Consultancy and Specialist Property Assessments
Clear decisions before you build
Good outcomes start with good decisions. ARN Project provides adaptation consultancy that turns clinical goals and lived realities into clear, defensible routes
This includes, what’s feasible in this property, what it costs, how long it takes, and where the risks sit.
Advice is practical and delivery-ready, so you can move from options to action without rework.
What our consultancy covers
We assess the property, functional needs, and constraints, then produce a concise, decision-grade report. Recommendations are prioritised and costed, with staged pathways where speed or budget requires phasing.
- Property suitability and pre-purchase appraisals
- Feasibility for bathrooms, kitchens, structural changes, and access
- Space planning for transfers, equipment fit, and care workflows
- Services checks (falls, drainage, ventilation, power capacity)
- Options and costs with risks, dependencies, and lead times
Staging plans: urgent measures now, permanent works later
From advice to buildable scope
Findings translate directly into specifications and drawings that contractors can price and deliver.
Manufacturer requirements are embedded where relevant (e.g., hoists, pumps, ventilation) so installations perform as intended.
Where unknowns remain, we plan surveys, trials, or prototypes to avoid assumptions that create cost or delay later.
Governance, documentation, and auditability
Consultancy outputs are written for sharing with families, funders, legal teams, and landlords.
Each recommendation includes the rationale, likely impact, and any permission requirements.
If you commission delivery with us or another contractor, the same documentation forms a transparent baseline for scope, programme, and change control.
