Access and Advisory Services for Built Environment
Our specialist access and advisory team are Barrier Free trained advisers. They can assist you with assessing the built environment from a universal design and compliance point of view. They will provide you with a full audit and report.
In addition, you can utilise our team to make recommendations and offer specialist advice to architects designing fully accessible spaces.
Independent Living partnered with the Be. Institute back in 2011 to develop a checklist and development programme known as Be. Welcome and the Be. Confident workshops to engage with New Zealand businesses and organisations in understanding the accessible journey.
What do we do?
Independent Living staff members contract to independent access advisors. They are skilled in assessing plans, carrying out on-site and bespoke assessments in a range of visitor or customer environments. We work expertly with organisations’ management team and staff to understand and implement improved accessibility to enhance customer experience.
