Elevator Modernization Planning: Steps for a Smooth Transition
Comprehensive System Assessment and Goal Setting
Our experts will evaluate the condition of all major components, including the control system, hoisting machinery, door operators, and safety systems. This evaluation goes beyond simple wear-and-tear; we determine what upgrades are necessary for compliance with the latest safety codes and pinpoint areas where modern technology can yield the greatest returns in efficiency and performance.
Defining the Scope and Creating a Detailed Budget
The next phase is to precisely define the scope of work, which may range from a partial upgrade of controls and fixtures to a full overhaul of the machine room and cab interior. Based on this scope, we develop a detailed and transparent budget and timeline. Our planning minimizes the element of surprise by accounting for all factors, including the cost of components, labor, and required permitting processes in Virginia jurisdictions.
Strategic Scheduling and Stakeholder Communication
We work diligently to create a strategic work schedule designed to reduce elevator downtime. For buildings with multiple units, this often involves staggering the modernization process to keep at least one elevator operational.
Execution with Expert Union Elevator Technicians
By choosing our experienced union elevator technicians, you are partnering with professionals dedicated to high-quality craftsmanship and adherence to the strictest industry standards. Upon completion of the component installation and refurbishment, a rigorous testing phase is performed, followed by the necessary safety inspections to ensure the modernized system is fully code compliant, reliable, and ready for service.
