Frequently Asked Questions

What AODA requirements apply to my commercial building?

Requirements depend on building age, size, and use. Key requirements include accessible entrances, path-of-travel, washrooms, and signage. When renovations exceed certain thresholds, upgraded accessibility is triggered. We can assess your building and identify specific compliance requirements.

Do accessibility upgrades require building permits?

Some do. Ramp construction, washroom renovations, and structural modifications typically require permits. Automatic door operators and signage upgrades usually do not. We determine permit requirements during our assessment and manage the process.

Can accessibility upgrades be phased over time?

Yes. We help property managers create phased accessibility improvement plans that prioritize high-impact items and spread costs over time. Common phasing: Phase 1 - entrance and main floor, Phase 2 - washrooms, Phase 3 - upper floors and specialty areas.
