"Receiving a plan review disapproval can be frustrating" says one client. "But the worst part is that you find out so late in the process! No matter how careful you try to be, there always seem to be surprises."

After checking and re-checking your plans for compliance with the Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS), you dutifully submit them for approval. And then you wait, hoping the reviewer will find only minor issues that can easily be fixed. But sometimes, even simple oversights can be costly.

"Once plans have been bid and a contractor selected, last minute revisions for TAS compliance can result in change orders, delays, and a little embarrassment, too" according to one Houston architect. "But OCG's preliminary review service helps us identify noncomplying issues early in the process so our final reviews come back virtually problem-free! That makes us look good, and it keeps our clients happy!"

Preliminary Reviews Save Time, Money and Hassles...
Otten Consulting Group's Preliminary Review Service takes the mystery out of accessibility reviews. You can now receive unlimited preliminary plan reviews absolutely FREE at any point during the design process. No need to wait until your plans are complete or to send entire sets. Simply send relevant sheets and you'll know within a few days if you're on the right track.

Over the last decade, Otten Consulting Group has reviewed thousands of plans. Nothing is more frustrating for us than identifying costly violations and thinking, "If we had only seen these plans a month ago, we could have prevented a lot of grief!"

Think about it. Why wait until after you have issued plans to an owner to find out if there are noncomplying accessibility issues? Instead, take advantage of Otten Consulting Group's free Preliminary Review Service on all your projects. You'll be glad you did!
