Accessibility Assessments

Comprehensive surveys evaluate levels of compliance and provide recommendations for compliance with jurisdictional requirements.

The K2M team performs accessibility surveys of our clients’ facilities and sites to determine areas of non-conformance to applicable codes. Detailed inspections of building and site elements capture existing conditions and measurements are taken of key conditions for non-compliant items/areas. In addition, the team of ADA specialists, architects, and engineers provide recommendations to bring facilities into compliance with supporting detail, technical feasibility, and cost.

K2M will prioritize our recommendations in order of severity to bring the facility into compliance with the governing accessibility codes. Transition plans are developed for larger institutions where multi-year budgeting is required. Reports include:

Code Overview / Executive Summary explaining accessibility requirements and the survey process for each facility, or project site
Barrier, Location and Accessibility Code Citation (if applicable)
Recommended solutions
Clarification codes and comments for each recommendation
Cost per item
General priority per the preamble to the governing accessibility code
Photos of typical or unique barriers
Key Plan drawings as appropriate to locate areas of concern
Written facility summaries
Capability for ongoing database management
