A home lift connects floors through an existing or planned building. At Level the first conversation gives equal room to access needs and the architecture around the equipment.
We explain the building work around the lift.
We assess structure, space, floor openings and access requirements. Design, engineering, approvals and inspection each have a named owner, with installation and future servicing responsibilities recorded in writing.
- What structural and space information do you need?
- Who coordinates design, permits and inspection requirements?
- Which building work, installation and servicing are quoted?
Put this perspective into practice.
Each guide below covers what the service involves and the questions worth bringing to your site assessment.
Pneumatic lift options
Vacuum-driven pneumatic elevators that need no pit or machine room, for homes where space is tight.
- What should the site assessment and written scope establish for pneumatic lift options?
- 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?
