ACCESSIBILITY

Navigate and interact with the space comfortably and safely

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations (TDLR) requires new construction, additions and renovations to adhere to the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS).  Projects with a construction cost of 50,000 and over are required to be registered through the TDLR Architectural Barriers System (TABS). A plan review of the construction documents and an inspection of the facility must be completed by a Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS). Projects under 50,000 are not required to be registered but are still required to be compliant with TAS.

Accessibility Services include:

  • Project Registration

  • Plan Review

  • Inspections during and after construction

  • Accessible Design
