Why Elevator Condition Assessments Matter
Accessibility should feel like part of the plan—not an afterthought. For many people living with disabilities, a reliable elevator isn’t optional—it’s essential. Regular condition checks help make sure your system is safe, dependable, and up to code. But they also show something deeper: that your building is meant for everyone. When you put accessibility first, you’re not just staying compliant—you’re building a space where people feel valued, included, and at ease.
Benefits of Accessibility Compliance
- Legal Protection: Following accessibility laws isn’t just about avoiding trouble—it’s about protecting what you’ve built. In 2023 alone, more than 11,000 ADA lawsuits were filed in federal court, a clear sign that enforcement is ramping up. Failing to comply can cost you in fines, legal fees, and reputation. Staying proactive helps you steer clear of risk and shows your business stands for fairness and accountability.
- Customer Loyalty: When people feel seen and supported, they come back. Making your building accessible shows you care about everyone’s experience—not just compliance. That kind of effort doesn’t go unnoticed. It builds trust, encourages repeat visits, and often leads to positive word-of-mouth and online reviews that boost your reputation in a real way.
- Broader Audience: When your building works for everyone, more people walk through the door. By making spaces accessible, you’re not just helping people with disabilities—you’re also supporting seniors, parents with strollers, and anyone who benefits from easier navigation. Businesses that prioritize accessibility often see real results—some report up to a 20% boost in revenue—because they create spaces that feel inclusive, comfortable, and worth returning to.
- Enhanced Reputation: Accessible companies are recognized as progressive and committed to supporting their communities.
- Increased Revenue:
A more inclusive environment often results in increased foot traffic and sales.
Our Accessibility Compliance Consulting Services
Mountain Cross Consulting offers a comprehensive suite of accessibility services designed to ensure your space, website, or service is fully compliant with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and other relevant laws. With years of expertise, our team ensures seamless implementation of accessibility standards across physical and digital spaces.
Physical Accessibility Compliance
Making your building accessible isn’t just about meeting codes—it’s about creating a space everyone can use comfortably. Whether you’re updating an older property or starting from scratch, we assess critical features and provide clear, practical guidance to help you meet today’s accessibility standards.
ADA Compliance for Public Spaces
We work with you to make sure your public spaces are truly accessible—not just on paper, but in everyday use. Our consultations cover all the essentials:
- Wheelchair Access: We check ramps, doors, and elevators to make sure there’s enough space and easy movement throughout.
- Restroom Accessibility: From stall size to fixture placement, we make sure your restrooms follow ADA standards and are easy for everyone to use.
- Parking: We review your accessible parking spots to confirm they’re the right size, clearly marked, and located where they’re needed most.
- Signage: We recommend clear, helpful signs—featuring braille, raised text, and high-contrast colors—to guide all visitors through your space.
Site Assessments and Audits
A site assessment is the first step in identifying potential areas of non-compliance. We conduct thorough audits of your physical space, including:
- Entrances and Exits
- Pathways and Corridors
- Elevator Access
- Staircase Safety
- Emergency Egress and Evacuation Procedures
Our audits provide actionable recommendations to ensure your building is compliant with all relevant accessibility guidelines.
Renovation and New Construction Consultation
For construction projects, we provide pre-emptive consultations to guide architects and builders in creating accessible designs. From blueprints to final walkthroughs, we ensure that every detail is aligned with accessibility standards. Our team works closely with contractors to ensure smooth project execution and compliance with all necessary codes.

Digital Accessibility Consulting
In the modern digital era, accessibility isn’t limited to physical environments. Digital accessibility ensures that your website, apps, and online platforms are usable by all individuals, including those with visual, auditory, and motor disabilities. Our Digital Accessibility Consulting services help you meet the web accessibility standards outlined in WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and Section 508.
Web Accessibility Audits
We conduct thorough audits of your website or digital platform to assess compliance with WCAG 2.1 standards. Shockingly, approximately 98% of the top one million websites fail to meet basic web accessibility standards, leaving millions of users struggling to navigate essential online services.
- Color Contrast and Text Readability
- Keyboard Navigation and Focus Management
- Alt Text for Images
- Accessible Forms and Input Fields
- Video and Audio Transcripts
After the audit, you’ll receive a clear, actionable report outlining what needs to change—and how to do it—so your site meets today’s accessibility standards.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Accessibility isn’t a one-and-done task—it’s something that needs to grow with your site. As you update content or add new features, we’re here to make sure everything stays accessible. With regular check-ins and up-to-date support, we help you keep pace with changing standards and technology, so your site stays inclusive and compliant over time.
Employee Training and Awareness
True accessibility goes beyond buildings and websites—it starts with your people. We provide hands-on training to help your team understand what accessibility really means and how to support it in daily interactions. Our sessions cover:
- Disability Awareness: Understanding the needs and challenges of individuals with disabilities.
- Customer Service Protocols: Proven strategies for effectively engaging with customers of all abilities.
- Assistive Technologies: Training on the use of assistive devices and software to accommodate employees and customers.
- Legal Requirements: Educating staff about compliance with ADA, Section 508, and other relevant laws.
Accessibility Compliance: Legal Requirements
- In the U.S., the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) plays a central role in making sure people with disabilities have equal access to public spaces, jobs, transportation, and communication tools. But ADA isn’t the only regulation that matters—other rules may apply depending on your industry and location. Key laws include:
- Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act: Ensures federal agencies and contractors provide accessible electronic and information technology.
- Title III of the ADA: Governs public accommodations and commercial facilities.
- Fair Housing Act: Requires that new residential buildings comply with accessibility guidelines.
Failure to adhere to these regulations can result in lawsuits, fines, and significant damage to your reputation. Our consultants ensure that your business meets or exceeds all required legal standards, minimizing the risk of legal challenges.

How Our Process Works
At Mountain Cross Consulting, we understand that no two businesses are the same. That’s why we take the time to build solutions around your specific goals, challenges, and environment. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all fixes—our focus is on what works best for your team, your space, and the people who rely on you.
1. Initial Consultation
Every project starts with a conversation. We take the time to understand how your business operates—whether that means touring your facility, looking over your website, or reviewing your current accessibility efforts. This step gives us a clear picture of where you stand and what you need, so we can craft a plan that actually works for you.
2. Accessibility Audit
Once we understand your goals, we take a detailed look at your physical spaces, digital platforms, or both. Our team checks how your current setup measures up against accessibility standards like the ADA. We identify anything that could create barriers for people with disabilities and offer clear, actionable steps to fix the issues and move toward full compliance.
3. Action Plan Development
With the audit complete, we create a plan that works for your business and your budget. This might include physical changes, updates to your website, or employee training. Most fixes are simpler and more affordable than expected—over half cost nothing, and many others come in under $500. We focus on practical, step-by-step solutions that make accessibility easy to achieve and maintain.
4. Implementation and Support
Once the plan is ready, we help you bring it to life. From start to finish, we work alongside your team to make sure every change is carried out smoothly. We’re available to troubleshoot, adjust, and guide as needed. And as your business changes or new standards roll out, we stay with you—offering ongoing support to keep your accessibility efforts effective and up to date.
