When incorporated into new construction, ADA compliance typically adds 1-3% to total project costs. Retrofitting existing spaces costs more—typically $5,000-$25,000+ depending on the scope of modifications needed. It’s always more cost-effective to build compliant from the start.

Not necessarily. The ADA requires that services be accessible, which typically means at least one treatment room must be fully accessible. However, we recommend making multiple operatories accessible when possible—it’s good practice and provides scheduling flexibility for patients with mobility needs.

Yes. We provide complete documentation of ADA compliance measures including as-built drawings showing accessible routes, clearances, and features. This documentation is valuable for your records and can be essential if compliance is ever questioned.

We can perform a compliance audit of your existing space to identify gaps and prioritize modifications. Existing facilities must remove barriers when “readily achievable”—meaning easily accomplishable without significant difficulty or expense. We help you prioritize modifications that address the most critical accessibility needs first.
