What is Accessibility Compliance?
Accessibility compliance ensures projects meet Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) under the Texas Architectural Barriers Act (TABA), confirming accessibility for individuals with disabilities. TABs compliance applies to these projects in Texas:
New Construction & Additions – $50,000+ in project value
Renovations & Alterations – $50,000+ in value, if changes impact accessibility features
Publicly Funded Projects – Regardless of cost, all must comply with Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS)
What stage of construction is identified?
TABs Accessibility Compliance occurs during the design and planning phase, before permits are issued and well before a general contractor is awarded. You can get in front of:
✔ Project Owners & Developers – Oversee funding and early hiring decisions.
✔ Architects & Design Firms – Ensure accessibility compliance in plans.
✔ Civil Engineers & Site Planners – Handle site layout and early approvals.
Tracking the Accessibility Compliance Stage helps you:
✅ Identify projects before GC selection – Engage early with developers, architects, and owners.
✅ Get ahead of bidding opportunities – Position yourself strategically before projects enter procurement.
✅ Spot high-value projects first – Focus on developments requiring accessibility compliance, often signalling larger-scale builds.
