Accessibility plan review

A review of design documents against the accessibility criteria included in an agreed scope. It identifies coordination issues and potential barriers before they are built.

Why it matters

Different requirements can apply based on building use, funding, jurisdiction, and project type. The review should identify its governing criteria and document limitations. It does not replace design responsibility, agency approval, or verification of constructed conditions.

In practice

A project example

Door clearances, room layouts, and accessible routes are reviewed together so a correction to one element does not create a conflict elsewhere.
