The ADA Cost Catalog for Access Modifications
"What changes do I have to make?" "How much will it cost me?" Both of these questions and more are answered by the ADA Cost Catalog, a guide to typical ADA compliance modifications. After surveying your facility to identify barriers to access, you'll be able to plan your budget with the cost estimates provided, as well as schedule and prioritize remodeling projects. The ADA Cost Catalog contains 53 projects which illustrate design solutions to common access barriers in existing buildings and facilities. Each project lists the ADA requirements for that particular access modification and has design suggestions, drawings, and detailed cost estimates for its construction. The ADA Cost Catalog will prove itself invaluable to any organization that needs to make its facilities accessible.
