Defining

• During the design stages of any building it is essential to calculate correctly the required lifts and escalators based on the expected building use. Once determined, the equipment service capacities and dimensional requirements need to be included within the building design. The final stage is to clearly communicate the equipment requirements to potential suppliers in order to allow competitive tendering.
• Traffic Analysis Calculations – Based on the building type, number of floors, expected levels of population, interfloor levels and your expected performance levels, we can calculate the number, duty and speed of the lifts and escalators required. We can allow for any special situation that may affect your building (unusual layout, different area activities, special security or access routes etc.) and adjust calculations accordingly.
• Equipment space and services – Advising the optimum dimensional requirements and services’ capacities into the building design is essential to allow the maximum number of potential suppliers to tender to provide your equipment.
• Best suited equipment identification – Clear specification documentation and presentation to the potential suppliers will maximise competitive responses for the supply of your equipment.

Managing

• Competitive tender facilitation – In order to achieve the desired result we ensure that we select the most suitable suppliers, who can offer the required standard of equipment together with adequate resources.
• Order Management – After placement of order it is always important to review with suppliers their progress against agreed targets through the manufacture, delivery, installation and test phases of a project. Identifying any potential delay early can allow recovery and minimise any consequential effects.

Reviewing

• Witness testing
• Final report writing – We provide a report conforming compliance to requested specification, code and certification combined with confirmation that the equipment is operating to the desired performance standards.
