How to Build Accessible or ADA compliant.?

In: Home Improvement, Architecture [Recategorize]

[Edit]

There are many advantages to building ACCESSIBLE or ADA COMPLIANT.

There is one good reference that I would send you to first. That is your local building official. This person will be able to tell you which codes are applicable in your area. They also can help you understand how they are interpreting these codes and specifications. Why would this be important? Isn't the code written in black and white? Yes and YES… however, the bible is also written in black and white and you know how many different interpretations there are on that one.

Seccond there is a place called the Access Board. They are tasked with developing and interpreting the Fair Housing Act (FHA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA). Here is a link to their site (www.access-board.gov).
