Description:
Construction errors happen, and they are often the most expensive aspect of ADA compliance. Catching potential issues before they occur can save significant money—and prevent embarrassment for the entire project team. The earlier accessibility problems are identified, the easier and less costly they are to resolve. But what’s the key to preventing access failures?
Architects and engineers are required to complete continuing education in barrier-free design, yet contractors typically are not. Providing an accessibility training session for contractors before construction begins is an effective way to align the entire team and reduce the likelihood of noncompliant work. What should that training address? Let’s take a closer look.
