Our Access Auditing services comprise both On-Site Audits and Desktop Audits, providing a comprehensive assessment of accessibility and evacuation provisions for staff, visitors and occupants with disability.
On-site Evacuation and Access Audits
On-site audits are undertaken by experienced Accredited Access Consultants and can be conducted on existing buildings, refurbishment projects or developments under construction. These audits assess how people with disability access, navigate and safely evacuate a building or facility.

Desktop audits
Desktop audits are conducted on concept, schematic, town planning, permit and construction documentation. Using industry-leading technology and current accessibility standards, our consultants review proposed designs to identify potential compliance issues and access barriers before construction begins.
Why Undertake an Access Audit?
Access audits help ensure environments are inclusive, functional and accessible for all users. Our assessments examine relevant site and building features to identify barriers that may limit equitable access, participation or safety.
Where issues are identified, we provide practical, cost-effective recommendations tailored to the specific needs of your organisation, building and budget. We consider both compliance obligations and what constitutes a reasonable and achievable adjustment in the context of the project.
Each audit report clearly outlines:
- Identified barriers and areas of concern
- Recommended rectification measures
- Applicable legislative and technical requirements
- Priority ratings for recommended actions
- Guidance to support future planning and budgeting
This structured approach enables building owners, managers and project teams to make informed decisions, prioritise works and plan for both immediate and long-term accessibility improvements.
