05 — Accessibility Consulting
Accessibility compliance is decided by dimensions: circulation spaces, gradients, luminance contrast, fixture positions. Once poured or framed, they are expensive to be wrong about. QFS assesses accessibility at the drawing stage against the NCC access provisions and the AS 1428 suite, and audits existing buildings for owners who need to know where they stand.
Where a constraint makes a prescriptive requirement unworkable — a heritage entry, a level change that can't take a compliant ramp — we prepare the access Performance Solution that documents an equitable alternative.
