The Elevator Consultants (TEC) is an independent elevator consulting firm specializing in vertical transportation analysis. TEC is one of the most well-renowned vertical transportation consultants in the country, and we have earned that regard by providing individualized, thoughtful service to meet our clients’ specific needs and exceed expectations. We identify potential expenses and opportunities, and help owners assess performance and efficiency. Savings depend on the equipment, agreement and issues found. TEC provides building owners and managers the oversight and control they need for smooth and safe equipment operation.
TEC offers tailored services and software solutions to meet your elevator, escalator, and moving walkway needs. Our consulting professionals generally bring decades of elevator-industry experience. We combine that experience with technology, software and data to help building owners understand their equipment, evaluate service and make informed decisions. TEC has personnel with Qualified Elevator Inspector (QEI) qualifications. Required qualifications depend on the assignment and applicable jurisdiction.
TEC works with clients from around the globe to solve their issues while providing advice and guidance about specific building requirements and equipment systems. Since the very beginning, our purpose has been to advocate for buildings and their teams, providing the in-depth vertical transportation expertise that allows the building team to make smart decisions about one of the largest assets. We are dedicated to working in the best interests of our clients, comprised of building owners, property managers, insurance companies, attorneys, facility managers, and anyone else who needs to understand the complex world of elevator maintenance and compliance.

Who we work for
Elevators behave differently depending on what the building does, who uses it, and what happens when a car goes out of service. These are the sectors we work in most often.
- Hospitals and healthcare systems: critical equipment, documented compliance, and no tolerance for surprises.
- Condominiums and residential associations: capital decisions that have to be explained to owners who will vote on them.
- Universities and institutions: large mixed portfolios of equipment of very different ages.
- REITs and multi-property portfolios: consistency and comparable reporting across many buildings.
- Commercial office and property management: vendor performance, contracts, and downtime.
- Attorneys and insurers: code, practice, and testimony.
Our technology
TEC combines experienced elevator professionals, technology, software, data and appropriate use of AI to help building owners and managers understand elevator information and evaluate their options. Technology supports our professionals; professional judgment remains central to our recommendations.
TEC uses ElevatorApp to support elevator information and oversight. Ask TEC which technology and monitoring options fit your engagement.
Professional review
TEC’s work receives professional review by experienced elevator personnel. Additional technology-assisted review, including AI where appropriate, can support that quality-control process. These reviews support careful analysis and clear recommendations; they do not guarantee error-free results.
How working with us actually goes
Most engagements follow the same shape, whether the question is a single quote or a portfolio of buildings.
- You send us what you have. A proposal, a contract, service records, or simply the problem as you understand it.
- We tell you whether there is anything to look at. Sometimes there is not, and we will say so before you have spent anything with us.
- We assess the equipment and the paperwork together. The condition of the equipment rarely means much without the maintenance history and the contract beside it.
- You get a written finding in plain language, what we found, what we recommend, and what we would do next in your position.
- We stay through the work if you want us to, writing the specification, running a competitive bid, and holding the contractor to what was bought.
Every engagement is different. Some assignments are focused reviews or audits, while others continue through bidding, modernization and final project completion. Start by telling us what is happening. We will explain how we can help, what the next step should be and whether you need an independent elevator consultant.
