ADA Compliance Consultants, Inc. specializes in helping businesses interpret Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements and providing compliant solutions. Whether you are considering a remodel of your facility or are out of compliance due to recent code changes, we guarantee our solution will meet guidelines and potentially save you money.
Having worked in the ADA compliance field since 1998, Chris Taylor
established ADA Compliance Consultants in 2004. We are one of the few companies in the region certified to report on Federal, State and
International access guidelines. Our teams are led by professionals who
are certified by the International Code Council (ICC) as accessibility
inspectors and plans examiners. This ensures that our solution will not
only meet State and international accessibility guidelines, but Federal
guidelines, as well.
Providing access to your business for people with disabilities is not only required by law - it’s good for your business. The Federal government sets the foundation for code, but each State can add to or delete from the Federal requirements as they see fit; this is why most do not meet the Federal Standard at all. Here is an overview of what the differences are:
FEDERAL ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES – these are a set of laws established by the Federal government to protect the civil rights of people with disabilities.
STATE TITLE 24 – Only three states have accessibility guidelines that match the Federal laws, which means that 47 states have local laws that conflict or ignore Federal mandates. Because Federal law supersedes local code, this discrepancy gives people a window of opportunity to sue your business.
As if that weren’t confusing enough, the codes change on a regular basis. Unfortunately there are people who make identifying (and suing) businesses out of compliance their life’s work. Check our Web site often, as we will make every effort to identify changes in code that may impact your business.
