due diligence

Whether you are buying, selling, leasing, renovating, refinancing, or managing a property, accessibility issues can affect cost, timing, negotiations, and legal exposure.

ADA Compliance Specialists,Inc. provides due diligence inspections and consulting to help clients identify accessibility barriers, understand potential obligations, and make informed decisions before a transaction or project moves forward.

WHEN DUE DILIGENCE MATTERS

Accessibility due diligence is especially important when a property is being acquired, sold, leased, renovated, refinanced, or evaluated for future use.

An inspection can help identify conditions that may affect project scope, budgeting, negotiations, lease responsibilities, or planned improvements. Early review gives owners, buyers, tenants, lenders, attorneys, and design teams a clearer understanding of potential accessibility concerns before commitments are finalized.

WHAT OUR REVIEW MAY INCLUDE

A due diligence review may include an evaluation of accessible parking, routes, entrances, doors, restrooms, guest rooms, service counters, common areas, signage, and other features relevant to the property and scope of work.

Findings can be documented through written reports, photographs, measurements, observations, and practical recommendations to help clients prioritize next steps.

MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS EARLY

Accessibility concerns are easier to address when they are identified before contracts are signed, construction begins, or disputes arise.
