Accessibility

KOW guidance on accessibility requirements, coordinated plan review, construction observations, technical assistance, issue tracking, and closeout.

Why this topic matters

Technical context for a better-informed decision.

Accessible design and construction depend on a project-specific review basis and coordinated information across the site, architecture, interiors, structure, building systems, equipment, and products. Requirements can change with location, use, alteration or new-construction scope, public or private operation, housing type, funding, and program participation.

KOW’s accessibility coverage explains how to carry that review basis through drawings, written responses, submittals, construction milestones, correction, and closeout. The articles are educational; the applicable requirements, responsible parties, inspections, and acceptance process must be confirmed for the actual project.
