Why ADA Architectural Compliance Matters

ADA Standards for Accessible Design compliance for architectural drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching ADA architectural issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
