Following up on our International appointments for Smart Cities developments, Sydney Access Consultants has recently established a branch in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, trading as Sydney Access Consultants (Malaysia) PLT. Kuala Lumpur is our gateway to the ASEAN.

Kuala Lumpur is the hometown of Daniel Wong, Architect Partner, so we are no strangers to the Malaysian way of life or the ins and outs of practising architecture in Malaysia. Indeed, approximately 35 years ago Gary Finn was part of a large team of architects (McConnell Smith and Johnson Architects) who formed a joint venture with a Malaysian firm to produce the documentation for Teluk Intan Hospital in Malaysia. Malaysian building practices are not unfamiliar to us at all.

However, we do not propose to register as Architects in Malaysia. Instead, we will export the work of our Malaysian architect colleagues to Australia under the supervision of Sydney Access Consultants, who are registered as architects to practice in NSW.

Otherwise, our operations in Malaysia will concentrate on providing advice in our particular area of expertise, especially access consulting, for which we're accredited in Australia. Our applications to the Global Alliance on Accessible Technologies and Environments [Gaates], for international accreditation, is underway.
