Overview

ICC A117.1-2017 Field Verification Manual is a practical, inspection-oriented guide to the Standard for Accessible and Usable Buildings, written for professionals who must verify compliance in the field-not just design it on paper. While ICC A117.1-2017 defines technical accessibility requirements, this manual addresses the verification gap between compliant construction documents and non-compliant field installations. It translates the standard into measurable, finish-condition criteria that reflect how accessibility is actually reviewed during inspections, plan review, and post-construction evaluations. This book is not a commentary on intent, history, or theory. It is a field-side companion focused on physical measurability, construction tolerances, and documentation practices that support defensible compliance determinations. Written in a neutral, inspection-focused tone, the manual prioritizes where measurements are taken, how compliance is commonly lost during construction, and what inspectors typically verify before approving work. What This Manual Provides A practical interpretation of ICC A117.1-2017 as applied in real-world field conditions Verification-first explanations of accessibility requirements based on physical measurement, not design intent Clear guidance on finish-to-finish dimensions, encroachments, and construction tolerances Identification of high-risk and ""silent"" failures that frequently lead to failed inspections or remediation Inspection-ready documentation guidance, including what measurements and observations should be recorded Key Features Field Verification Focus Each requirement is analyzed through the lens of on-site measurement, identifying exactly what is checked and how it is typically verified. Construction Tolerance Awareness Addresses dimensional drift caused by finishes, base, trim, hardware projection, and slope variation. Inspection-Oriented Organization Content is structured to mirror how accessibility is reviewed during inspections and plan review, not how standards are written. Documentation for Compliance Defense Emphasizes measurable criteria and record-keeping that support defensible compliance determinations. No Legal or Design Commentary The manual does not provide legal advice, interpret case law, or offer design alternatives. It focuses strictly on technical compliance verification.
