Overview
As regulations and expectations around inclusive design evolve, building surveyors play a critical role in ensuring that the built environment is accessible to all. This webinar provides RICS members with up-to-date, practical guidance on identifying, assessing, and improving accessibility in both existing and new buildings. Attendees will gain insight into key UK&I legislative frameworks, common accessibility pitfalls, and real-world examples of inclusive design solutions. Whether working in residential, commercial, or public sectors, this session will help surveyors promote environments that are not only compliant, but truly inclusive.
