PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY / TOOLBOX

From a measurement
to a better visit.

Plan a route, check a doorway, work out parking provision or take a worksheet on site. Start with one question, keep the reference visible and carry the result into your next decision.

Start here if: you are collecting measurements for the first time.

MAKE THE RESULTS USEFUL

One visit. Three useful habits.

  1. Define the route

    Name the arrival point and destination. Agree the reference and scope before choosing dimensions. Invite the people who will use the place.

  2. Measure the actual space

    Record where and how you measured. Include furniture, opening hours, weather and other conditions that affect the visit.

  3. Carry the evidence forward

    Download or print a planner result. Add the location and next action to the worksheet, then check the complete route with the responsible team.

Keep the reference with the result

Each planner shows its scope and sources. ADA and ISO are separate references; the applicable local requirements still need to be established. These tools support selected calculations and observations. They do not certify a building or replace a complete design review.
