Featured Projects

Defence – Unique Projects

Client:

Department of Defence, Various Designers & Builders

Role:

BCA, DDA Accessibility & MFPE Consultant & Certifier

Project Summary:

Many of the Defence projects we have worked on have been quite unique, presenting risks and challenges that are not ordinary encountered on regular projects including missile test facilities, extremely remote locations, explosives storage, combat training simulation buildings and heritage restrictions.

The standard BCA and DDA Accessibility requirements do not always apply appropriately to these scenarios, but through our experience and knowledge of the Defence Manuals, we have developed tested compliance approaches to address these areas and provide for safe and equitable outcomes. For our clients, this means clear compliance direction from early in the project to reduce potential delays caused by unexpected compliance issues.
