About Purely Access
Our goal is simple - to help you create spaces that everyone can enjoy.
We’re a small team of qualified access consultants who are passionate about creating environments that meet the needs of the whole community. We understand that inaccessible environments can be disabling, limiting participation in social, economic, housing, employment, and community life for people with disability.
We believe good design is accessible design. When accessibility is considered from the start, people with disability can participate alongside their friends, family, and colleagues — without barriers or the need to plan ahead.
Disability is a normal part of the human experience; let us help you design for it!

FAQs

A performance solution is a custom approach to meeting the National Construction Code’s (NCC) Performance Requirements when the standard Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) rules aren’t suitable. Developing a performance solution involves preparing a detailed design brief in consultation with stakeholders, conducting thorough analysis or testing, and compiling evidence to demonstrate compliance with the NCC’s mandatory performance criteria. This process is collaborative, rigorous, and documented in a formal report that confirms all relevant requirements have been met and specifies any conditions or limitations. As a professional writing these solutions, it is essential to ensure objectivity, transparency, and technical accuracy throughout, providing a clear and verifiable pathway to compliance tailored to the unique aspects of each project

The process of writing a Performance Solution begins with preparing a Performance-Solution Brief in consultation with relevant stakeholders. This brief clearly defines the scope of the solution, the applicable NCC Performance Requirements, acceptance criteria, and the assessment methods to be used. Then, a comprehensive Performance Solution Report is prepared, detailing the design, analysis methods, evaluation outcomes, confirmation of compliance, and any conditions or limitations. Throughout this process, clear documentation, collaboration, and technical accuracy are essential to ensure the proposal aligns with NCC requirements and is approved by regulatory authorities.
