Accessibility Consulting

Approach

With buildings, both new and existing, being subject to a variety of accessibility requirements, the Safranek Group provides expert accessibility consulting to clients regarding compliance with accessibility provisions. These provisions include ones enforced by municipalities and states as part of their adopted building code. The most common of these building codes are the International Building Code (IBC) and the California Building Code (CBC). In addition to the accessibility requirements found in building codes, often there are additional Federal Statutes for accessibility, such as the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

For these Federal Statues and any other accessibility requirements, the Safranek Group specializes in assisting clients with determining how to best comply with the applicable regulations. For accessibility consulting, we act as a neutral entity. In this role, we work closely with clients to assist them by seeking compliance with regulatory obligations while also utilizing a risk management approach. This risk management approach provides clients with information, based upon our knowledge of specific, critical, accessibility issues. These distinct issues are ones that commonly appear in accessibility complaints, particularly FHA and ADA complaints. The Safranek Group augments its awareness of these items by using a custom database. It contains information derived from  publicly available consent decrees between the United States Department of Justice and plaintiffs. With insight from these sources, we offer clients the opportunity to make informed decisions regarding their risk for issues related to accessibility compliance.
