Accessibility Assessments

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

The K2M team performs accessibility surveys of your facility and site to determine areas of non-conformance to applicable codes. Detailed inspections of building and site elements capture existing conditions and measurements of key conditions of non-compliant items/areas taken. 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 the recommendations in order of magnitude to bring the facility within the compliance guidelines of the governing accessibility codes. Transition plans are developed for larger institutions where a multi-year budgeting is required. Reports include:

Code Overview / Executive Summary explaining accessibility requirements and the survey process for each facility, roadway, or project site
Barrier, Location and Accessibility Code / 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
