PAA® – Specialised advice on universal design and accessibility compliance
Designs Reviews at Concept, Schematic, Design Development, Tender, and Construction stages.
PAA® Accessibility Design Reviews ensure architectural drawings and specifications consistently adhere to the applicable building codes and accessibility standards. We prepare a clear report that outlines the verified minimum requirements, together with practical best-practice recommendations and marked-up drawings for easy visual reference.
Assessments of key components in the built environment.
PAA® can review the design and documentation of stairs, ramps, toilets, passenger lifts, doorways, signage, and other similar elements to ensure compliance with the BCA, DDA, and AS 1428 standards. Our assessments help identify potential issues early, support smoother approvals, and promote safe, inclusive, and accessible environments for all users throughout the project phases.
Expert peer reviews, product assessments, second opinions, and defect liability inspections.
With building and disability legislation becoming increasingly complex, PAA® can help stakeholders navigate exemptions, concessions, and performance allowances with greater clarity. We provide clear and practical interpretations of the minimum requirements, explaining how they apply to the specific project context and what options exist within the permitted regulatory pathways.
Performance Solution Reports, determinations, and performance-based compliance.
Performance solutions offer creative and flexible alternatives when the prescriptive provisions of the building codes cannot be readily achieved. Whether the constraints stem from structural limitations, existing site conditions, or specific design preferences, we specialise in resolving these challenges while maintaining compliance and design intent.
Access audits, access appraisals, compliance inspections, and insurance reports.
PAA® includes Perth Access Audits™, and we conduct in-depth accessibility audits and site inspections to verify that your property adheres to the relevant accessibility requirements. From improving overall safety and usability, to managing complaints, responding to compliance queries, or correcting unapproved or non-conforming work, we’ve got you covered with practical, actionable guidance.
Expert advice during construction and building projects.
PAA® can help with compliance during your construction project. You may want to be more inclusive and provide a safer and accessible environment. Or there may have been a change to the design made that impacted the available space or levels. Or, work may have been completed without a building approval, and you need to know how to rectify the situation. Either way, we can help.
