Q&As
How do we create a wheelchair friendly accommodation?
We would like to make our three-bedroom and two-bedroom barn conversions into wheelchair friendly holiday accommodation.
We are struggling to find any guidance re specifications/costs and wondered if you could point us in the right direction please?

Architects and designers can help you with the design, as well as preparing a cost guide for your project.
Estimators are able to cost your project in detail, including materials and labour. You can read more about their work here: Quantity Surveyor or Estimator?
The Build It Estimating Service can be a great way to understand your project cost.
