CASp Surveys

BV knows the benefits of a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) through the Division of the State Architect (DSA) to inspect buildings and sites for compliance. We can help.

The term “CASp” stands for Certified Access Specialist. A CASp is an expert in the field of construction-related accessibility. Certified Access Specialists are certified by the California Division of State Architect and qualified to inspect constructed facilities and issue certificates of inspection. The CASp program was created by California Senate Bill 1608 that was designed to address a growing number of "shakedown lawsuits" that is costing California businesses tens of thousands of dollars in settlement and legal fees. The law protects proactive property owner and businesses from "shakedown lawsuits" by granting "Qualified Defendant" status to facilities that have been CASp inspected. Our experienced Certified Access Specialists perform property inspections and educate property owners about accessibility compliance on a daily basis. Our CASp inspectors also perform architectural plan reviews and due diligence surveys.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A CASp INSPECTION?

  • A site survey by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp)

  • A detailed report listing any accessibility findings

  • Pictures of all accessibility findings

  • Advise on how to correct the findings

  • A numbered CASp Certificate issued by the California Division of State Architects

  • Legal benefits as described in SB 1608 and 1186.

  • And of course, an experienced professional to walk you through the results of your inspection and answer any questions that you may have.
