Lift Modernisation
Breathe New Life
Into Your Lift
A lift modernisation project typically involves upgrading the key components of an existing lift, such as the control system, motor, doors or interiors. Our job is to navigate you through the project management process from start to finish, ensuring your project is cost-effective, compliant with industry regulations and standards, and future-proofed.
Ensure a Safer, More Reliable Future with Expert-Led Lift Modernisation
If not executed properly, a lift modernisation project can become significantly costly, complicated and disruptive. That’s where a lift consultant becomes a smart investment. We’re here to help you make the right choices, avoid overspending and achieve the best possible outcome.
We evaluate your existing lift system to determine exactly what needs upgrading. We then provide you with our expert advice and recommendations from an independent perspective. Our consultants oversee the modernisation of lifting equipment by retaining serviceable components considered to be in good working order, and upgrading any aged, worn, obsolete and non-compliant parts with new equipment.
Working directly with lift contractors on your behalf, we ensure all work undertaken is carried out to the highest standards, and in the event of unexpected problems, we use our industry knowledge and experience to rectify them swiftly.

Our Six-Stage Process for Leading Lift Modernisations
01.
Consultation & Site Survey
In an initial consultation, you’ll be introduced to one of our expert lift consultants, who will ask specific questions to gather a clear understanding of your needs and requirements and identify any budgetary controls. An on-site survey will be undertaken so that we can issue you our findings and expert recommendations.
02.
Preparing a Specification
We will collaborate closely with you to develop a comprehensive strategy and write a specification that aligns with your vision and objectives and complies with applicable industry requirements, regulations and standards. We’ll then identify and recommend a selection of lift contractors from our approved contractor list who are well-suited and experienced to execute the required project.
03.
The Tender Process
Our final specification is professionally tendered to the selected lift contractors, and a deadline is given for the return. We analyse all tender submissions thoroughly and present you with a tender analysis report for your review and consideration. Post-tender meetings will be held with prospective contractors to answer any questions, clarify any outstanding issues, and facilitate the next steps in the selection process.
04.
Implementing
the Project
At this stage, we will recommend a preferred contractor, confirm their selection, and place the order on your behalf. A pre-start meeting will be held to cover all project details, timelines, CDM requirements and specific requirements to ensure alignment with all parties. Once the work begins, we will manage the project with regular site visits to monitor progress, address any issues, and ensure adherence to timelines and standards, keeping you fully updated.
05.
Witness Testing
& Snagging
As we approach the project’s final stages, we will conduct a pre-witness test site visit to ensure everything is ready for the full witness test to be conducted to confirm that the lift system and its components meet the specified functionality and performance standards. We will address any outstanding snagging items found from our witness test with the contractor and ensure they are completed to our satisfaction. Additionally, we will carefully review the operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals to ensure they include clear instructions for the ongoing care of the lift equipment.
06.
Completion & Ongoing Support
Upon finalising the project, we will issue a certificate of completion. We are committed to remaining actively engaged throughout the defect liability period and beyond. This proactive involvement will allow us to swiftly address and resolve any potential issues that may arise, ensuring that all concerns are managed effectively and in a timely manner.
