The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal civil rights law that not only prohibits the discrimination of those with disabilities, but also sets forth standards for ensuring that methods of transportation, housing, and businesses are all accessible to those with disabilities. As such, if you are constructing a new housing project, remodeling a business, or are a person with a disability who is building or remodeling a house, ensuring that construction meets ADA standards is important. At Doppler Construction, Inc., we have been managing projects focused on meeting ADA standards since our business was started more than a decade and a half ago. If you have a new construction project and need to prioritize ADA accessibility, we are your go-to team.
Public and common areas (of a business or other public space) must be accessible to those with disabilities;
All doors must be wide enough to allow persons with disabilities, specifically persons who require the use of a wheelchair, to pass;
All premises that are required to meet ADA requirements must have the following:
An accessible route through the unit;
All environmental controls (i.e. light switches) must be accessible;
Bathrooms must have grab bars; and
Bathrooms and kitchens should be maneuverable by those in a wheelchair.
These requirements may mean that wheelchair ramps, wide doors, or/and elevators are all a necessity for properties required to comply with ADA requirements.

FAQs About ADA Accessibility in Indiana
While both focus on safety and accessibility, “Aging in Place” is a broad concept for making a home comfortable for its residents as they grow older. An ADA remodel specifically follows the strict, legally defined standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is typically required for public and commercial spaces and provides an excellent framework for residential projects.
For a private residence, ADA standards are typically not a legal requirement. However, homeowners often choose to follow these guidelines because they represent a high standard of safety and accessibility, ensuring the space is usable for everyone, both now and in the future.
We work to transform kitchens into fully maneuverable spaces. This can include installing countertops at accessible heights, creating knee space under sinks, selecting easy-to-use appliances and faucets and ensuring a clear, wide path for wheelchair navigation.
Any room can be improved. We can create accessible routes through hallways, lower light switches and thermostats for easier reach in living spaces and design room additions that are fully navigable for individuals using wheelchairs or walkers.
With over 15 years of experience focused on ADA projects, our team is deeply knowledgeable about the specific requirements. We ensure every aspect of the construction, from door widths to grab bar placement, is executed with precision to meet or exceed all applicable standards.
