Got questions about ADA compliance? We have answers.
First, it’s just good business … customers can’t buy from you if they can’t get to you. Second, being ADA compliant will decrease your risk of fines and lawsuits — being proactive about changes can save you money. Doing work nationwide, we’ve found people are more litigious than ever, and it’s easier than ever to file time-consuming, costly lawsuits for minor violations. Last, with variations between State and Federal laws, you can be in compliance locally and still be sued for noncompliance with Federal guidelines.

FAQ
Why do I need to worry about ADA code compliance?
How is ADA Compliance Consultants different than other ADA consultants?
We provide thorough exterior and interior evaluations for ADA compliance. Our reports are written so you can understand what’s wrong and how to fix it in simple, plain English. Next, we can provide detailed drawings for the work, provide pre and post-construction inspections and even provide you with qualified contractors to do the work.
Doesn’t State law for ADA compliance have to meet Federal accessibility guidelines?
Most people think that would be true. However, the range of adoption can vary significantly. Some states adopt portions of the federal guidelines verbatim, while others may tweak the law’s language, thereby changing the meaning. In some states, the laws are completely altered. Where states do not fully enforce federal guidelines, it’s here that the door lawsuits is opened.
ADACC knows the state codes (in all 50 states) and designs a solution that blends both state and federal guidelines to ensure you are completely compliant.
How do I know if the contractor I’ve chosen will be able to do the work and meet accessibility guidelines?
ADACC has developed relationships with qualified contractors who meet our strict standards and are reviewed annually. Once the work is completed, we will make a final inspection and let you know that it’s okay to release the final payment to the contractor.
I’ve already paid for an evaluation through another ADA consultant, and the report I got was useless. Can I move forward with ADACC without having to pay for another evaluation?
ADACC will review your current evaluation and expand on it, without an additional evaluation fee. We will not charge a fee for our services until the planning phase, at which time we will design plans that include all required changes. We can also help you select a qualified contractor to implement those plans … someone who understands ADA reconstruction and will perform the work to our satisfaction.
We are here to help your business succeed, and charging you for a service you’ve already paid for, even if the prior vendor’s work was sub-par, is not going to help you solve the problem and move your business forward.
