Code, life safety & ADA

Renovations trigger code questions: means of egress, fire-resistance ratings, accessibility, and storm provisions. RK Architect, P.A. provides practical documentation and coordination so owners and contractors understand what must change—and what can remain.

Who this is for

Building owners, facility managers, and contractors preparing permit submittals where building code compliance, life safety plans, or ADA accessibility review topics need an architect’s seal and judgment.

Process

  • Scope and jurisdiction confirmation; applicable code edition discussion.
  • Field verification or drawing-based analysis of impacted assemblies.
  • Code summary with clear options and recommended path.
  • Sheets and details integrated with the larger permit set.

Typical deliverables

  • Life safety and egress diagrams where required
  • Accessible route and restroom layouts coordinated with applicable standards
  • Narratives for AHJ review when helpful to streamline questions
  • Revision support through plan review cycles

Timeline expectations

Code-focused packages track the design schedule. Early code alignment reduces late redesign; allow time for AHJ comments typical to your municipality.
