsible discipline, recommended response and matters needing authority input. Reports state the scope, material reviewed, limitations and recommended next steps.

How ASN works with your team

  1. Understand the decision: clarify what the client, designer, surveyor or asset team needs from the review.
  2. Define the evidence: confirm drawings, site access, standards, operator documents and other inputs.
  3. Assess and report: identify issues in a format suited to the people who must act.
  4. Support close-out: answer agreed questions and review revised information where included.
