Elevator Modernization

Over time and usage, all elevator and escalator equipment will need to either be replaced or modernized (updated).  Determining if an elevator modernization is necessary is a strategic business decision that your elevator maintenance provider should have little input into. To be blunt, your elevator maintenance provider is charted with “selling” products and services.  The obvious conflict of interest is far too great!

There are many factors driving the need, or desire, to Modernize. Understanding those factors and relating them to the local market, budgetary restraints, impact on the building’s tenancy, and current codes & standards is a detailed process. Generating an appropriate scope of work, translating it into a specification, obtaining competitive bids, analyzing the bids, awarding the contract, and managing the Modernization project are also detailed processes requiring experience and expertise.

The applicable codes do not recognize the term “Modernization”. Therefore, we must begin by understanding what the codes require when we “Alter” our Conveyance Equipment.
