DUE DILIGENCE

As commercial properties are sold, existing accessibility issues and liability may be passed on to the new owner resulting in unexpected costs for remediation. EQUAL ACCESS provides comprehensive accessibility surveys for real estate brokers and property owners prior to sale to determine the extent of accessibility obligation which could also affect the final asking or sales price.

ACCESSIBILITY-RELATED CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION

EQUAL ACCESS provides accessibility-related construction observation during the construction of commercial buildings to help assure compliance with accessibility standards. Site visits occur at various key stages of construction such as grading, forming of foundation/slab, framing, forming of walkways/ramps, and finish.

ARCHITECTURAL PEER REVIEW

Architectural design development and construction document drawings are reviewed to determine accurate inclusion of accessibility features. The drawings are highly recommended to be reviewed prior to commencing with the construction of a project to minimize change orders and to possibly delay the construction schedule. A detailed written report of the review is provided.
