"…The report is exemplary. The completed report was a model of readability, thoroughness, and organization. It was arranged to make it equally useful to the architect, maintenance department, business department and overall administration. I recommend him without qualification."

Ellen Taussig

"The market buildings are hard to track for those of us that work here on a regular basis, and very challenging for all of our visitors…The survey was very thorough, and included suggestions of how to tackle the numerous complex issues that challenge an older historic facility…We would highly recommend Endelman & Associates for any ADA survey work due to their high level of skill in this area, and their professional attitude."

"I wanted to write this note of appreciation for the excellent job Endelman & Associates PLLC did in reviewing design development drawings…Not only did the review point out some areas where we had not fully met the complex, combined requirements of WAC, FHA and the ADA, but also the work was performed very quickly to accommodate our rush schedule. I found your report format thorough and easy to use…Please feel free to use me as a reference for your future work."

"Thank you very much for all of your effort these past few years. It was really nice to work with someone that was not only there to do a job, but there to help as well. You made my job easier simply by being yourself. You were always fair and honest with me, and that’s what I appreciated the most. Thanks again Bill, I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Your appreciation of both the details of the Act, as well as the need to assess the technical issues in a broader context was of vital importance… Without your assistance, I strongly doubt that a fair settlement could have been achieved. This is for the simple reason that the theater’s legal counsel and insurer were unwilling to realistically asses the issues in this case. I look forward to working with you again in the future."

Fred Diamondstone

“Thanks so much for your help on this. Once again, you have saved me from major heartburn, and I won't forget that as we go through the design of our next project.  We'll keep you posted on our progress.”

"I am copying Bill on this message, although my words of praise will not adequately advise him about the ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT job you did on the phone today.  You explained every issue and answered every one of my questions (mostly idiotic, but maybe some that were okay) in a way not only that I understood, but in a way that explained the relationship between the matter and the rules in question and described the thought process that went into the report, which went far beyond a mere recitation of compliance requirements, but included the steps you and Bill took to provide common sense and well-reasoned remediation steps to achieve compliance without unnecessary waste of my Client's dollars.  I could not have asked for anything better than what I received today.  Thank you for your patience and your communication skills." -

"Thank you very much for speaking at our class this morning. I've already received so much positive feedback from attendees.  It's a bit of a complicated subject but you seem to make it (and no pun intended) so accessible. My sincere thanks for making this such a successful event  and for helping AIA Seattle further our mission to provide quality education to our members. I hope we'll have the opportunity to hear you again soon."

“I have a strong confidence when Endelman & Associates is on our project team.  The code for accessibility and the interpretation of that code requires an expert and the team at Endelman provide that with proven experience.”

“Working with a consultant for accessibility not only requires someone who has a strong knowledge of the codes and how they will be interpreted, but also has the ability to work with us through our phases of design and into construction.  Their ability to understand our work and communicate clearly their review is critical as we progress from concept design to keys in the door.”
