Initial review
We understand program, users, operation and restrictions.
New spaces and adaptations
Architectural accessibility design
Technical solutions designed for the real functioning of the building, integrating circulation, autonomy, safety and architectural identity.
Accessibility is not an element added at the end. It must guide decisions from the beginning.
Direct answer
What is an accessibility design project?
It is the development of architectural solutions that eliminate or reduce barriers and allow people to use the building with more safety, autonomy and comfort.
The project can be created alongside a new building or developed to adapt an existing property. In both cases, decisions need to consider use, flows, physical limitations, applicable standards and feasibility of execution.
When to hire
- When planning a new store, clinic, hotel, restaurant or corporate unit.
- Before a renovation or layout change.
- After a report identifies necessary interventions.
- Standardizing accessibility for chains and franchises.
- When adapting a building to regularize or improve the user experience.
What the project can include
Depending on the scope, access, accessible routes, horizontal and vertical circulation, restrooms, changing rooms, parking spaces, counters, furniture, signage, differences in level, ramps and integration between environments can be studied.
The level of detail and documents delivered are defined according to the stage of the project and the responsibility assumed by Acessibilize.

Guidance
We support the understanding and application of decisions.
Documents, deliverables and project limits
To start, send the city, the purpose of the space, the available plans, the stage of the project and the desired deadline. In existing properties, it is necessary to check whether the drawings correspond to what is built. Photographs and previous surveys help identify the need for supplementation.
The proposal defines the areas covered and the documents to be developed, such as plans, details and relevant specifications. Initial studies and executive project have different levels of information: delivery must correspond to the contracted stage, without leaving essential accessibility decisions for improvisation in the work.
Execution, budget, administrative approvals, complementary projects and construction monitoring need to be forecast separately when necessary. The development of the project does not guarantee the issuance of licenses by the responsible bodies.
If you don't yet know the property barriers, start with technical accessibility report. If you already have a project and need a specialized review, get to know accessibility consultancy. Interventions in existing environments are addressed in accessibility adjustments.
In doubt about hiring? Compare accessibility report and project: purpose, deliverables and when to hire.
Before requesting a proposal, see when to hire an accessibility project and what information to gather.
Frequently asked questions
Is the project only for renovations?
No. Incorporating accessibility from the design of a building tends to produce more integrated solutions and reduce rework.
Is it possible to adapt an existing building?
Yes, but the solution depends on the physical conditions, use and limitations of the property. Therefore, the initial survey is essential.
Does the project replace the report?
They are different deliveries. The report records and analyzes the situation found; the project details the necessary solutions.
Are you going to build, renovate or adapt?
Include accessibility before it becomes rework.
Show the project stage and the characteristics of the property so we can evaluate the best path.
