Accessible buildings, streets and transport

Create inclusive environments for blind and partially sighted people
We'll help you make sure blind and partially sighted people can get around easily in streets and buildings, and when using transport.


Access audits for buildings

Need to check that your building is accessible? We will look at environments and buildings and recommend access improvements. Find out more about our Access audits service.

Design appraisals for buildings

Looking to design the perfect building? We'll assess designs for new environments, refurbishments and redevelopments to identify potential barriers and offer solutions. Get started with our design appraisal service.

Access statements for buildings

The law requires you to supply these when you make a planning application. We'll help you put your access statements together.

Visual contrast assessments

Visual contrasts are important for helping blind and partially sighted people get around in buildings, streets and when using transport. We'll advise you on visual contrast assessments.

Policy and research

From tactile paving to access to air travel, we work on a variety of large research projects. See what we can do.
