Why Do I need a Generic Accessibility Sheet? |
|
I would like to get peoples opinion on the need for a generic accessibility sheet. I am becoming aware recently of the increase in construction documents where there is some form of a generic ADA or accessibility sheet. I became concerned when a building code official requested that I provide this sheet in my construction documents submitted to the local jurisdiction. I feel it is the responsibility of the architect/registered design professional in charge to know how to comply with the local building codes and all accessibility guidelines in the permit drawings submitted, not a generic sheet that no one will review or construct on site. Thoughts?

| What "Responsible Charge" Means to You |
|
Without looking it up in either your state's architecture or engineering laws and regulations, or in guidance from organizations like AIA and NSPE, what does “responsible charge” mean to you, relative to a design professional serving in “responsible charge” of architecture, engineering, or professional geology services?
