ACCESSIBILITY PLAN REVIEW & INSPECTIONS

Business Challenge

Private Organizations are challenged with ensuring their projects comply with Federal, State and Local accessibility requirements. There are a number of guidelines that have been adopted throughout the United States.

• Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires public accommodations and commercial facilities comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines ("ADAAG").

• Chapter 11 of the IBC (International Building Code) describes accessible features with which a building must comply.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 117.1 covers accessible design standards.

• Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) of 1968 requires access to facilities designed, built, altered, or leased with Federal funds.

• Fair Housing Accessibility Guidelines provides guidelines on how to comply with the specific accessibility requirements of the Fair Housing Act (FHA).

Additionally, many state and local governments have adopted amendments to the accessibility codes and regulations.
