ADA Plan Review
What Is ADA Plan Review?
ADA Plan Review is the process of assessing architectural plans and specifications to verify compliance with ADA regulations, ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Construction, modifications, or enhancements for tenants must adhere to the regulations set forth by the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and the California Building Code (CBC).
Authorities mandate a thorough examination of construction blueprints by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) during the design evaluation phase. ADA plan review is important to verify ADA compliance, mitigating the risk of expensive modifications later on. ADA Access Consultants provides a comprehensive look at specific elements or entire projects.
