Vertical Access strives to eliminate uncertainty in the design and construction process by providing accurate and practical information to its clients.

Vertical Access provides specialized building inspections and condition reports for architects, engineers, and conservators utilizing efficient, lightweight rigging systems. This unique approach to architectural investigation offers quick, "hands-on" access without expensive and time-consuming conventional swing stage or frame scaffolding, cranes, and boom lifts.

Buildings and monuments with hard-to-reach areas such as steeples, domes, towers, chimneys, and high parapet or screen walls are the company's specialty.

Because effective and intelligent collection of data in the field is essential to providing consistent and useful report documents, Vertical Access utilizes handheld computers to record existing conditions.

While industrial rope access is the means to an end, the ultimate service is the collection, management, presentation, and sharing of condition survey data. Vertical Access does not typically engage in repair or maintenance work. Instead, by concentrating on the investigation and documentation of existing conditions, Vertical Access maintains an objective point of view, free of inevitable conflicts of interest.
