Services / Disability Access Certificate (DAC)
Access should be considered as part of the design conversation. If your project may need a Disability Access Certificate, share the proposal so the relevant requirements and technical inputs can be identified.
Approaches, entrances, internal circulation and facilities are useful topics for an early discussion. The design and documentation need to be considered together with the building’s use and the relevant Part M requirements.
Existing plans, proposed layouts and any previous certificates help the team understand the project. Drawings, documentation and specialist contributions for a DAC application are agreed to suit the appointment and professional responsibilities.
A DAC is issued by the relevant Building Control Authority. Requirements vary by building and works; it should not be assumed that every domestic extension needs one. Planning approval does not replace building control requirements.
Requirements depend on the building and proposed works. We can review the project and identify the appropriate technical support and statutory process. Any application or specialist appointment is subject to an agreed scope.
