ADA Standards for Accessible Design in Construction

Creating spaces that are safe and accessible for individuals with disabilities is not just about compliance; it’s about fostering inclusivity and equal opportunity for everyone. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) lays out clear guidelines to ensure that new constructions, including places of public accommodation and office buildings, are accessible to people with disabilities.

These ADA standards detail the requirements for physical accessibility in buildings and facilities.

At Concrete Solutions LLC, we specialize in providing construction services that meet ADA-specific standards. We ensure that all areas of a facility, including public and common-use spaces, are accessible in new constructions, with only specific exemptions or partial compliance provisions for certain areas. This includes spaces such as patient exam rooms, classrooms, and courtrooms. Although employee work areas are not required to be fully accessible, they must allow for “approach, entry, and exit” with the following minimum provisions:

• An accessible route to the work area.
• A compliant entrance, including any entry door or gate.
• A wheelchair space of at least 30 inches by 48 inches within the work area.

We are highly experienced in constructing and retrofitting various areas to meet construction ADA guidelines. We focus on creating sidewalks, walkways, and other critical areas using materials that are slip-resistant and durable, ensuring both safety and accessibility. We take pride in our attention to detail and our commitment to using the best materials and practices to meet ADA standards.

We believe that the success of any construction project lies in strong client relationships. Our construction services in Pennsylvania take a collaborative approach, working closely with our clients to understand their goals and requirements.
