We work side by side with architects, draftsmen, building inspectors,and contractors to design and implement successful ADA design and ADA remediation projects. ADACC bridges the gap between property owners, architects and contractors. Consulting with us at all phases of construction can help save time and money in the future. Having your construction drawings thoroughly reviewed can prevent delays at the permitting stage. A knowledgable liaison during construction will ensure your project is built to code and a thorough post-construction inspection means there will be no surprises from the city inspector. Every day, lawsuits are filed against business and property owners for violations of ADA guidelines. Litigation can be prevented by complying from the start. The law is detailed and specific. ADACC will help you determine what is required; then we'll work together to make a viable plan for compliance. REMODELING Business and property owners often find themselves in a position where they would like to remodel their existing property either to modernize or repair damage. One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of remodeling is bringing the property up to code with respect to the Americans with Disabilities Act. Business and Property owners put themselves in a position of financial risk by ignoring or overlooking the provisions for accessibility set out in both Federal and State code. Did you know that each violation carries punitive damages of $4,000 per violation per day? It doesn't take very many violations to quickly put a small business behind the eight ball financially. Fortunately, a knowledgeable consultant can help you navigate these often confusing waters. Carefully read your contracts to determine what limits of liability your architect and contractor have written in with respect to ADA.
