ADA Inspections Nationwide, LLC, offers building inspections for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA) for compliance with the regulations applicable for each Act. The ADA regulations typically include the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, Title II for State, County, and Local government facilities, Title III for public accommodations and commercial facilities. The ABA regulation is the Architectural Barriers Act Standards (2015) for facilities designed, built, altered, or leased with certain federal funds. And the FHA inspections of multi-family dwellings reference the FHA Design Manual safe harbor and 2010 ADA Standards, unless otherwise agreed.

Protocol for these building inspections is taken from the principles of ASTM E 2018-08 guide. The purpose of this guide is to define good customary practice in the United States of America for conducting a baseline property condition assessment (PCA) by performing a walk-through survey and conducting research as outlined within the guide.

ASTM E 2018-08 describes three levels of accessibility inspections: Tier I, Tier II and Tier III.  ADAIN offers all three levels of inspection.  So why three levels?  Price, and different levels of thoroughness.  Each level comes with a different price.  Tier I is the lowest price and provides limited information and no written report.  Tier II offers more specific information and includes a short report, but costs more than Tier I.  Tier III is the most complete inspection and results in a comprehensive written report, and costs the most.  See below for more information about the three levels.

Tier I: Visual Accessibility Survey

The scope of this Tier I survey/inspection is limited to visual observations only.  No measurements or counts are taken by the inspector.  Only a basic overview of the general condition of the building is provided. 

Tier II: Abbreviated Accessibility Survey

This Tier II survey/inspection is an abbreviated (limited) accessibility survey subject to representative sampling. The scope of this survey is limited to the building history, parking, ramps, entrances/exits, paths of travel, elevators, public toilet rooms, and ADA compliant guest rooms. 

Tier III: Full Accessibility Survey

The consultant will conduct this thorough Tier III ADA inspection service to address each visible and measurable element and space within and without a facility.

Peer Review Inspection

ADA Inspections Nationwide, LLC, offers pro-active peer review inspections for owners, architects, engineers and general contractors involved with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Architectural Barriers Act (ABA), and Fair Housing Act (FHA) building installations. A peer review can identify ADA, ABA and FHA accessibility compliance issues during the design, construction, and post-construction phases of new buildings and renovations or additions to existing buildings.
