        "text": "ADA compliance for exterior entry ramps primarily focuses on ensuring accessibility for individuals with disabilities. Key design elements include a maximum slope of 1:12 (one inch of rise for every 12 inches of run), a minimum clear width of 36 inches, level landings at the top and bottom, and handrails on both sides if the rise is greater than 6 inches or the horizontal projection is greater than 72 inches. Surfaces must also be firm, stable, and slip-resistant. We ensure all ramp designs adhere to current ADA guidelines.",
