We’ll plan and coordinate the entire installation process, and a dedicated project manager will make sure that everything is completed on time and on budget.
First you should gather information about suitable solutions for your building, as well as permits and subsidies and make a rough cost calculation. We can help you with this.
Next you should consider how the project will be financed, how much might be covered by subsidies, and how the costs will be shared among residents.
We’ll determine the installation location, create the architectural and engineering designs for the shaft, design the lift interior, and make sure that all relevant permits have been processed.
This stage covers site preparations, shaft and lift installation, and final cleanup. Before we hand over your lift, we’ll carry out a full safety and performance inspection.
Our preventive maintenance service keeps your lift running reliably for its entire lifespan. If problems do occur, our skilled local engineers will get the lift up and running again as quickly as possible.
We can install a lift in almost any building. The size and shape of your stairwell will determine whether the lift will be installed inside or outside.
Installation options:
We can create a solution that matches the interior design and architecture of any building. You can choose a shaft material that matches both your building’s interior and the car wall and floor materials.
