Installing a retrofit elevator – a step-by-step guide
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.
Decision-making
We can help you gather information about suitable solutions for your building, as well as permits and subsidies, and make a rough cost calculation.
Financing
We can discuss your options for financing the project, help to identify how much might be covered by subsidies, and recommend alternatives for sharing the costs among residents.
Planning
We’ll determine the installation location, create the architectural and engineering designs for the shaft, design the elevator interior, and make sure that all relevant permits have been processed.
Construction
We take care of all the necessary site preparations, the shaft and elevator installation, and the final cleanup. Before we hand over your elevator, we’ll carry out a full safety and performance inspection.
Maintenance
Our preventive maintenance service keeps your elevator running reliably for its entire lifespan. If problems do occur, our skilled local technicians will get the elevator up and running again as quickly as possible.
The right elevator for your building - let's make it happen!
Finding the right place for your elevator
We can install an elevator in almost any building. The size and shape of your stairwell will determine whether the elevator will be installed inside or outside.
Installation options:
Inside the stairwell with the stairs on either side
In the middle of the staircase
Partly replacing the staircase, which is extended outside the building
In a pre-assembled shaft on an exterior wall. Because the shaft is pre-assembled then lifted into place, this can save time and money.
Choosing a design
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.
Many European countries provide subsidies to cover as much as 60–70% of the total cost of installing an elevator. Typically, the residents’ association takes a loan and finances the repayments through the monthly service fee. Residents then decide how to share the costs. We are ready to give you advice and provide you a preliminary budget, just contact us for support.
