ACCESS PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS
Performance-Based Access Solutions for Complex Building Projects
Get practical access performance solutions when standard accessibility requirements do not fully address your project’s design objectives or building constraints.
We work with architects, developers, builders, and project teams to prepare performance-based design briefs and solution reports demonstrating compliance with accessibility requirements across projects in Australia.
Request a Consultation →What is an Access Performance Solution?
An access performance solution under the NCC is an alternative approach to demonstrating that a building achieves the required accessibility outcomes when prescriptive requirements are not appropriate or reasonably achievable.
Access Performance Solutions often involve innovative designs, existing building constraints, heritage considerations, or unique operational requirements needing a tailored compliance pathway supported by technical justification and documented evidence.
An Access Performance Solution involves:
- Innovative access design solutions
- Alternative layouts for constrained existing buildings
- New technologies or equipment to support equitable access
- Practical access strategies for heritage or complex sites
- Alternative sanitary facility, entry or circulation arrangements
- Tailored solutions where standard access compliance cannot reasonably be achieved
