ACCESS CONSULTANCY

National Portrait Gallery

 

 

Cowdray Park

From our experience in carrying out design work on sheltered housing, wheelchair accommodation and work for disabled students, DCA has developed expertise in carrying out access consultancy.

Work includes access audits of existing buildings and plan appraisals. These are analysed in terms of their compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act, which makes significant demands of employers and service providers who are now obliged to make permanent adaptations of their buildings.

DCA have discovered that if reviewed creatively, then making a building accessible need not be a matter of "bolt-on" components, but can be an integrated approach to make the building easy to use for everybody, regardless of their abilities.
