AvalonBay Accessibility Design Reviews

We were hired to review architectural drawings prior to construction for compliance with Washington Accessibility Code, California Building Code, HUD’s Fair Housing Act and the ADA on 15 proejcts to date. ADA only applies to the leasing office, retail space and associated parking for the multi-unit buildings. We found some accessibility items that could have had significant cost impacts, if left until after construction to solve. We are contracted to due some accessibility construction observation as a follow-up to the drawing reviews.
