Map the routes people actually use
Draw the paths from the driveway, home entrance, and storage areas through the garage. Include the positions of parked vehicles and frequently moved items. Ask household members where access feels awkward rather than assuming everyone uses the same route. Note tasks such as carrying groceries or moving a bicycle that require more room than simply walking through.
Describe needs without prescribing a solution
Share visibility, reach, mobility, or carrying concerns with the professionals reviewing the project. Ask how the proposed equipment and layout affect those routines. Do not treat the vehicle opening as a substitute for any required pedestrian exit, or make building changes without the appropriate assessment. This planning exercise identifies needs; it does not determine legal accessibility or building requirements.
Check the routine after changes
Before fixing storage or choosing a final control location, walk through the proposed routine with the installer using a safe, stationary arrangement. Keep clear of the moving door and follow the site’s instructions. Record unresolved questions about entry or exit and assign them to the appropriate professional. Revisit the plan when vehicle sizes or storage layouts change.

Before you proceed
Does this checklist establish accessibility compliance?
No. It records practical needs and questions for the relevant professionals. It does not determine legal accessibility or building requirements. Describe the intended users and routes clearly so the project assessment can address the actual site and proposed changes.
