Overview
Revised and updated to recent ADA guidelines changes, this second edition features more than 70 of the most commonly needed modifications for ADA compliance – and what they cost. The ADA requirements, cost estimates, illustrations and reference numbers have all been updated. Each of the more than 70 project estimates contains specific dimensions and materials mandated by the ADA, with estimated material quantities, labor hours, total contractor charges, and alternative designs to meet budget limitations.
Easy-to-use location factors for over 900 cities and towns give you accurate costs for your specific area, and an additional 3,000 unit prices let you modify an estimate for your unique site conditions. Projects include: installing ramps and walkways, widening doorways, installing/re-fitting elevators, relocating light switches, signage, remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, and many more, including auditoriums, public transportation, and recreational facilities.
Also included in the text is additional guidance on:
- How the ADA guidelines apply to new construction and remodeling projects
- Who’s responsible, and how to make any public accommodation accessible
- How to reduce future maintenance, and avoid & “failure to comply” citations
Means ADA Compliance Pricing Guide helps facility managers, owners, architects, engineers, contractors, interior designers and building users answer the complicated questions of what’s required, when, and how to make sure you comply.
