New Development, Alterations & refurbishment
Good design is inclusive design - able to be used by all, safely and without undue effort or inconvenience.
Future Inclusive will advise on meeting Planning and Building Control requirements, and your clients' duties after completion and handover under the Disability Discrimination Acts [DDA], and the Regulatory reform [Fire Safety] Order 2005
Incorporating inclusive access and egress into the design process at all stages avoids delays or unnecessary expenditure during construction.
