Survey Services

ADA Accessibility Surveys:

Several Levels of Accessibility Assessments are available:

A). The Orientation Tour– an abbreviated roll- or walk-through to point out obvious barriers to a program or service with a representative of the facility followed by a brief written summary. This type would utilize a brief checklist, i.e. the Existing Facilities Checklist. This level would not be considered a survey, but would be used as an assessment to initially determine if there are issues with a site, or as a preliminary step to a Basic, Full Detail, or Customized Survey. 

B). Basic Facility Survey – Usually a larger & more thorough survey utilizing a checklist specific to the facility type, like a Hotel Survey Checklist. This survey type would include a Summary and Report, usually including a narrative and pictures. 

C). Full Detail Facility Survey – Similar to the Basic, but with a greater level of reporting and documentation and utilizing an even more detailed assessment tool like a customized checklist. This type of survey will always provide a high level of documentation, to include photos and full narrative, with an accompanying Survey Summary containing the major issues noted in the assessment. For larger projects, a team approach is many times necessary to effectively carry out a facility assessment in a reasonable amount of time.
