Lift Modernisation Consultancy

Your Lifts and Escalators not only have a direct effect on your business in moving your workforce efficiently in a comfortable and timely manner, but are also often the first impression clients have of your business when visiting your organisation.

As your equipment ages, component parts wear at different rates dependent on the traffic and usage and quite often this can be resolved by partial modernisation which deals specifically with those components rather than replacement of the entire installation.

It is possible, on certain types of Maintenance Contract, that the client will have paid, over a number of years of repetitive callouts for the cost of a Major or full refurbishment or complete replacement of the installation, whilst suffering from extended downtime that could all be avoided by taking the appropriate action and investing in the replacement of the correct parts of the installtion at the appropriate time.

There is also a fine balance dependent on various circumstances and factors which also mean that sometimes repeated partial modernisations during the lifespan of the installation are less cost effective in the long run than "premature" complete replacement.

Given that, dependent on the type of maintenance contract, making continuing running repairs to failing equipment, could in the long term increase the total cost of ownership exponentially to your detriment, and beyond the original cost of replacement, the engagement of a reputable experienced Lift Consultant to give independent advice and recommendations based upon life expectancy and lifecycle costs puts you, the client, back in the driving seat and ensures that your investment is protected and correctly and efficiently targeted saving you money over the expected lifespan of the equipment.

No two projects are the same. Each project brings a new set of variables, considerations and challenges which need to be factored into the overall project strategy to ensure success. From specialist requirements such as working in occupied buildings or sensitive environments, tight project schedules and demanding timelines to specific aesthetic requirements and finishes, we have, as they say, 'been there and done it'
