What Is This Service?

ADA & Life-Safety Plans, explained clearly

Accessibility and life-safety plans illustrate applicable features such as accessible paths, clearances, exits, travel distances and occupant-related requirements. ADA obligations and adopted building and fire codes are distinct and may both be relevant.

Who Is This Service For?

  • Commercial tenants modifying layout or restrooms
  • Owners receiving accessibility or egress plan-review comments
  • Contractors changing entrances, circulation or occupancy layouts

Common Project Challenges

Common Problems We Help Solve

01

The reviewer cannot locate the required accessible route.

02

Restroom clearances or door approach spaces are not shown.

03

Exit paths, occupant assumptions or door swings conflict with the proposed layout.

Included Scope

What Can Be Included?

The exact scope is tailored to your project and confirmed in your written quotation. Depending on the requirements, the work may include:

  • Accessible route, entrance and circulation layouts as applicable
  • Door and restroom clearances and key dimensions
  • Egress diagrams, exit widths and travel paths as required
  • Occupancy/occupant-load information when included
  • Relevant accessibility and life-safety notes/details
  • Coordination with architectural and site plans

Permit Review Context

What matters when scoping ADA & Life-Safety Plans

Accessibility and life-safety drawings help reviewers understand how people enter, move through and exit a space. The applicable requirements depend on occupancy, use, existing conditions and the adopted code, so these plans should be coordinated with the architectural and commercial permit set.

We use these topics to frame the drawing scope, but the final submittal requirements are set by the city, county or other reviewing authority for the project address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About ADA & Life-Safety Plans

Does a drawing guarantee ADA compliance?

No. Compliance depends on actual constructed conditions, applicable legal requirements and factual site information.

Can you review an existing restroom?

We can assess drawings and dimensions within an agreed scope; field verification may be necessary.

Does a life-safety plan cover fire sprinkler design?

Not automatically. Fire protection systems are a separate specialist scope where required.

What if the proposed occupancy is unknown?

It must be evaluated from the intended use and applicable code definitions before definitive egress conclusions are made.

How do I know exactly which drawings my permit office requires?

Send the property address and a short description of the proposed work. We use the jurisdiction and project type to define the likely drawing scope before drafting begins. Final submittal requirements remain subject to the reviewing authority.

Can I send an existing survey, sketch, photos or permit comments?

Yes. Existing surveys, recorded plats, sketches, photos, prior plans and correction comments can all help establish the drawing scope and reduce avoidable assumptions.

Do you work with projects nationwide?

Yes. Make A Site Plan supports projects across the United States. Because permit procedures vary by city and county, we check the project location before finalizing the scope.

Can you guarantee that the permit will be approved without comments?

No. Approval is controlled by the reviewing jurisdiction. Our process is designed to make the drawings clear, coordinated and responsive to the known submittal requirements, and we support in-scope permit comments when they occur.
