Congratulations on your decision to renovate your commercial space! Whether it’s a retail store, office, or restaurant, a well-designed space can enhance its functionality and appeal. However, before you jump into the construction process, there are several regulations and requirements you need to comply with. In this blog post, we’ll provide you with a complete guide to commercial buildouts, including understanding ADA, TDLR, health inspections, and more. So, let’s dive in!

Understanding ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)

‍The ADA is a federal law that requires businesses and other organizations to make reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities. This includes ensuring that individuals with disabilities have access to all areas of your commercial space, including restrooms, parking lots, and entrances. As part of your commercial buildout process, you’ll need to ensure that you’re meeting all ADA requirements. This may involve installing wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and other modifications to your space. To avoid any legal issues, it’s important to work with a licensed contractor and ADA specialist during your buildout.
