Access audits are more than a compliance check. They are a deep dive into how well your built environment supports the diverse needs of real people. As part of Domatic Access’ consultancy services, our accessibility audits are led by a qualified accessibility auditor with lived experience of disability, ensuring every assessment is grounded in both technical accuracy and everyday usability.
Whether you’re a business owner, developer, architect, or facility manager, engaging Domatic Access for your access audits means gaining more than just a report. You gain insight, clarity, and a clear roadmap for making your environment truly inclusive.
Unlike generic compliance checks, our accessibility audit focus on how a space actually functions. We examine both legal compliance and practical access considerations to help you understand whether your premises support safety, dignity, and ease of use for people with disabilities.
We assess the following:
- Accessible entrances, doorways, and circulation paths
- Ramps, gradients, and changes in level
- Sanitary facilities including accessible toilets
- Signage and wayfinding systems
- Tactile indicators and hearing augmentation
- Emergency egress routes and safety planning
- Car parking and access to public transport
Our goal is not only to ensure alignment with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), the Access to Premises Standards 2010, and the National Construction Code (NCC), but also to highlight opportunities for improvement that might otherwise be overlooked.
What sets us apart is the perspective we bring. Our lead accessibility auditor offers not just professional qualifications but also lived understanding of the barriers faced by people with disability. This ensures that our approach is human-centred, not just standards-driven.
We know that even spaces built to code can still fall short in practice. For example, accessible toilets used as storerooms, ramps that are technically compliant but impractical to use, or door handles placed just out of reach; all of these reduce independence and usability. That’s why our audits go beyond numbers and diagrams; they focus on how a person actually experiences a space.
