At Vallabh Bailey Consulting, we collaborate closely with clients, project managers, architects, builders, and developers to create more accessible and inclusive environments. This collaborative approach ensures that our access design complements both new and existing spaces, fostering greater commitment and purpose in every project.

We begin by spending time with every client, carefully listening and observing to identify opportunities for enhancing the environment. This deep understanding forms the foundation for smarter project delivery that makes life easier. Our goal is to develop empathetic and trusting relationships by understanding your specific needs and desires.

Our team combines extensive experience in Building Surveying and Access Consulting with the expertise of a qualified and registered architect. This unique approach allows us to provide innovative ‘design solutions’ for access problem-solving, going beyond mere compliance.

We provide assessments of proposed developments against the requirements of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) and Disability (Access to Premises – Building) Standards 2010. These assessments take place at various crucial stages, from project commencement to construction and occupation. We collaborate closely with design and project management teams to ensure compliance, accessibility, and inclusion requirements are met.

We actively promote the concept of Universal Design, which is all about creating inclusive spaces for everyone. Our approach is not about adding extra costs but rather integrating inclusive design thinking from the project’s inception. This ensures that accessibility is seamlessly woven into the project’s DNA, benefiting all users and future-proofing your spaces.

A Performance Solution is unique for each individual situation. These solutions are often flexible in achieving the outcomes and encouraging innovative design and technology use. A Performance Solution directly addresses the Performance Requirements by using one or more of the Assessment Methods available in the NCC. Our team offers advice on performance-based compliance strategies, working closely with the design team to identify opportunities for cost- or function-based design improvements. We ensure that departures from Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions are well-understood and develop Performance-Based Design Briefs for approval.

We offer accessibility audits to assess existing buildings’ compliance with current codes, including accessibility and universal design principles. We work closely with clients to provide options and resolutions to bring existing buildings in line with current code compliance.

Universal design is about creating an inclusive society through thoughtful design. It can be applied to anything and everything that is designed in our world. Inclusive design is not an extra cost; when incorporated correctly from the project’s start, it enhances accessibility and inclusivity.

We work closely with design teams to ensure compliance with the Disability Standards for Accessible Public Transport (DSAPT). Our goal is to assist providers and operators of public transport conveyances, infrastructure, and premises in meeting minimum accessibility requirements for all passengers.

Partnering with Vallabh Bailey Consulting ensures that your projects meet accessibility requirements, reducing the risk of compliance issues and costly design changes later in the process. Our expertise not only enhances accessibility but also adds value to your projects, making them more inclusive and user-friendly.
