Access Consultant in Sydney and NSW
AS 1428.1 access reports and accessibility compliance advice for new and existing buildings across Sydney and NSW.
What is an access consultant?
An access consultant ensures a building meets accessibility requirements under the Building Code of Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act and AS 1428.1. BCAlign provides access consulting across Sydney and NSW for new and existing buildings, helping architects, developers and builders design spaces that are compliant and genuinely usable for people of all abilities. From concept design through to certification, we prepare accessibility compliance assessment reports, review performance solutions, and carry out access audits. Addressing access early avoids costly redesigns later, and our consultants resolve conflicting requirements by aligning access obligations with the wider BCA and fire safety picture.
What does an access consultant do?
An access consultant advises on how a building can meet accessibility legislation and standards, then documents that compliance for approval. At BCAlign our access consulting covers:
Design advice and technical guidance for accessibility in new and existing buildings
Preparation of comprehensive Accessibility Compliance Assessment Reports
Preparation and review of Accessibility Performance Solutions
Access Audit and upgrade reports for existing buildings
Livable housing and adaptability assessments for new buildings
Access progress inspections of building works and certification
What is an AS 1428.1 access report?
AS 1428.1 is the Australian Standard for design for access and mobility, and an AS 1428.1 access report assesses a building against its requirements for entrances, circulation, ramps, doorways and sanitary facilities. BCAlign prepares these reports for new developments and existing building upgrades across NSW, giving design teams a clear path to accessibility compliance.
What types of buildings does BCAlign work on?
You need an access consultant whenever a development must demonstrate accessibility compliance, which applies to most commercial, retail, public and multi residential buildings. Involving an access consultant during design prevents accessibility problems that are expensive or impossible to fix once construction is underway.
Why choose BCAlign as your access consultant?
BCAlign brings access, BCA and fire safety knowledge together under one roof, so access is treated as part of an integrated compliance strategy rather than an isolated checklist item. Our registered NSW Building Surveyors (Unrestricted) provide practical solutions that work both on paper and in practice.
