360° immersive disability access surveys. Evidence buyers can navigate, share, and act on.
Comprehensive accessibility audits captured as fully-navigable 360° virtual tours, with annotated barrier identification aligned to the Equality Act 2010, BS 8300 and BS 9999. Delivered as a hosted environment you can navigate, share and act on, rather than a static report.
Accessibility
you can
walk through.
A traditional access audit is a PDF. It identifies barriers, but the people who have to act on it can rarely picture the space it describes. We capture the building itself: a navigable 360° tour with every barrier and feature annotated in place, aligned to the Equality Act 2010 (opens in a new tab), BS 8300 and BS 9999. This is the work usually commissioned as a DDA audit or accessibility audit (the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 was superseded by the Equality Act 2010 across England, Scotland and Wales).
The result is a single source of truth. A facilities manager can act on it, a visitor with access needs can explore it before arriving, and a board can review it without a site visit. Combined ground-level and aerial capture extends the same evidence to approach routes, car parks, outdoor sites and large estates.
Where most accessibility tools stop, ours starts
Most 360° accessibility information goes only as far as visitor information. Ours is built to carry compliance-grade evidence as well, and it stands apart in four ways. We capture the assessment and the navigable tour in one visit, so you do not commission an auditor and a tour provider separately. We combine ground-level 360° capture with aerial capture, which reaches outdoor sites, approach routes and large estates. The methodology is shaped by the founder's own daily experience of access. And the pricing is transparent and per building, published below.
Scope
Building type, scale, the standards in scope and whether a compliance-grade audit or capture-and-guide deliverable is required.
Approach routes, car parks and outdoor areas included where relevant.
Capture
Ground-level 360° capture throughout, a measured 3D scan so widths and heights can be checked in the tour, plus aerial capture of approaches and large or outdoor estates, all in a single visit.
Barriers and features photographed in context.
Assess & annotate
Barriers identified and annotated against the Equality Act 2010, BS 8300 and BS 9999.
Compliance-grade audit delivered with / under an NRAC-registered access consultant.
Publish
Hosted as a navigable, accessible 360° tour with a written access report and text transcript.
Keyboard-navigable, screen-reader-friendly and captioned.
Every zone,
against the
right standard.
We work through the building the way a disabled visitor or employee does, from the car park to the furthest WC. Each feature is checked against the standard that governs it, so the findings hold up in procurement and, where it comes to it, in a reasonable-adjustments case. Building work is also read against Approved Document M, Volume 2 (opens in a new tab) of the Building Regulations (buildings other than dwellings).

What's available
now, and
what's the roadmap.
We are explicit about what we can deliver today versus what depends on accreditation. There is no statutory qualification to carry out access surveys in the UK, but a compliance-grade audit only carries procurement and legal credibility under an accredited access consultant.
Available now, no accreditation required
The capture-and-guide deliverable, the navigable 360° tour plus a visitor-facing access guide, requires no accreditation and is available today.
Compliance-grade audits
Delivered under NRAC partnership (an accredited access consultant is the client-facing partner), or in-house once the founder holds NRAC accreditation (Auditor, then Consultant). NRAC is an individual, peer-reviewed accreditation, a two-stage written submission plus a professional interview, assessing the Equality Act 2010 and built-environment competency. We frame in-house compliance-audit delivery as a roadmap milestone, not a day-one claim.
The methodology behind this service is informed by daily lived experience of navigating buildings that were not designed for everyone. That perspective shapes what we look for, how we describe it, and why we insist the evidence itself be accessible.

There is no statutory qualification to carry out access surveys in the UK, but a compliance-grade audit carries procurement and legal credibility when delivered by, or in partnership with, an accredited access consultant. The relevant credential is NRAC (National Register of Access Consultants), with Auditor and Consultant tiers. The capture-and-guide deliverable requires no accreditation and is available now.
Yes. The tour deliverable and its embed are built to be accessible, keyboard-navigable, screen-reader-friendly and captioned, with an accompanying text transcript of the access findings. An inaccessible accessibility artefact would be a reputational risk, so accessibility of the deliverable is a hard requirement, not an afterthought.
From £1,400–£2,200 for a small single building under 500m², £2,200–£3,500 standard commercial, £3,500–£6,000 multi-floor, £6,000–£12,000 large complex, and £8,000–£25,000+ for a multi-building estate. Heritage or listed buildings carry a 15–25% premium. Six months hosting is included, then £300/year per building.
Yes, it covers the same ground. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 was superseded by the Equality Act 2010 in England, Scotland and Wales, so the duty now sits under the Equality Act, with BS 8300 as the design standard, BS 9999 for escape, and Approved Document M where building work is involved. The scope runs from approach and parking through to accessible WCs and means of escape, set out in full above.
