Precision & Expertise in Elevator Consulting Services

Why Your Building Needs Expert Elevator Guidance

 Elevators aren’t just a convenience—they’re one of the most-used systems in your building. When elevators stop working, everything slows down—tenants get frustrated, deliveries stall, and the whole building feels it. That’s why having a dependable system matters. And that’s where we come in. We’re not just here to check a few boxes—we’re here to make sure your elevators stay safe, smooth, and ready for whatever the day throws at them.

What We Know Inside and Out
  • Traction Elevators – Best suited for taller buildings where speed and efficiency matter.
  • Hydraulic Systems – A reliable choice for low-rise buildings that need strength without the height.
  • MRL (Machine-Room-Less) – Great for saving space while still delivering solid performance.
  • Freight Elevators – Built tough to handle heavy loads, day in and day out.

Comprehensive Solutions for Every Need
  • Performance assessments:
​Evaluate current system efficiency and identify improvement opportunities. Considering that ​elevators in the U.S. collectively travel over 2.55 billion miles annually—more than all domestic air travel combined—routine system evaluations are essential. Our performance assessments detect inefficiencies early, helping property managers improve reliability and extend system lifespan.
  • Modernization Planning
If your system’s starting to feel outdated, we’ll help you plan smart upgrades—using today’s best technology to bring new life to older equipment.
  • Code Compliance Audits
Local codes. State requirements. Federal standards. We stay on top of it all, so you don’t have to. We’ll make sure your system checks every box—and we’ll help fix what doesn’t.
  • Maintenance Evaluations
Not sure if you’re getting the most out of your service contract? We’ll take a look and recommend changes that can cut costs and improve performance, without sacrificing safety.
  • New Construction Design Support
Working on a new build? We’ll collaborate with your design team early on to ensure the elevator fits into the project seamlessly—from space planning to system specs.

Client-Centric Approach
We don’t just offer solutions—we build them around your operational needs and financial priorities.

Compliance and Safety Audits
Making sure your elevators follow the latest codes isn’t just a box to check--it’s a crucial part of keeping your building safe and your liability low. We take a close, practical look at your system to flag any risks and help you fix them before they become problems.
Here’s what we cover:
  • We inspect your equipment against key safety standards like ASME A17.1 and EN 81.
  • We dig into your maintenance records to see if service has been consistent and up to par.
  • You’ll get a clear, no-nonsense report with our findings—plus a list of what should be tackled first.
  • ​
Why It Matters
  • You protect yourself legally and reduce the chance of accidents.
  • You avoid unexpected fines, shutdowns, or costly emergency repairs.
  • You maintain trust with both your tenants and the local inspectors who keep a close eye on building safety.
Making Maintenance Work Smarter
Keeping your elevators in shape shouldn’t be guesswork. A smart maintenance plan can save you time, money, and a whole lot of headaches. We’ll take a close look at your current contracts—see what’s working, what’s not—and help you make sure you’re getting the most for your money. That might mean negotiating better terms with your service providers or setting up systems that track performance in real time, so you catch issues before they cause problems.
​
What You’ll See
  • Fewer surprise breakdowns
  • Lower long-term costs
  • Better performance and happier tenants

Vertical Transportation Design Consulting
When you're building from the ground up—or giving a property a major overhaul—your elevator system needs to fit seamlessly into the plan. We work closely with architects, engineers, and developers to make sure everything lines up from day one.
Here’s how we help:
  • We figure out how many elevators your building actually needs—and where they should go to keep things moving efficiently.
  • We recommend the right types of elevators based on your layout, traffic patterns, and budget.
  • We stay on top of code requirements, making sure everything’s fully compliant from the start—no surprises later.
Why It Works
  • The whole design and install process runs smoother when everything’s planned up front.
  • You end up with a system that can grow with your building—not one that needs reworking in a few years.
  • It’s a smart, cost-effective way to get exactly what you need—without wasting time or money.

The Key Benefits of Partnering with Us

Industry Know-How That Actually Helps
We’ve been at this for a while, working with all kinds of buildings—from small walk-ups to high-rises. So we get it: elevators can be complicated, and managing them isn’t always easy. Our team knows how to spot the real issues and help you stay ahead of problems before they turn into headaches.
Solutions That Fit Your Building—Not Just the Blueprint
Every building’s got its own quirks. That’s why we don’t believe in cookie-cutter fixes. Whether you’re dealing with aging equipment, inconsistent performance, or just trying to future-proof your system, we’ll build a plan that fits your space, your needs, and your budget.
We Don’t Cut Corners—Ever
We’re big on follow-through. From day one to the final sign-off, we keep you in the loop, make sure everything’s done right, and focus on results that actually matter. Good service isn’t just about getting the job done—it’s about doing it with care and doing it well.

Benefits of Professional Elevator Consulting

Get More Life Out of Your Equipment
Elevators aren’t cheap, and replacing them isn’t something anyone wants to do sooner than they have to. That’s why it just makes sense to stretch their lifespan. We help with that by keeping an eye on things—regular checkups, smart maintenance planning, small fixes before they turn into bigger ones. It’s about staying ahead of the game so you’re not stuck with major repair bills down the line.
​
Keep Safety Front and Center
We don’t mess around when it comes to safety. If there’s a part that’s loose, something outdated, or just something off, we’ll catch it and sort it out. Fast. Sure, you want to pass inspections—but it’s really about making sure people in your building feel safe every time they step inside an elevator.
Improve How Your System Runs, Day to Day
People notice when elevators aren’t right. Long waits, bumpy rides, or random breakdowns—none of that makes a good impression. We tweak and fine-tune to keep things moving better. Quicker trips, fewer complaints, smoother rides. Even when things are busy, your elevators will handle it without a fuss.

Stay on Top of Codes and Regulations
The rules change—sometimes more often than
you’d think. And keeping up with them? That’s a whole job on its own. Luckily, it’s our job. We track the latest codes and standards so you don’t have to. Local stuff, national stuff—we’ve got it covered, helping you avoid fines or delays that nobody wants.
