CASp Consulting Pricing and Fees
How Much Does a CASp Inspection Cost
The cost of a CASp inspection depends on the scope of service. A small retail facility without parking or restrooms is very limited compared to a large lodging facility with many areas and elements within the scope of inspection. The cost of a CASp Report & Certificate for a small to medium size commercial facility typically cost between $650 - $2,000. Learn more about the CASp Inspection process.
Other Consulting Services
Proactive Access provides more accessibility related services than just CASp inspections. Our firm is experienced with performing ADA Compliance Inspections and plan review services for projects that are in the design phase. Plan review is a great opportunity to identify areas of improvement before construction has been started. It is much easier and cost effective to make a revision to architectural drawings rather than making changes to elements that are already constructed. For this reason, accessible plan review is highly recommended during the planning stage of construction. We also routinely perform Path of Travel surveys and due diligence reports for new purchases and leases.
The fees associated with each service are dependent of the scope of work. When you contact our staff, we will ask for all of the relevant information needed to provide you with a clear and accurate quote.

Service Plans
ADA Compliance Plan
Our ADA Compliance Package is great for client who are interested having there facility evaluated under the ADA Standards only. Clients with a national presence prefer this plan because it can be performed in the same manner from state to state.
This plan is great for nationwide projects but not businesses based only in California. The state of California requires a higher level of accessibility than the federal government. California based businesses should consider our CASp Inspection Package.
CASp Inspection Plan
Our CASp Inspection package is by far our most popular service. A Certified Access Specialist will perform an onsite evaluation to compare the existing condition of the built environment to the ADAS as well as the California Building Code.
Following the site survey, business owners are provided with a written report prepared in accordance with CRASCA and an official state certificate. CRASCA reports are only available for California facilities and they offer legal benefits that serve as a deterrent against high frequency plaintiffs.
Limited Scope Plan
Our limited accessibility surveys are for clients that have specific elements that they wish to be evaluated by a Certified Access Specialist. We most often perform limited scope surveys for clients that have recently been served with a lawsuit. The limited nature of the inspection allows us to evaluate only the allegations made and compare them to the applicable state and federal accessibility standard.
Unless you are only interested in evaluating allegations, businesses should consider our CASp Inspection Package.
How to choose a Certified Access Specialist?
First understand that the quality of a CASp Inspection Report is not well regulated by the Division of the State Architect. When hiring a Certified Access Specialist (CASp), you should expect to receive a detailed CASp report including: code citations, as built dimensions, photographs, diagrams and a straightforward recommendation for remediation of each finding. Unfortunately, we have seen competitor reports that are completed in excel and nearly impossible to interpret. The easiest way to determine if you are working with a quality CASp inspector is to ask for references, sample reports and proof of insurance. You should also look to your estimates and contracts to evaluate the quality of their work. If you are presented with a simple word document or quickbooks estimate with a poorly defined scope of work, the report will likely yield the same quality.
