Texas Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS)

Accessibility review

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) requires that any new project or alteration greater than $50,000.00 be registered with (TABS).  H&H ensures that public spaces are accessible to all individuals, regardless of their physical abilities. As a Registered Professional with TDLR, providing plan reviews for compliance with the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) is a crucial service that facilitates the creation of inclusive environments. The commitment to consistent and reliable reviews, with the added benefit of a quick turnaround time, demonstrates a dedication to efficiency and client service. Moreover, the electronic review process not only streamlines the submission and evaluation of plans but also reflects an environmentally conscious approach by reducing paper use. This comprehensive service underscores the importance of accessibility in building design while promoting sustainability and customer convenience.

H&H will inspect facilities ensuring that buildings are free of architectural barriers. HH's specializes in conducting comprehensive inspections across a wide range of facilities, including public rights of way, parking areas, and interiors, is a testament to our commitment to this cause. The inspection must occur prior to the first anniversary of the recorded project completion date. 

In Texas, the Elimination of Architectural Barriers law mandates that all buildings and facilities comply with the Texas Accessibility Standards. These standards are designed to ensure that people with disabilities have equal access and functionality within these spaces. It's important for facility owners to be aware of these regulations and to ensure their properties are inspected by qualified specialists to avoid potential non-compliance issues. Compliance not only supports the rights of individuals with disabilities but also reflects a broader commitment to social responsibility and community well-being.

As specialists in TAS compliance, the role involves meticulous inspection of commercial and residential projects to identify any areas that may not meet the required standards. This process includes a thorough review of the premises, considering factors such as entryway access, width of doorways, ramp gradients, elevator functionality, and the usability of facilities by individuals with disabilities. By addressing these challenges proactively, the aim is to ensure that every project not only adheres to the TAS but also promotes an environment where accessibility is a priority. Inspections are required once construction has been completed. 

  HH specializes in ADA permitting to minimize delays. We will work diligently on each project to ensure success and safety for all occupants.
