Origin Heritage can help you with project planning for heritage buildings/sites, funding ideas, and feasibility studies. 

Accessibility Auditing and Compliance Consulting

Origin Heritage provide Accessibility Reports for Building Consent Documentation packages. Typically an Accessibility Report will cover matters such as: door widths, surface finishes, toilet layout & numbers, lifts, handrails, car parking, and signage. The purpose of an accessibility report is to give an overview of the proposed design or existing building against the requirements of the relevant NZ Building Act sections, Building Code clauses/solutions and standards (NZS 4121:2001).
