Most buildings in the UAE were not designed with inclusivity in mind. As a result, many People of Determination are excluded from spaces that were never meant to exclude them.
Empower Design Co. provides professional accessibility audits across the UAE, helping homeowners, developers, hotel operators, and facility managers assess and improve the inclusiveness of their properties.
Our audits go far beyond ramps and handrails. We evaluate environments through the lens of physical, sensory, and cognitive accessibility — aligning with Australia’s SDA standards and adapted for local architectural norms and cultural needs.
Our audits examine every space from the perspective of a person with a disability — identifying physical, sensory, and behavioral design barriers that may prevent safe and independent use.
Our final report includes a comprehensive accessibility score, a list of recommended improvements, and if requested, a design proposal for upgrades.
Families caring for children, elderly parents, or relatives with disabilities benefit from clear, professional advice on how to adapt existing homes to support everyday life.
Operators looking to attract inclusive tourism and align with Dubai’s status as the world’s first autism-friendly city should understand how their current design impacts guest experiences.
Audit services during pre-construction or renovation phases help ensure that buildings meet rising standards for accessibility — reducing costly retrofits later.
Institutions aiming to comply with evolving accessibility regulations and global best practices will benefit from formal, standards-based evaluations.
The UAE has made accessibility a national priority.
Inclusive buildings appeal to broader audiences and offer long-term ROI.
As policies evolve, proactive auditing ensures future compliance.
Inclusive environments foster dignity, equality, and belonging.
Our audits help identify problems before they become liabilities — or missed opportunities.
We also offer pre-certification audits for projects seeking inclusion branding or government alignment.
Whether you manage a single-family villa or a multi-floor hospitality brand, we provide the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
Empower Design Co. was created to change that.
We help align world-class accessibility design with the UAE’s national vision for inclusion — starting with where people live, stay, and gather.
