Access Audits

TFT has access experts who provide a dedicated service to clients, advising them on any adaptations that need to be made to their existing buildings to increase accessibility and providing recommendations on measures to be put in place on designs for new-build projects.

We have a particular expertise in advising on the adaptation on heritage buildings, where layouts can be especially challenging.

Our logical approach to access audits covers every aspect of a buildings use, starting with arrival at the premises and following all potential paths through a building, including reception, transfers between floors, corridor space, room access, toilets, restaurants and much more.

Following our audit we can provide clients with:

• advice on improvements needed and a proposed budget for works
• assistance in making funding applications
• detailed explanation of the current legislation and interpretations on how these work with their specific property
• suggested changes to architect designs
• statements to support with planning and procurement
• production of access strategies, plans and policies
