We believe that close working relationships help create accessible experiences for everyone. Our team specialises in Accessible/Adaptable Housing solutions, including Special Disability Accommodation (SDA) and Livable Housing Design projects.
Incorporating accessibility is essential in planning and design
We provide a comprehensive range of services, from initial design and construction assessment to feasibility studies, advice, design planning, and approval processes for SDA and Livable Housing projects. Our team collaborates with architects and developers to ensure each project design complies with accessibility requirements. We also look for opportunities to integrate universal design principles, elevating the accessibility of the final building and making it suitable for any resident, regardless of their abilities.
Special Disability Accommodation (SDA)
Jensen Hughes is a leader in SDA, offering end-to-end services from design and construction assessment to project completion. We deeply understand the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and its core mission to empower individuals with disabilities to achieve and maintain their highest level of independence.
Our team provides expert advice, conducts thorough assessments, and certifies residential developments nationwide, ensuring compliance with all relevant design standards and regulations.
Livable Housing (SEPP Housing + NCC)
BCA Part G7 and Part H8 outline essential design elements for Class 1a and 2 dwellings to enhance accessibility and usability for occupants, including seniors and those with mobility impairments.
Jensen Hughes offers a comprehensive suite of services encompassing schematic design reviews, council assessment reports, design development, and construction assessments.
With decades of experience, we approach each project with flexibility and a commitment to delivering tailored solutions that meet unique needs and regulatory requirements.
Adaptable Apartments
Our team provides specialized consulting services for adaptable apartments, ensuring they are designed to be easily modified to meet the changing needs of occupants over time. We offer practical, cost-effective solutions that enhance the functionality and accessibility of adaptable apartments.
By leveraging our extensive experience and deep understanding of adaptability, we work closely with the architect to ensure that not only local Council requirements are met but the design intent of the architect and developer is achieved.
