Elevator machine room with controller cabinet and resistor banks

Most elevator advice comes from the people selling the work. We are hired by the building owner, and we answer only to the building owner — including when the answer is that you don’t need to spend the money.


Should you modernize?

Whether the equipment is finished or simply neglected — and what a fair scope and price look like.


What did you sign?

Maintenance agreements, read properly — and a contractor held to what they promised.


Can this still be fixed?

Obsolete equipment, parts nobody will chase, and the boards other people say cannot be replaced.

Can you spot it?

Photographs from real machine rooms, and what our consultants saw in them that the building’s own contractor had been walking past for months. None of it needed specialist equipment to notice — only someone whose job was to look.
