Our services
We provide the feedback you need to make your building accessible to people of all abilities – because we all deserve access.
Our services are divided into three main offerings:
Accessibility assessments (audits)
We offer accessibility assessment and consultation services, which offer simple and straightforward feedback on your building’s accessibility.
This option is great for business clients and those unfamiliar with accessibility – a friendly and gentle starting point.

Accessibility certification (RHFAC ™)

RHFAC is an industry-level certification program (similar to LEED) that certifies the level of accessibility of your building, using best practices in universal design.
With RHFAC, you can discover the level of accessibility for your business or building – and receive input on how to improve.
This option is ideal for construction companies, building maintenance and management professionals, and large complexes.
