ACCESSIBILITY/ADA CONSULTING
Evaluate specific accessibility challenges at the design phase, during construction, or as-built conditions to identify the applicable accessibility requirement(s), the level of conformance, and develop solutions that meet the intent of the Code and Standards. YCI assists our Clients with resolving ADA/accessibility compliance challenges with the Authorities Having Jurisdiction (e.g., plan reviewers and building inspectors).
Tailored to address the accessibility /ADA requirements specific to the project needs. This report is used by the design team to develop a accessibility /ADA compliant permit application set that will help reduce the number of plan review corrections and reduce the plan review processing time.
Save time and money interpreting ambiguous and sometimes extraneous accessibility/ADA plan review corrections by having YCI assist with preparing responses to Building Code Accessibility and ADA Plan Review Corrections.
