ADA Site Evaluation with Third-Party CASp Inspectors
ADA compliance begins long before construction starts. A structured site evaluation performed with experienced Third-Party CASp Inspectors forms the technical foundation of every successful accessibility project. Protrk® Construction coordinates comprehensive Third-Party CASp Inspections throughout California to help identify compliance gaps, measurable slope deficiencies, Title 24 violations, and potential litigation exposure before design or permitting begins.
Our process integrates on-site field inspection, precision measurement analysis, documentation review, and structured compliance planning. By identifying both visible and concealed accessibility barriers early through qualified Third-Party CASp Inspections, property owners can avoid incomplete corrections, repeated violations, permit revisions, and unnecessary legal risk. A properly executed site evaluation helps ensure the entire scope is built on verified data — not assumptions.
1 On-Site Accessibility Inspection & Code Analysis
Every ADA Site Evaluation coordinated by Protrk® begins with a detailed on-site property review, with qualified third-party CASp inspectors involved when needed. We assess accessible routes, parking stall configuration and striping, sidewalk slopes and cross-slopes, curb ramps, detectable warnings, entrance thresholds, door maneuvering clearances, hardware compliance, handrails, guardrails, signage placement, and complete path-of-travel requirements.
- Accessible parking layout and dimensions
- Slope and cross-slope measurements
- Curb ramp configuration and detectable warnings
- Door hardware and clearance compliance
- Signage placement and mounting height
All measurable elements are reviewed against current federal ADA standards and California Building Code Title 24 requirements, with third-party CASp input incorporated where appropriate. Even minor deviations — sometimes as small as 1/16 inch per foot — can affect compliance status. Our documentation process helps ensure no barrier is overlooked, misclassified, or underestimated in scope.
This precision-based evaluation establishes a strong foundation for CASp reporting, design, permitting, and construction planning.
2 CASp Coordination, Barrier Identification & Legal Risk Review
When appropriate, Protrk® coordinates third-party Certified Access Specialist (CASp) inspections as part of the evaluation process. A CASp provides formal documentation of identified barriers and may offer statutory protections when corrective actions are properly implemented under California law.
- Code-referenced barrier classification
- Severity and construction impact analysis
- Permit pathway identification
- Safe harbor applicability review
- Public accommodation classification assessment
Beyond surface-level review, the evaluation process includes structured barrier prioritization based on risk, visibility, and operational impact. ADA compliance is not simply a construction concern — it is also a liability issue. A complete evaluation helps owners respond strategically rather than reactively.
3 Remediation Planning Framework & Transition to Design-Build
Following inspection and analysis, Protrk® Construction develops a structured remediation planning framework outlining required scope, concrete corrections, grading modifications, access element upgrades, parking lot adjustments, and permit sequencing.
- Defined corrective scope of work
- Grading and slope correction strategy
- Access element upgrade roadmap
- Permit coordination planning
- Integrated transition to ADA Design-Build
By aligning evaluation findings with the broader construction strategy, we help reduce communication gaps between third-party CASp inspectors, design teams, engineers, and contractors. This coordinated approach helps reduce scope expansion, support permit approval, and keep construction aligned with ADA and Title 24 requirements.
The result is a streamlined path from evaluation to implementation — protecting your investment while minimizing disruption and legal exposure.
