New ARCHIBUS White Paper:
6 Steps to Help Achieve Successful ADA Compliance

The newest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements encompass policy changes, updates to old standards, and new standards that affect both public and private entities. These standards apply to any new construction or renovation work going forward and covered by U.S. ADA provisions in such venues as: places of public gathering; lodging; places of exhibition/entertainment; service establishments; places of education; federal, state and local government facilities, etc.

For those who haven't met those requirements yet, our 6 Steps to Help Achieve Successful ADA Compliance white paper can help real estate and facilities managers in using ARCHIBUS to plan for, carry out, and report on ADA compliance. With a range of ARCHIBUS applications, you can:

  • Establish a baseline for compliance
  • Easily identify discrepancies between the existing infrastructure and the new, updated mandates
  • Cost-effectively choose areas for improvement

Download your copy of the white paper now.

Beyond ADA requirements, you can easily achieve compliance with regulatory mandates from other federal, state, and local agencies with the help of the new ARCHIBUS Compliance Management application. Read both and avoid unnecessary headaches and regulatory fines.
