Independent advice and project management for lift modernisation, refurbishment and replacement. We help you choose the right option for your building, then manage the project from concept to handover, on time and on budget.
Often enough, there are options to either modernise, refurbish or replace the equipment. With pros and cons for each such as varying life expectancy, performance levels or reliability.
Costs can be high and navigating the market can be daunting. We manage lift modernisation, lift refurbishment and lift replacement projects day-in and day-out for our clients. From concept through to handover. Ensuring our clients get competitive prices and projects delivered on time and on budget.
Modernising involves replacing important key lift components. These are worn or obsolete components or otherwise at the end of their life expectancy. Other components that do not need replacing are retained.
Sometimes refurbishing the lift, or replacing it entirely, is the better option.
Whichever is appropriate we offer a straightforward lift consultancy service that supports you all the way throughout the process.
Independent advice, so you know you are paying a fair price for the right work.
No concerns about making sure the contractor delivers on time and to budget.
We make sure on your behalf that the correct quality of equipment is included.
Our lift consultancy services for lift modernisation, lift replacement or lift refurbishment are broken down into the following phases.
Firstly, we undertake a detailed engineering survey of the lift.
Initially, we write a lift specification and put together a tender package.
Then we send this out and administer the tender for you or we can work alongside you whilst you or another member of the project team sends out the tender.
The next stage is to evaluate tender bids and provide a tender analysis report.
Finally, we assist in final negotiation prior to an order or a contract with the lift contractor being placed.
Through the procurement period we will monitor progress.
We will review and approve any lift contractor drawings.
An important milestone is a pre-start meeting. This is arranged by us to make sure everything is in place and everyone is ready before starting on site.
We oversee, monitor and check and report progress on site.
Once the work is complete we undertake acceptance inspections.
These involve checking the equipment functions as specified.
That it is installed correctly and all necessary documentation (O&M Manuals and Certificates) are in place.
There is no obligation to commit to every phase. We are happy to take an instruction for some phases and not others.
