In the earlier stages of construction which focus on the broader functionality of the project, accessibility consultants will come in to ensure structural considerations are made for the most minute details, whether that&#8217;s the amount of space a door swing takes up to the height of worktops and cupboards.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"simplyweb-checked\"><span class=\"simplyweb-checked\" style=\"color: #000000;\">Our process would typically involve reviews of the dimensions of the space including entrance and egress routes, bedrooms, lavatories, and washrooms, as well as many areas that the architect might overlook such as the gradient of ramps, opportunities for natural light within the space, the rise level of stairways, the type of doorknobs used, placement and frequency of on-site signage, how windows are opened, step nosings, and much more.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"simplyweb-checked\">Each of the aforementioned elements are just some of the things that might be considered by architects during discussions but not necessarily reflected in the drawings, where (especially at early stages) plans at the schematic and design development phases are less detailed, and consequently need to be inspected by accessibility consultants. This collaboration ensures that the final drawings reflect the client&#8217;s accessibility requirements before being delivered to the construction team for the final phase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8fb20b5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8fb20b5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9139425\" data-id=\"9139425\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-447142b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"447142b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span class=\"simplyweb-checked\" data-contrast=\"auto\">When working with our clients (before stage one begins), our team at Direct Access will typically help site owners understand how they can meet best practice accessibility and implement inclusive design strategies into the project.

It&#8217;s been a while since accessibility has been a choice. In almost every circumstance, non-compliance presents a risk of penalties for compromising with standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"simplyweb-checked\"><span class=\"simplyweb-checked\">However with all of this said, having accessibility consultants as part of a wider design team should not be considered a box-ticking exercise. In reality, our placement within a broader team will ensure that more people can actually make use of your site.
