AI systems for access consulting
Access consultants, certifiers, architects and builders spend a large share of their time reading drawings against standards, drafting and checking reports, and keeping track of evidence. We build AI tools, automation and knowledge systems that take the repetitive part of that work off your desk, so your judgement goes where it is needed.
The design of every tool is informed by a qualified access consultant (Diploma of Access Consulting). aXai builds the systems; you remain the professional responsible for the advice.
Every build has a fixed written quote, agreed before any work starts.
What we build for access professionals
Drawing and plan-review assistants
Tools that help you work through a set of drawings methodically: flagging the elements to check, recording what you found, and keeping the review tied to the drawing revision it was made against.
Report drafting and checking
Systems that draft the routine parts of a report from your findings and check the draft against the provisions you cite, so you spend your time on the findings and the advice, not the formatting.
Audit checklists and evidence capture
Structured checklists for walk-throughs and existing-building appraisals, with photos, measurements and notes captured against each item and carried straight into the report.
Knowledge bases of the standards you use
Your own searchable knowledge base of the NCC, referenced Australian Standards and Premises Standards content you are licensed to use, with the edition and clause shown on every answer.
Workflow automation
Intake, scheduling, document handling, revision tracking and follow-up, connected to the tools you already use, so nothing waits on someone remembering.
Performance Solution support
Systems that help you assemble and structure the evidence for a Performance Solution and keep the reasoning traceable, without making the assessment for you.
Who this is for
Access consultants
You do the audits, plan reviews and Performance Solutions. We build the tools that make your reports faster to produce and easier to check, in your own format and voice.
Certifiers and builders
You need access provisions checked at the right stages and the evidence kept. We build the checklists, capture tools and tracking that fit your approval process.
Architects and designers
You want access questions surfaced early, while a drawing is still cheap to change. We build tools that bring the relevant provisions into your design workflow.
Why the domain knowledge matters
Access advice depends on the applicable legislation, the NCC edition in force, the referenced standard and its edition, the building classification, the approval history and the measured site conditions. A tool that ignores any of those produces confident, wrong answers.
That is why every tool we build in this area is designed with a qualified access consultant involved: which edition applies, what the tool must show alongside every answer, where it must stop and hand back to you. The tool keeps the record straight; you make the call.
- Every answer shows its source: document, edition and clause.
- Every finding stays tied to the drawing revision or site visit it came from.
- Every output is groundwork for your assessment; the determination is yours.
- Compliance stays your professional judgement, made on the facts of the site; the tools give you faster, more consistent groundwork to make it.
Where our work sits
aXai builds the AI systems; the built-environment access audits, plan reviews and Performance Solutions are done by you, the access consultant, with your name on the advice. If you are one and want better tools, you are in the right place.
For websites, apps and documents, we deliver digital accessibility work and WCAG accessibility audits with a signed report.
How to start
- A paid discovery session: we look at how you work now, which tasks repeat, and what a first tool would need to do. You get a written scope.
- A defined first tool: one checklist, one report template or one knowledge base, built and in use before anything larger is quoted.
- A staged build: the wider system, delivered in milestones you sign off one at a time.
This is AI and software work, scoped and delivered the same way as everything else we build.
Why aXai
aXai is a disability-led AI, software and accessibility company. We build AI systems, software, and concepts and prototypes ready to scale, and we deliver them through AI-supported work: skilled people with disability in real, properly paid roles, working to clear quality standards, with AI removing the barriers and people keeping the accountability.
Every project runs on our own infrastructure, the Decision Bus and Project Layer, so each step is planned, signed off by a person and on the record. That is our operating advantage. Read how it works.
Access work is one of the places where that model and our technical work meet: the same care about who a building shuts out shapes how we design the tools.
Questions
Will the tool tell me whether a design complies?
It surfaces the provisions, keeps the evidence and drafts the routine parts of a report. Whether a design complies is your professional judgement, made on the facts of the site and the applicable edition.
Which editions of the NCC and standards does it use?
The ones you tell us apply to your work, and the tool shows the edition and clause with every answer. Content you are licensed to use stays yours, inside your own system.
Can it work with our report template?
Yes. Tools are built around your format and voice, so the output looks like your work, because it is.
Who does the audits, plan reviews and Performance Solutions?
You do, as the access consultant. We build the systems that make that work faster to produce and easier to check, and for websites, apps and documents we do the digital accessibility audits ourselves, signed by our founder, who holds a Diploma of Access Consulting.
