IBC/ICC A1171. Accessibility Specialist Services
Swasey Consulting's Passion for Accessibility Services
Our passion for creating inclusive environments began with our early involvement in accessibility standards like Chapter 11 of the UBC and the 2003 A117.1 standard. We are dedicated to advocating for those often overlooked by traditional building designs and strengthening laws to hold accountable those who impede lawful features.
One experience that profoundly shaped our commitment to accessibility was a conversation with a small gym owner. During a change of occupancy, the owner was frustrated by the requirements for accessible showers, mistakenly believing his gym wouldn't serve those with impairments. This perspective, unfortunately, is common and stems from misconceptions about what people with disabilities can do and the complexities of intermittent impairments.
At Swasey Consulting, we understand that accessibility goes beyond accommodating wheelchair users—it's about ensuring all individuals, regardless of their specific impairments, can access and use facilities. This belief is deeply ingrained in our approach to every project.
We are here to help you understand and meet accessibility requirements, ensuring that your projects are not only compliant but also inclusive and fair to all users. Let us guide you in creating spaces that truly welcome everyone.
