Accommodation Legal Reports
Our architects provide an assessment and cost estimation of what is required to modify an existing dwelling or construct a purpose-built home or building to accommodate the client’s present and future needs.
Our reports provide clear, comprehensive, and legal sound documentation to support individuals with disability-related housing needs. These reports are often used in support of funding applications, legal proceedings, or planning approvals, and are prepared with care by registered architects for personal Injury Lawyers.
Our team’s expertise also includes experienced and qualified access consultants who understand the challenges, responsibilities and importance of creating safe accessible built environments that enable people with disability to live life fully.
Our reports are structured to meet both the client’s needs and relevant legal and regulatory standards. When completing a report, the following activities are typically undertaken and include:

- Review medical and support documentation
