The 7 ADA Deficiencies That Delay Commercial Projects

Avoid Permit Comments Before They Happen.

Every week, our team reviews commercial building plans and identifies accessibility issues that can lead to permit comments, redesigns, construction delays, and unnecessary costs.

We compiled the seven most common ADA and ICC A117.1 deficiencies we encounter into one practical guide designed specifically for architects, engineers, designers, and project managers. The guide is based on recurring plan review findings, including door maneuvering clearances, turning spaces, reach ranges, restroom layouts, parking requirements, and other accessibility details that are frequently overlooked.

What You'll Learn

Inside this FREE publication you'll discover:

• Floor level transition mistakes that create accessibility barriers

• Door maneuvering clearance errors that often result in permit comments

• Turning space deficiencies in restrooms and other accessible spaces

• Protruding object violations that affect life safety

• Reach range and operable control placement issues

• Toilet compartment layout mistakes

• Accessible parking and van space deficiencies

Each topic explains the applicable accessibility requirement, identifies a common design error, and illustrates why these issues are frequently cited during plan review.

Why It Matters

Accessibility issues are far less expensive to correct during design than after construction begins.

A single coordination mistake can result in redesign, permit delays, change orders, or costly field modifications. As highlighted in this guide, even seemingly minor accessibility errors can become expensive once construction is underway.

Getting it right before permit submission saves:

• Time

• Money

• Schedule

• Client confidence
