DDA Assessments

Serving customers throughout Sheffield, Chesterfield & surrounding areas

The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 places a requirement on building owners to ensure that Disabled Persons Access audits are undertaken on specific types of buildings and that, where practical, alterations are made to accommodate the requirements of disabled people.

The Act provides a definition of disability; "A disability is a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on a person's ability to carry out normal day to day activities".

It follows therefore, that disabled people can have impaired hearing or sight, as well as mobility issues, all of which should be taken into consideration when preparing a DDA access audit.

Chandlers Building Surveyors aim is to provide practical advice to enable cost effective measures to be implemented in buildings.
