After a CASp Inspection: Your Complete Compliance Timeline
11.06.2025
Many owners stop at the report—yet the true value begins after inspection. This guide walks you through interpreting results, planning corrections, coordinating work, and scheduling follow-up reviews so your business maintains compliance over time.
Start with the basics: review the findings list, code references, photos, and field measurements. Note high-risk items (e.g., parking slopes, curb ramps, entrances, restroom clearances) and any elements flagged as noncompliant. Confirm site specifics—dimensions, approaches, and signage—so each corrective action is clear and buildable.
Organize an issues log that mirrors the report, capturing condition, required correction, and target timeline for each item.
Sequence work for maximum impact: address high-exposure and safety-critical items first, then phase additional improvements as readily achievable. Build a budget that reflects both near-term fixes (e.g., restriping, signage, threshold transitions, grab bar placement) and larger projects (e.g., ramp and landing adjustments, restroom reconfiguration) as needed.
Phasing aligns improvements with operations, reduces downtime, and helps avoid change orders.
Translate report items into clear scopes of work. Provide contractors with the relevant measurements and required tolerances (slopes, clear widths, landing sizes, reach ranges). During construction, verify conditions in the field and document as-built results with photos and dimensions tied to each item in your log.
When permitting is required, coordinate submittals early to keep schedules on track.
After corrections, schedule a follow-up review to confirm items are closed. Periodic re-inspections help catch wear-and-tear—settled paving, faded striping, shifted fixtures—before they trigger new complaints. Maintain organized records of completed work, dates, and measurements to demonstrate good-faith efforts.
