ACCESS DUE DILIGENCE ASSESSMENTS
Understand Accessibility Risks Before Making Property & Development Decisions
Identify accessibility risks, potential upgrade requirements, and access compliance considerations before acquisition, leasing, redevelopment, or project commencement.
We help developers, property owners, architects, asset managers, and project teams understand accessibility obligations early, so they can make informed decisions and avoid costly surprises later.
WHAT IS AN ACCESS DUE DILIGENCE ASSESSMENT?
What is an Access Due Diligence Assessment?
An access due diligence assessment is an early review of accessibility considerations associated with an existing building, proposed development, or property transaction.
It helps identify potential accessibility risks, barriers, upgrade requirements, and compliance considerations before significant property, investment, leasing, or development decisions are made.
An access due diligence report is different from a detailed design review. It focuses on identifying existing accessibility issues, potential obligations, and future risks that may influence project feasibility, asset management, redevelopment opportunities, or approval pathways.
An access due diligence review may identify:
- Accessibility barriers within existing buildings
- Access compliance risks and obligations
- DDA compliance considerations for existing buildings
- Building access and circulation issues
- Potential accessibility upgrade requirements
- Housing accessibility requirements and obligations
- Development constraints affecting accessibility outcomes
