ADA Transition Plans & Consulting
A clear, living roadmap from your current level of compliance to what’s required — built from your Self-Evaluation Report and easy for anyone on your team to read and act on.
The Transition Plan Spreadsheet
A Living Document, Not a Static Report
The Transition Plan Spreadsheet (TPS) is a combination of all items identified in the Self-Evaluation Report (SER) as non-compliant and includes potential solutions, as well as additional details. It is a cloud-based document that can include updates that the SER may not have and includes changes requested by each individual client. It is a separate live link that can remain live and/or be downloaded into Excel.
Fully Customizable
What the Living Document Includes
Every Transition Plan Spreadsheet is tailored to your organization’s needs, and can include:
Element Issue
Survey Question
Findings
Potential Solution(s)
ADA and/or Applicable Building Code(s)
Rating and Ranking
If an Asset or Maintenance is Needed
Estimated Costs
Actual Costs
Responsible Party
Findings Picture (if preferred)
Budget for completion, then final costs
Responsible party making modifications
Miscellaneous items requested by the client
After Picture
Current Status to Track Progress
Every effort is made to keep the SER and TPS as accurate as possible — each is a snapshot of conditions examined at the time of the self-evaluation, referenced against the 1991 and/or 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
How Items Are Scored
Complexity Rating & Priority Ranking
Every finding gets two scores — how complex the fix is, and how urgently it needs attention.
Putting It Together
Complexity & Priority in Practice
Every finding gets a combined score, like 4A or 3C. Here’s what that looks like in the field.
4A — Door hardware needing replacement from a knob to a handle. Not a complex fix (4), but a high priority (A), since lack of access into a room is urgent.
3C — A mirror that needs to be relocated to 40″ from the floor. This may or may not be complex depending on how it’s mounted (3), but isn’t high priority, since a mirror that’s too high doesn’t block access to a sink or toilet.
Parking Lot Examples
- 4: Install or raise compliant parking lot signage (Priority B or C, depending on how low)
- 3: Restripe a lot to ensure compliant space and access aisle widths (Priority A or B, depending on the existing space)
- 2: Resurface a lot to correct slope and drainage issues affecting access (Priority A or B, depending on the slope)
Restroom Examples
- 4: An ADA stall needing compliant handles on both sides of the door (Priority A)
- 3: An ADA stall with less than 32″ of entryway clearance, requiring a wider opening and door (Priority A or B, depending on current width)
- 2: An ADA toilet positioned too close to the wall, requiring plumbing to be moved (Priority A or B, depending on the distance)
Self-Evaluation Reports are delivered electronically and can be viewed in an HTML format that includes enlargeable photos and video of findings, or provided as a PDF.
