Home & Business Accessibility Services Across the UAE
Flex Access designs and builds accessibility into homes, hotels, offices and public spaces across the UAE, checked against Federal Law No. 29 of 2006, the Dubai Universal Design Code and the Abu Dhabi International Building Code, not against guesswork.
Quick Answer
Flex Access provides nine accessibility services across the UAE: home renovations for aging in place and wheelchair use, accessible bathrooms and kitchens, homecare-friendly layouts, workplace accessibility audits, hospitality consulting, DAMJ Award consulting for Abu Dhabi organisations, and tactile and wayfinding systems. Every project is checked against UAE accessibility law before it is signed off.

Built around the person, checked against the code
Human-First Design
Every project starts with how a person actually moves through a space, not a product to sell.
Checked Against UAE Code
Federal Law No. 29, the Dubai Universal Design Code and the Abu Dhabi International Building Code, on every project.
One Team, Start to Finish
The same team handles assessment, design, build and handover, so nothing gets lost between contractors.
Trusted by Institutions
Working with teams at RTA, Emirates, Rixos and Hilton, alongside individual families across the UAE.
Every service checked against three UAE frameworks
Federal Law No. 29 of 2006
The UAE's national framework concerning the rights of People of Determination, setting the legal basis for accessible housing and workplaces.
Dubai Universal Design Code
Governs ramp slope, stair and handrail dimensions, door clearances and accessible bathroom layouts.
Abu Dhabi International Building Code
Addresses alterations to existing buildings, the exact situation most renovation and audit projects involve.
Four steps from first call to handover
The same clear sequence, whatever service you need.
Assessment
A free on-site visit to see how the space is actually used, room by room.
Plan & Quote
A written plan and quotation, referencing the exact UAE code sections that apply.
Build or Audit
Work carried out in sequence, or a full audit delivered as a prioritized written report.
Handover
A final walkthrough confirming every fixture and clearance works exactly as planned.
The person reviewing every Flex Access project
Nouh Aqra
Nouh founded Flex Access after years working in accessible mobility and the built environment, from adapting vehicles for driving schools to redesigning homes, bathrooms and hotel rooms around the person who lives in them. He reviews every Flex Access project against UAE accessibility law and design standards before it is signed off.
What families and partners say
"The team assessed our villa, explained exactly which code sections applied to our bathroom, and delivered a renovation that finally works for my father. No pressure, no upselling."
"We needed our accessible room ratio reviewed before an audit. Flex Access walked every floor with us and handed over a report we could act on the same week."
"As the architect on the project, I needed a partner who knew the Dubai Universal Design Code cold. Flex Access caught details our first draft missed entirely."
Flex Access services, answered
Flex Access provides nine core services: aging in place renovation, wheelchair accessible home modifications, accessible bathrooms, accessible kitchens, homecare-friendly modifications, workplace accessibility audits, hospitality accessibility consulting, DAMJ Award consulting, and tactile and wayfinding systems.
Most clients start with a free assessment. Flex Access visits the property, identifies the gaps between how the space is used today and how it needs to work, and recommends the right combination of services in writing.
Yes. Every project is reviewed against Federal Law No. 29 of 2006, the Dubai Universal Design Code, and the Abu Dhabi International Building Code, whichever apply to the property and emirate.
Yes. Flex Access works with villa owners and families on home renovations, and with architects, developers, hotel operators and employers on audits, consulting and larger commercial projects.
Cost depends on scope, since a single grab bar installation and a full workplace audit are not comparable projects. Flex Access provides a written, itemized quotation after a free assessment rather than a generic price range.
Timelines depend on scope. A single bathroom renovation is a different project from a whole-home retrofit or a multi-floor workplace audit. The free assessment is where Flex Access confirms scope and gives a realistic timeline in writing.
