Got Codes? Practical FHA-ADA-Accessibility Code Compliance
This is session 1 of the AIA Seattle: Got codes? Seminars.
AIA Seattle's Code Committee has worked with experts to plan four half-day programs, covering topics including accessibility, assembly occupancies, the nuts and bolts of residential codes, and more!
Apartment construction is booming. The various standards for accessibility compliance are necessary for design professionals to understand in detail, but can be somewhat complicated and confusing. This seminar focuses on clarifying application of the various standards (FHA, ADA, UFAS, IBC / ANSI) to Multi-Unit Housing compliance. It includes details of the “Dirty Dozen” most common issues in multi-unit housing accessibility compliance. Endelman & Associates (E&A) will address how to solve some of the most common issues in design and in the field, using photos and on the fly sketches. The application of 2010 ADA Standards is limited in multi-unit housing. We will discuss some scoping areas that may impact your projects. E&A will help provide you a good risk management perspective, and ways to minimize risk.
Early Bird Deadline: Friday, May 11, 2018. After this time, the price increases 15%.
