A proposal from Level is written to be compared: scope, allowances and schedule, each on its own line.
How a proposal is built.
We separate the scope from the allowances and the schedule, so you can see what a figure buys and what would move it. Permits, engineering and inspections are listed where they apply, never folded into a number you cannot check.
- Which items are allowances, and what happens when a selection exceeds one?
- How are permits, engineering and inspections shown in the proposal?
- What would change the price after the contract is signed?
Put this perspective into practice.
Each guide below covers what the service involves and the questions worth bringing to your site assessment.
New-build coordination
Our engineers work with your architect and builder from the first drawings, at no charge, so the shaft, power and structure are right the first time.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for new-build coordination?
- How do available space, structural requirements, user needs and applicable codes affect the lift options?
- Which engineering, permits, inspections, emergency arrangements and ongoing service costs are included?
Retrofit & servicing
Assessment for adding a lift to an existing home, plus annual inspection and servicing of any installed elevator.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for retrofit & servicing?
- How do available space, structural requirements, user needs and applicable codes affect the lift options?
- Which engineering, permits, inspections, emergency arrangements and ongoing service costs are included?
Traditional home elevators
Shafted home elevators with hydraulic or traction drives, designed into a renovation or a new build with our engineers.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for traditional home elevators?
- How do available space, structural requirements, user needs and applicable codes affect the lift options?
- Which engineering, permits, inspections, emergency arrangements and ongoing service costs are included?
