Walkthrough checklist
- Walk the route from the actual building approach, including thresholds, doors and level changes.
- Identify functions that need an approachable position and reachable controls, and check them with users.
- Check furniture, contrast and signage against applicable accessibility requirements with the project professional.
Worked example
Imagine a home worker who uses a mobility aid and needs to reach desk controls, printer and files without repeatedly asking for help.
Map the approach and turning sequence with the user's aid and actual equipment. Place high-use controls and supplies within their comfortable reach, then have an appropriate professional review any accessibility requirements.
How to test it
Repeat the walkthrough after furniture is placed and verify the finished design against the applicable local standards.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Place the room off the consultation zone with storage for active project materials nearby.
- Detail
- Use a large shared table, writable surface, and controllable light that supports both screen and paper review.
- Trade-off
- A dedicated room improves focus but removes flexible sales-floor space.
- Spread a typical plan and samples on the table
- Check screen glare and door privacy
