Description of Works
The Lift Consultancy was appointed as lift package manager for Mace Group, responsible for delivering 45 lifts to the end client Land Securities.
As lift package manager, we managed Kone and other key interface trades to ensure delivery and installation to specification, programme and cost.
Key Issues
Key issues and challenges revolved around the interfaces with other trade works, especially entrances, lobby walls and architraves, and BMS systems.
We held regular fortnightly meetings with Kone to review progress and to discuss and agree forward planning of works.
We also conducted regular site walk -arounds and inspections to monitor Kone progress and to discuss and agree solutions to on-site problems.
