Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

Blue Shuck Consulting Ltd is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities. We endeavour to continually improve the user experience for everyone and actively apply the relevant accessibility standards to our web application platform.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The platform is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. "Partially conformant" means that while the vast majority of our core interface, billing screens, data tables, and navigation elements meet the accessibility standards, certain highly specialized graphical mapping features have technical limitations that we are actively working to resolve.

Accessibility Features in Our App

Across our core platform (including settings panels, billing portals, item master catalogs, and downstream invoicing grids), we implement the following features:

• Text Alternatives: We provide alternative text (alt attributes) for non-decorative interface icons and operational graphics.
• Semantic Structure: Standard HTML layouts are used to support assistive technologies such as screen readers, maintaining consistent heading hierarchies.
• Predictable Navigation: Form controls, submission menus, and data entries follow predictable operational flows.
• Contrast Requirements: Text elements and core user interface boundaries are designed to respect the necessary luminosity contrast ratios against backgrounds.

Known Technical Limitations & Disclosures

Due to the highly specialized, graphical nature of a pre-construction estimation tool, users may encounter limitations within our Blueprint Takeoff Canvas:

• Interactive Vector Canvas & Pointer Dependency: The digital measurement interface requires users to upload architectural PDFs, calibrate a precise baseline scale, and execute manual vector snapping (e.g., clicking on walls, drawing bounding boxes to determine floor area, and point-and-click counting). Because this feature is fundamentally dependent on precise spatial and fine-motor cursor coordination, it currently cannot be fully driven via a standard keyboard alone.
• Dense Tabular Data & Screen Scaling: The platform utilizes advanced interactive tables to track raw material costs and dynamic labor markups. While standard zooming up to 200% is supported across the application, scaling past this threshold on standard desktop viewports may require horizontal scrolling within complex layout grids.
• Complex Drawing Contexts: Legibility of screen reader descriptions may vary based on user-uploaded blueprints. The application reads user-defined labels and database entries perfectly, but it cannot programmatically translate un-scraped structural text buried deep inside dense legacy architectural raster drawings.

Feedback & Contact Information

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of our software. If you experience any technical barriers or require data formats (such as specific CSV or estimate registers) in an alternative layout, please let us know:

• Email: support@blueshuckconsulting.com
• Response Time: We aim to respond to accessibility inquiries within 2 business days.

Assessment and Continuous Improvement

We assess the accessibility of the platform through regular self-evaluations, automated code linter reviews, and iterative testing during our product sprint cycles. Our development roadmap actively prioritizes enhancing keyboard navigation alternatives and expanding screen reader definitions outside the immediate drawing viewport.
