Our Services

Paperless Project Management

We know construction is complicated, so we developed an automated system to guide projects through the accessibility review process. You'll never have to download or fill out a PDF. All of the required documents are generated instantly and sent to the proper recipients for digital signature.

Plan Review

ADC offers all services accociated with the Texas Accessibility Standards and the Texas Architectural Barriers Act. We take care of everything: project registration, plan review, and final inspection.

Inspection

Early consultations help avoid costly design changes. We're happy to meet and discuss your project at any point in the design process to ensure that it complies with all applicable standards.

Home Design

Designing an accessible residence is a challenge because every disability is unique. We offer consultations to help you design a home or rennovation that meets your specific needs.

Public Speaking

ADC founder Spencer Cook is an experienced public speaker, addressing accessibility and living with a disability at conferences across the country. Contact us for more information about continuing education and booking.

“As a lifelong wheelchair user with over 15 years of architectural experience, I’m able to spot potential barriers and find compliant solutions quickly. I founded ADC to help designers and building owners ensure that their projects are compliant without diminishing their initial vision.”
