Expertise
With over 8 years of experience and 15 specialists nationwide, we bring unparalleled expertise to every project, ensuring compliance with state-specific regulations.
We start by understanding your needs and gathering all relevant information, including site plans and confirming access requirements. This ensures we focus on the areas that matter most to your organisation.
Using our proprietary software and advanced tools, our consultants conduct a thorough site inspection. We evaluate entrances, pathways, signage, bathrooms, emergency exits and more to identify barriers and compliance gaps. This usually takes between one and three days, depending on the scale and complexity of the site.
Our detailed reports include geolocated photos, prioritised risk levels and actionable recommendations tailored to your building’s unique requirements. The report is often available instantly or within a few days for more complex projects. It’s clear, easy to navigate, searchable, sortable and designed for immediate use by stakeholders.
We help you interpret the findings through post-audit meetings so you get maximum value from our expertise. Our team works with you to prioritise actions and develop strategies for long-term compliance and inclusivity.
Beyond addressing current issues, we provide insights into how your building can adapt to evolving accessibility standards and demographic changes, like an ageing population or an increasingly diverse workforce. If there are future planned works, we can make recommendations based on design documentation and offer performance solutions to address future accessibility issues.
