The Architectural Barriers sector of the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation requires that for building endeavors priced at $50,000 or above, a comprehensive array of construction blueprints must be handed over for evaluation and examination, following the Texas Government Code, Chapter 469. For understanding whether a facility falls under the Architectural Barriers Act, refer to Administrative Rule 68.20.
Our construction examiners at ACI Consulting Architects hold licenses issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation to carry out TAS examinations on behalf of the State. In compliance with Administrative Rule 68.52 section a, the examination should be conducted within the first year following the conclusion of the construction.
ACI Consulting Architects' seasoned plan assessors conduct TAS blueprint evaluations in Austin and across Texas. Architects, design experts, or proprietors must present their project blueprints for assessment within a 20-day window from the project commencement. Please get in touch with us for details on our charges and appointment scheduling.
We offer assistance to building proprietors with corrective design solutions, suggestions, and in establishing priorities for building projects that we have undertaken either parallel to local blueprint reviews or examinations. Reviews of standard diagrams or specifics unrelated to a construction project can be carried out on a negotiated basis.
