PROJECT SCOPE
The primary objective of the project was to update the County’s CAM data through detailed assessments. This involved reviewing drawings, conducting interviews with building operators, and tracking interventions for capital renewal deferrals.
Additionally, Roth IAMS aimed to enhance accessibility within County facilities by conducting Barrier-free Accessibility Assessments (BAA) in accordance with OBC Section 3.8 and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). Collaborating closely with County staff, the project aimed to provide insights into building component performance history and identify barriers to accessibility.
