Consultancy — Access Green Design Group

Senior Living

Bring me in early on a senior living project and we'll settle the code, accessibility, and licensing decisions before they turn into constraints you have to design around.

How I help

Choose the right code pathway during due diligence — R-2, R-4, I-1, or I-2
Align construction type with your cost strategy
Build licensing requirements in from the start
Coordinate accessibility across the multiple standards that apply
Keep the design ready for long-term operations and aging in place

The result Less redesign, tighter cost control, and the flexibility to adapt as the project evolves.

Multi-Family

On multi-family projects, I work with you early to line up code decisions with your density, cost, and feasibility goals — before the design gets locked in.

How I help

Optimize construction type, height, and allowable area during due diligence
Weigh podium and mixed-use strategies
Coordinate the accessibility requirements tied to your funding
Find opportunities to reduce firewalls and system costs
Keep code strategy aligned with your budget and schedule

The result Better yield, fewer redesigns, and outcomes you can predict.

Renovation, Repositioning & Conversions

Thinking about renovating or converting an existing building — office, residential, or an underused asset? I help you find the most viable path before you commit design and capital.

How I help

Match the existing construction type to your target use during due diligence
Use the IEBC to avoid unnecessary upgrades
Coordinate accessibility across the standards that apply
Weigh multi-family against senior living feasibility
Surface life safety and accessibility impacts early
Keep the strategy aligned with your budget and schedule

The result Unlocked value, less risk, and fewer costly missteps early in the process.

Architectural Peer Review & Code Analysis

Bring me onto your next submission for an independent, peer-level review of the permit and construction documents — a second set of eyes that catches code and accessibility issues before they reach permitting, bidding, or construction. Engage me at any phase, from schematic design through pre-construction; the review is backed by my work as Architect of Record on 400-plus projects in more than 20 states.

What I'll review on your project

Building code compliance — IBC, IEBC, and NFPA 101
Accessibility — ADA, FHA, UFAS, ICC A117.1, PROWAG, and FGI guidelines
Construction type and fire-resistance strategy
Means of egress and life safety systems
Coordination between your drawings and code intent
Potential permitting issues, flagged early

What you get Code and accessibility conflicts caught early, fewer redesign and permitting delays, smoother AHJ and Fire Marshal reviews, and an added layer of quality control before you submit or build.
