Our Southern California CASp Inspection Process

Proactive Access follows a straightforward process designed to help property owners understand their facility's accessibility conditions and determine appropriate next steps.

1. Property & Scope Review
We begin by gathering information about your property, including the facility type, size, location, age, and the scope of the requested evaluation. This allows us to prepare an appropriate proposal for the inspection.

2. On-Site Accessibility Evaluation
A Certified Access Specialist evaluates applicable areas of the property and documents accessibility conditions involving features such as parking, accessible routes, entrances, doors, customer-use areas, service counters, restrooms, signage, and other elements within the inspection scope.

3. Accessibility Report
Following the evaluation, Proactive Access prepares a detailed report documenting identified accessibility barriers, relevant observations, and recommendations for corrective action.

4. Review & Prioritization
The report can be used to help property owners understand the findings, prioritize accessibility improvements, and plan corrective work based on the conditions identified at the facility.

5. Follow-Up Assistance
When needed, Proactive Access can provide additional accessibility consulting, plan review, or follow-up evaluation as improvements are planned or completed.

When a Regional CASp Inspection Strategy Makes Sense

For property owners and organizations managing multiple locations across Southern California, accessibility evaluations can become difficult to coordinate when each property is treated independently.

A regional CASp inspection strategy can be particularly useful when properties share similar building types, operational requirements, design standards, or centralized facilities management. Using a consistent evaluation and reporting approach across multiple locations makes it easier to compare findings and plan accessibility improvements across a portfolio.

Consistency Across Multiple Properties

Applying the same evaluation methodology and documentation approach across multiple facilities can help owners, facility managers, and design professionals compare accessibility conditions from one property to another.

This consistency can make it easier to identify recurring issues, establish priorities, and coordinate corrective work across multiple locations.

Supporting Portfolio-Wide Planning

Accessibility conditions often vary between properties because of differences in building age, previous alterations, site configuration, and facility use.

Evaluating multiple properties through a coordinated program can help organizations identify common accessibility issues and develop more consistent approaches to future improvements, renovations, and facility standards.

Consistent Documentation

Standardized reporting can be especially useful for organizations managing larger commercial portfolios or coordinating accessibility work through shared facilities, design, construction, or legal teams.

A consistent reporting format gives decision-makers a clearer way to review findings, track identified barriers, and prioritize accessibility improvements across multiple properties.

Commercial Properties We Evaluate Across Southern California

Southern California includes an enormous variety of commercial properties, and accessibility conditions can differ significantly based on a facility's age, use, site configuration, and history of alterations.

Proactive Access provides accessibility evaluations for:

  • Restaurants and food-service businesses

  • Hotels and lodging facilities

  • Retail stores and shopping centers

  • Professional and medical offices

  • Gas stations and convenience properties

  • Industrial and commercial facilities

  • Entertainment and public-facing properties

  • Multi-property commercial portfolios

Our evaluations are tailored to the individual property and requested scope rather than applying the same assumptions to every facility. For organizations managing multiple locations, we can also use a consistent evaluation and reporting approach across properties to make findings easier to compare and prioritize.

ADA & California Accessibility Requirements in Southern California

Commercial properties in Southern California may be subject to both federal accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and accessibility requirements established by California law and the California Building Code.

Although federal and California accessibility requirements address many of the same building features, the applicable standards are not identical. Property owners may need to consider requirements affecting accessible parking, routes of travel, entrances and doors, service counters, dining and customer-use areas, restrooms, signage, and other accessible features.

Existing buildings can be particularly complex because applicable requirements may depend on factors such as the property's construction history, previous alterations, tenant improvements, and the specific conditions being evaluated.

Proactive Access evaluates accessibility conditions using the standards applicable to the requested scope and provides documented findings and practical recommendations to help property owners understand identified accessibility issues.
