From the Foreword
This book was conceived and written to help professionals and nonprofessionals recognize architectural barriers to persons with disabilities. Its aim is to offer solutions to barrier removal and barrier-free design considerations.
As a reference book, it states in a clear concise form, using a step-by-step format, exact requirements to help with compliance with the ADA.
Architects, real estate persons, insurance adjusters, interior design professionals, and property owners should find its easy-to-use format useful.
Building contractors can use it as an aid to estimating the costs of projects, and its thoroughness will save much confusion.
Service groups can use it as a source to help in the dissemination of information.
Every attempt has been made to be as thorough, complete and accurate as possible.
However, from the Federal, State, City and County levels of government, changes in codes can occur at any time.
Check with your local building official for compliance.
