62% of People with Disabilities say they are likely to do business with companies that have a commitment to diversity and equal treatment of employees.

If you are a business representative, legal counsel, real estate agent, or an owner of a real estate agency, then it is in your best interest to offer your client Access.Architectural services.   The Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings & Facilities (ADAAG) requires most buildings or facilities built or purchased after July 26, 1994 to meet or exceed accessibility standards.  Access.Architectural can plan a site visit to help identify potential problem areas and barriers to access that prevent customers, employees, or clients with disabilities from using these facilities.

If your business is building a new facility or is planning an addition or remodel to an existing facility, then you will need to think about accessibility as required by ADAAG. The Department of Justice has also recently accepted the Federal Access Board's proposed changes for new requirements for accessibility of recreational facilities, pools, wading pools, and spas that need to be considered before you begin your project. Access.Architectural will evaluate your site plans to make sure that they are in full compliance with all access guidelines and requirements.

Once your business facilities and/or plans have been properly evaluated, Access.Architectural will also provide cost-effective recommendations for improvements and adjustments.

Having your business and its facilities inspected and brought up to code does not have to be a costly process and can often be spread out over a period of 3-5 years. If your business is interested in compliance and is worried about immediate costs or possible lawsuits stemming from current lack of accessibility, Access.Architectural can help you create a Strategic Accessibility Implementation Plan. By planning for the future, your business can offset the costs of ADA improvements and avoid any potential legal problems by creating your Strategic Accessibility Plan now. This will allow you to spread your costs out over the course of up to 5 years and show that your business is in the process of becoming more accessible.
