ADA ComplianceWell over a decade after the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted, property managers & owners, with buildings and facilities open to the public, continue to face challenges with ADA compliance. Contending with compliance issues is one of the most frustrating duties any facility manager faces. Yet, achieving ADA compliance can also be both personally and financially rewarding. A Hutch Paving representative can explain conditions that impact your business or building to persons with disabilities. Some examples are striping changes, concrete wheelchair ramps, signage, and detectable surfaces. The financial rewards: Come from tenants who are attracted to the property because of accessibility, and from customers who find the accommodations suitable. This word of mouth advertising can spread to other consumers with accessibility needs. The personal reward: Building Professionals are pleased when their disabled employees, building occupants or patrons, are no longer inconvenienced and can maneuver about parking lots with ease. They take comfort in knowing that signage and ramps were constructed properly and that they are compliant with ADA Regulations. |
