Their advice is comprehensive, clear, and thoughtful. They have been a reliable and collaborative consultant in helping VIU develop meaningful and inclusive solutions.

Toyota Canada’s Eastern Canada Parts Distribution Centre was designed from the outset with accessibility as a core objective. The project team partnered with ABE Factors Inc. to assist with design and conduct a comprehensive facility audit, ultimately achieving a “Gold” rating from the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification™ program.

ABE Factors has been a valuable technical resource for our team. They are responsive, practical, and easy to work with, and consistently provide clear, thoughtful guidance on accessibility requirements. Their support has helped us work through both complex accessibility challenges and focused technical questions on our restoration projects with greater confidence.

ABE Factors provided an exceptional accessibility review of parking kiosks prior to their procurement and deployment. Their ability to interpret complex accessibility regulations and standards, while translating them into practical and actionable recommendations, was invaluable. The assessment not only confirmed areas of compliance but also highlighted opportunities to improve usability for a diverse range of passengers. As a result, we were able to collaborate with the vendor to ensure maximal accessibility features in the units from the get-go.
