The DDA places responsibilities on service providers and employers to ensure reasonable access to services and places of employment for people with disabilities.
Our consultancy service will undertake access assessments on existing and proposed Buildings identifying problems and offering practical, prioritised solutions for incorporation into the design or ongoing development and maintenance plans.
Martin Burgess, (MRICS, NRAC / ACAA Access Consultant, DMS) has over thirty years’ of international experience working as a Building Surveyor in both Accessibility and Building Control. Assent are pleased he is our lead consultant on inclusive deign and can use his extensive experience on advising clients on how they can meet their obligations under the Equality Act 2010 in respect of access for disabled people. This overlaps with the functional requirements of the Building Regulations which similarly seeks a built environment that has the highest level of accessibility that is possible.
Assent Access Consultancy aims to help and guide you through the often difficult and complex world of Inclusive Design, where there are often many ways to meet the broad objectives and principles of the overarching legislation.
We can to do this by working with you at all stages of the development process, from your initial concept design to the realisation of your ideas and beyond for clients with service provision responsibilities.
We will provide you with expert advice, knowledge and experience delivered in a personal, timely and cost effective way. We have the ability to solve problems in a proactive manner, working with you on any problems that you may encountered along the way. We aim to get it right – first time, every time – to minimise delays and costs in pursuing your ideas through the development and construction process. We will offer solutions and work with the client where there is a need to consider integrating management procedures with design solutions to optimise inclusivity with a completed project.
We have access to a network of associated professionals who can ensure a comprehensive service, most notably through our “sister” company Assent Building Control (a national service delivered locally). We can offer integrated development solutions that make it as easy as possible for you to secure the necessary consents you need to get your plans off the drawing board and into reality.
