Plan Reviews

As a Registered Accessibility Specialist (RAS) with the Texas Department of License and Regulation (TDLR) Architectural Barriers Program we provide the required plan reviews to ensure compliance with requirements of the Texas Accessibility Standards. We provide a written report that will provide the disposition of the construction documents provided.

At RDC we have the resources, skills, and certifications required to be your preferred registered accessibility specialists in the state of Texas.  Special emphasis is placed upon the plan review process through early involvement.  By being a part of the accessibility team in the early planning stages we can be a consultative resource making the remainder of the inspection and review process go more smoothly.  The preliminary involvement with the project causes the final review to be more of a formality. We provide clear and informative reports tailored specifically to the scope of each project. The plan review is the single most important element of ensuring a compliant post construction site inspection. Recent changes from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Architectural Barriers Program refined the roles in the process. As a service to the clients, most design professionals traditionally began the process to align with the requirements of their professional licenses. The responsibility of the plan review submittal now relies solely on the building owner or a designated agent assigned by the building owner.  If a Designated agent is assigned by the building owner, an “Owner Designation Form” must be completed for each project.  The design professional has a separate form for submittal to meet with their licensing requirements. Any and all of the documentation of the plan review process will be addressed to the owner or designated agent and copied to the design professional.
