Restroom Stalls and All delivers turnkey toilet partition installation across Alabama—from Birmingham, Huntsville and Tuscaloosa to Montgomery, Mobile and the Gulf Coast.

What “code‑correct in Alabama” actually means (2025–2026)
1) The State Building Code on public projects (DCM)
For state‑owned facilities and all public K‑12 and public postsecondary projects, Alabama DCM enforces the 2021 International Building Code (with targeted 2024 IBC adoptions as of March 17, 2025)—alongside the 2010 ADA Standards (which supersede IBC/ANSI where noted).
2) ADA requirements you can rely on in every jurisdiction
We size and place doors, clearances, and grab bars to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Key wheelchair‑accessible toilet compartment dimensions:
-
Width: 60″ min
-
Depth: 56″ min (wall‑hung WC) or 59″ min (floor‑mounted WC)
-
Door clearance and approach: sized so users can maneuver and close the door
We also configure ambulatory accessible compartments where required. -
Where the IBC applies (including DCM projects), certain occupancies must also provide an accessible unisex/family toilet room when six or more fixtures are required; we flag this early in design.
3) When ANSI/ICC A117.1 matters
Many Alabama AHJs reference ICC A117.1‑2017. That edition formalizes an alternate wheelchair‑accessible partition (60″×84″ min) that we can include when your reviewer requires the A117.1‑2017 option.
Public purchasing & bid compliance in Alabama (so your award sticks)
-
Municipal/Local Competitive Bid Law (Title 41): Competitive bidding starts at $30,000 for labor/services/material purchases by municipalities and many local entities. We package quotes/specs accordingly and avoid scope‑splits that could invalidate a purchase.
- Public Works (Title 39): When your restroom upgrade is part of public works, different rules apply (ads, bid forms, bonds). Since Sept. 1, 2023, Alabama increased the minimum contract requiring performance & payment bonds(100% and ≥50% respectively) to $100,000. We furnish the proper bonds when public works thresholds are met.
Tip for Q4 FY25–Q1 FY26 planning: Alabama’s state fiscal year runs Oct 1 – Sept 30. If you’re spending FY26 money, align procurement and install windows with this calendar—especially for winter break work on campus.

Materials & hardware that outperform in Alabama
-
HDPE (Solid Plastic): The best choice for humid/coastal schools and parks (resists rust, delamination, graffiti).
-
Phenolic / Compact Laminate: High rigidity and impact resistance for stadiums/arenas; excellent cleanability.
-
Stainless Steel (Type 304/316): Premium look for healthcare and higher‑ed; 316 available for coastal corrosion resistance.
-
Powder‑Coated/Baked Enamel Steel: Budget‑friendly for office and retail with a wide color palette.
-
Privacy upgrades: No‑sightline doors & pilasters, tall doors/panels, quiet‑close hardware, occupancy indicators, through‑bolted vandal‑resistant hinges and latches.
We’ll match mounting style to your substrate and maintenance plan (floor‑mounted/overhead braced, ceiling‑hung for easier floor cleaning, or full‑height privacy systems).
Our Alabama field‑to‑finish workflow
-
Walkthrough & measurement – Confirm rough‑in locations, partition datum lines, tile heights, floor slopes, door swings, and ADA/egress relationships.
-
Code & submittals – We produce dimensioned shop drawings with ADA and (where applicable) DCM/IBC/A117.1 annotations and hardware schedules for quick review.
-
Procure & stage – Coordinate deliveries to avoid school hours or clinical peaks.
-
Install – Laser‑true pilasters, consistent reveals, anchored and sealed per manufacturer and substrate.
-
QC & turnover – Punch‑list closeout, O&M packet, spare parts kit; if your project is under DCM, we’ll align with your plan/inspection milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions (Alabama‑specific)
Q1) What size is an ADA toilet compartment?
A wheelchair‑accessible compartment is 60″ wide minimum and 56″ (wall‑hung) or 59″ (floor‑mount) deep minimum, with compliant door clearances and grab bars. We lay these out in submittals so plan review is smooth.
Q2) Do Alabama colleges need a separate family/unisex toilet room?
Where the IBC applies (including DCM projects), assembly and mercantile occupancies with six or more fixtures must provide an accessible unisex/family toilet room. We’ll flag this during design so signage, plumbing counts, and wayfinding are coordinated.
Q3) Is A117.1‑2017 the rule in Alabama?
DCM explicitly recognizes the 2010 ADA Standards and notes where those requirements supersede IBC/ANSI. Some AHJs also enforce A117.1‑2017 details (e.g., the 60″×84″ alternate compartment). We design to the strictest applicablerequirement for your AHJ and project type.
Q4) What public purchasing thresholds apply to restroom partitions?
For many municipalities/local entities, Title 41 competitive bidding starts at $30,000 (labor/services/materials). Public works projects are governed by Title 39 and have different bid/bond rules. We’ll align our proposal with the right statute so your award stands.
Q5) What bonds are required on public works projects?
As of Sept. 1, 2023, Alabama requires performance (100%) and payment (≥50%) bonds for public works contracts of $100,000+. We provide compliant bonds when your project meets those thresholds.
Q6) How should we schedule installs for FY26 budgets?
Alabama’s state fiscal year runs October 1 – September 30. For FY26 budgets, we recommend locking in submittals and PO/contracting in Q4 2025, with installs scheduled over winter break (Dec–Jan) or early spring.
