The service

What ada & casp accessibility audit is, what a visit covers and where the line is.

The short answer

An accessibility audit is a site survey by a qualified specialist who measures a building or space against the accessibility standards that apply to it. ADA & CASp Accessibility Audit in San Jose is booked through pros who cover its 35 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, and Cambrian Park. San Jose's dry summers are ideal for exterior painting and deck work — the fall calendar fills fast, so book early. The work to fix barriers is separate, and each pro sets what they provide.

What a ada & casp accessibility audit visit includes

What is included depends on the jobs you pick and on how each pro sets up their visit and timing. You see the exact scope with each pro's price before you book.

  • Review of the property use and any prior reports
  • Site survey of parking, entrances, restrooms and paths of travel
  • Measurements of doors, ramps, counters and signage
  • Photos and documentation of each barrier
  • Prioritized remediation plan
  • Written report suitable for legal and permit use

What shapes a ada & casp accessibility audit job

These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.

Property size and number of spaces
A single shop is a smaller survey than a multi-tenant building or a site with several entrances and restrooms.
Which standards apply
The use, construction date and any recent alterations decide the standards a specialist measures against.
Interior and exterior routes
Parking, sidewalks, curb ramps, entrances and interior routes each need measuring.
Condition on the survey day
Snow, standing water, construction or temporary displays can hide or block barriers.
Existing documentation
Floor plans, earlier surveys, permits and correspondence about accessibility show what has been reviewed or changed, and help the specialist avoid repeating work.
Where in San Jose the job is
No two San Jose districts age the same way. Older homes in Willow Glen and the Rose Garden hide knob-and-tube wiring and original plaster; North San Jose new-builds need warranty punch-list work; Almaden and Cambrian ranches are hitting the age where decks, fences, and fixtures all need attention at once. Tell the pro your neighborhood or ZIP code so they know the age and style of the home.

What you receive

An accessibility audit normally produces a written report with measurements and photos of each barrier. Each pro sets what they provide, including the report format and any prioritization of corrections.

  • A written report of the areas surveyed, the standards used and the findings
  • Measurements and photos documenting each barrier or feature the specialist surveyed
  • A prioritized list of corrections, with the most significant items first
  • Notes on options when a correction may be difficult to make
  • Areas not surveyed or not accessible and the reason
  • The specialist’s credential details so the report can be shown to others

What is not part of ada & casp accessibility audit

Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.

  • Carrying out the corrections: ramps, restroom changes, door work, striping and signage are separate services.
  • Legal advice, responding to demand letters or lawsuits, or any guarantee of compliance or protection from claims.
  • Any job where labor and materials together reach $1,000. Work reaching that amount is done by a licensed contractor, as NorTech flags beforehand.
  • Architectural drawings, engineering or permit applications, unless the pro offers them and you agree in advance.
  • Website or digital accessibility audits.
  • Areas that are locked, unsafe or unavailable on the day of the survey.

License and permits for ada & casp accessibility audit

Who does it

Where a program certifies accessibility specialists, pros who take these jobs hold the credential that applies where the work is done. Any construction that follows, such as ramps, restroom changes and structural work, is licensed-trade work done by contractors who hold the license.

Permits

A survey needs no permit. Corrections such as ramps, widened doors, restroom remodels and parking changes commonly need permits and inspections, and the rules depend on the local building office. Your contractor can explain what applies.

Check your pro

Check the credentials on the pro profile and ask for the certification number to appear on the report. If you need a report for a permit, lender, court or lease, ask the pro whether it meets that use before you book.

Before you book ada & casp accessibility audit

Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.

0/7
Let’s get you readyTap a card when you have done it.

Gather plans and past reports

Find floor plans, earlier surveys, permits and any correspondence about accessibility. They show what has already been reviewed and changed.

Know your lease and responsibilities

Check which areas you control and which the landlord or association does. Tell the specialist so the report separates items you can fix from items to raise with others.

Open every area for the visit

Make sure the specialist can reach restrooms, back-of-house areas, storage, stairs and any locked rooms. Unsurveyed areas leave gaps in the report.

Photograph known problem spots

Take pictures of steps, worn paving, ramps, door thresholds and restrooms you are concerned about. They help the specialist plan the survey.

Share any complaint or letter

If you received a complaint or letter, give it to the specialist so the survey covers the named items. The audit is a factual record and not a legal response.

Plan repairs after the report

Keep the report so you can brief contractors and phase work in order. Ask for quotes from several pros for the same list so you can compare them.

Say where in San Jose you are

Add your neighborhood, for example Willow Glen, Almaden Valley, and Cambrian Park, or your ZIP code to your notes. Pros choose the neighborhoods they cover, and it tells them how far they have to travel.

How where you live changes ada & casp accessibility audit

Add your ZIP in the booking card at the top to see weather alerts and the season for your area.

The kind of property decides which standards apply

Public places, workplaces, rental housing and nonprofit spaces are not all covered by the same standards, and what applies often depends on how the building is used and when it was built or altered. Remodels can change which requirements apply. Tell the specialist the use, the construction date and any recent work so the survey measures against the right set of requirements.

Fill in the blanks first. The note goes to the pro you choose.
