Do ADA requirements apply to my property?

ADA requirements apply differently depending on property type, public accessibility, and federal or state funding. Commercial buildings and public accommodations typically must comply. Residential single-family homes generally are not covered by Title III of ADA unless they are part of a public accommodation or commercial property. Our audits clarify applicability.

What is an accessibility audit?

An accessibility audit documents existing non-compliant elements relative to ADA standards and state codes. The audit includes measurements, photographs, and recommendations for corrective work.

How long does ADA compliance work take?

Timelines vary with scope. Minor adjustments (signage, hardware changes) can be executed quickly, while structural changes (ramps, restrooms) require design, permitting, and construction time.

Will you handle permit submittals?

Yes. We prepare necessary documentation and coordinate with local building departments for permits and inspections.

Can modifications be phased?

Yes. We recommend phasing larger compliance projects to minimize disruption and manage budget impacts.
